I had a devastating start to my day today leaving me feeling less than good...I'm not much better right now, although I made it through the day and that's something.
After staring into space for a while I decided to occupy my mind with something productive so pulled out a Lego build I've been working on. I say, working on, but it has actually sat untouched for a few months; I've been otherwise engaged. Today seemed a good day to resume and I hoped the process would calm my overactive, unsettled mind.
The build is a big Lego Technic set which incorporates Lego's most complex gearbox to date. You can read the initial post here which will fill you in if a little more you would like.
The day I began the build I was chatting with a very special person. I remember joking about the set not working when I was finished due to me having put a part in wrong during that initial stage because of a lack of focus due to that chatting - I said I'd blame the person I was chatting to as a joke and we had a laugh about it then thought nothing more of it for a few months...Until today.
Of course I would never do such a thing, lay blame, because I'm a take responsibility and ownership sort of guy but today when I resumed building...Well, let's just say I had to deploy that ownership and responsibility scenario and I thought of that online chat.
