2026 OneThing #40 - Help Louie with Goals

I wish I'd blogged about this on Sunday! Here it is, Tuesday, and I think I failed my partner yesterday. He was super short with me yesterday and when I asked him about it on the way home from the lake, he attributed it partly to tiredness and partly to me not doing enough to help us leave by 3pm. Ah well.

 

Last week, it was very interesting to have this as my goal. I found myself constantly thinking, "How can I best assist Louie with what he wants to get done?" It helped steer me away from my own goal-setting and personal focus. That was nice! (It's much too easy to be selfish.)

 

I did some research on the supplies for his workshop, I went to Ace and bought a "plug" that he needed for the electrical stuff (see pic), I helped unload the trailer of things from Jordan, I wrapped up his tie-downs, I fetched an extension cord for him from the shed, I helped get the canopy off the lift, I drove the pontoon across the lake so we could take it out, and I helped on the trip to Lowe's in Fargo to get some materials.  

 

Oh! We also took out the dock together and the pedal boat. It was hard work and tiring for both of us, but the weather was simply gorgeous! We're hiring the Mularis to take the lifts out. I hope that goes well. 

 

We're well into a new week and I need to get a move on.
