We did indeed get rained out today- we got the stringers cut for our second set of stairs, just in time for the Weather Network to toss us a tornado warning, which convinced the Habitat crew to pack it in for the day.
Everyone's running around getting ready for the Justin Timberlake concert. While we've dressed so reservedly for the past week, suddenly the mascara and hair products come out. It's somewhat ridiculous, considering we're sitting in the nosebleed seats, but it's good to see everyone so excited- it may just be what we need to pump us up for the last day of work tomorrow.
I love the sense of togetherness that has evolved over the course of this trip, and the way we have all fused together. You can see it in the way everyone lends things to each other while they're getting ready for this concert, but also in the way we converse, have singalongs in the showers, and encourage each other while we work. While a lot of what we've seen and experienced this week has been rough, I think that having such a supportive team behind us has been instrumental in getting through it, and has greatly improved our morale at the work site. So I guess this post is really just a thank you to our teach, for sticking together through thick and thin and being great people to work with.
Tomorrow- the last day of work, the Bourbon Street encore, and Cafe du Monde. Also, the President is in town, apparently. Though frankly, if he were to be involved in our next celebrity sighting, I'm not sure that any of us would have any kind words to share...
