What is Needed

Sometimes when I hit the day it ends up being filled with a wide variety of things.  Today was one of those days when I just had to do what was needed at the time.  This morning I ran into work to hang pictures up on the wall.  These pictures were sitting on the bar and needed to be hung before we opened so there I was, hanging pictures.  I headed home afterwards to walk Jack over to the high school for his field day.  It was a good time and I got to stay and watch him participate in the 100 yard dash and then a softball throw.  He ran hard in the race and earned some points for his class and then he threw the softballs a decent distance for his non ball playing skills.  He was a little winded after his run so I actually stood in the line for the softball throw for him.  It's what was needed.  Actually, he had kind of freaked out about a line and someone who cut in front of him.  He was letting him have it.  I went over and managed to get him through it.  He needs to relax a bit on some of these things. Anyway, I decided I would stand in the line and he could cool off a bit.  That worked out.  He managed to find someone with a boxer puppy and hung out and played with the dog the entire time I held his place in line.  He could have done that all day.  When we got to the shop I was asked to roll silverware, done.  I was the one free person that could handle busing some tables.  So I did some of that.  Got to help unload the new range/oven.  Had to do it.  It is a wonderful and welcome addition to the kitchen.  Ah, the roof.  Had to get the swamp cooler functioning.  That is a fun job.  It's done.  I'm done.  Ready to pass out, it is needed.
