Lead by Example

Taking Control

I often have frustration dreams about trying to find a bathroom. When I find a bathroom, there is always something wrong. Usually there are no stall doors, or very low ones. The toilets are almost always of unusual shape, size or height.

Last night I drempt that we were trying to use the restroom at this hotel/gas station/restaurant place in the middle of nowhere. The restroom was in the way back. It had all kinds of issues. I finally did it. I grabbed the owner and his wife and I talked to them. I said:

"You have to fix this. There are four major issues with your restrooms." I picked a number, but hadn't thought through what the four things would be. As I began listing them, I realized that there were, in fact four code issues: "First, your restrooms are not ADA accessible. Second, you have to walk through your food storage room to get to them, which is not sanitary. Third, the toilet is on this table, and too high for anyone to sit on; and forth, there are low windows that anyone can look in."

It was awesome. As a result of the discussion, they were actually going to fix their restrooms!

Now, if I could only do something about the dreams where I am trying to pack, and can't find anything; or where I am missing clothing and walking around in public.

Studying

I am almost ready to take my structures exam to be a licensed Architect. I often study on my bed. My test is scheduled for May 18th. After that, I have 6 more tests to go. It will be so awesome when I am done!!!!

Points

I went for a walk at Bountiful Lake at sunset. I had my camera with me. It was then that I remembered that you could get extra points from this month's fitness competition by identifying birds on your walk, so I tried it. I found eight types. This is a picture of 3 geese flying over. I hear many languages of the people fishing at this lake--mostly Spanish. There are some strange European languages that I cannot identify, as well.
