Busy, trying to get something finished...

Ok, it has been a few weeks since I posted. Not much different in my day to day, except changing work schedules. I worked 11 days straight over several different shifts. Then had a 3 day weekend.
followed by an early shift and 4 regular shifts.. now after a 'regular' work week, I am covering another early morning shift.

I had a meeting with my boss and got praise for filling in and staying busy, doing my job.
I need to continue on the projects I was hired for, and all will be well..

Speaking of projects, I have spent much of the past 3 weeks, in the cold garage getting the car put back together.. just to have to take it apart again because the Transmission needs to be replaced too.
So.. the next one is on its way, should be here today, and I will go home after work and start disassembly again, maybe by next week get it all back together and finish this task.

I have a few things to finish at home, need to find some remaining furniture, and empty the final 16 book boxes.. work on the equipment in the basement... maybe fine tune my routine.. then maybe plan some time to 'not' work...

Taxes will be the next challenge, moving, selling a home, buying a home, changing jobs and incomes, will be interesting to quantify. I do not expect any great benefit to the changes I have done, but hope there is no great penalty.

Personally, I am back to just me.. I have been just making each day go into the next.. Not what I expected, but really never had any real long term plan, I was just taking it day to day, and the changes happened, responsibilities changed slightly, but because of it all, I am where I am. I have my own space, L has hers.

Funny thing.. I think its funny,  'L' got a text from 'A', asking what she was doing, while we were at dinner.. and stated that 'A' would like to see 'L'.. Since it was close to 'L's Birthday... 'A' has not noticed we have moved 2000 miles away more than 9 months ago... No, we didn't tell her, but you would think, maybe, she would notice, or maybe ask?  'L' just decided not to explain it.. There has been no follow-up.  That was the first contact in almost 2 years... Just saying..

Anyway, I need to finish the car, I will have registration on Wednesday, so need to get it done this weekend. That is the plan.

More soon..

Working different shifts

The past 2 months, I have been working everyone else's shifts.  I am still trying to get my stuff done, but it takes a couple days to get used to the new sleep / make schedule. Then rearrange my day to fit the work schedule. I have put a few things on hold till I can get back on track.  I am still working on the engine swap, almost there, waiting on parts right now. Doing the little things, cleanup and prep.
Of course this weekend is gonna be cold. But this is still a priority. As I thought I am not getting a lot of help, and I am learning as I go. It is similar to a domestic car, but in lots of ways not. I just hope I can remember where everything goes, when I start reassembly.

Just L and I, hanging around the house, with me working different hours, I am lucky if we get to eat together. but we make time to see each other once a day.  It is tough because this week it is 2 pm to 12:30 pm, last week, 5 am to 3:30 pm, the 2 weeks before it was 2 am to 12:30 pm.. I worked every holiday. I slept most of the rest of the time.. and of course the normal chores, shopping and meals.

Hopefully in the next couple weeks it will normalize. It has been a a eventful couple months, but once work calms down the rest shall start to calm too.

Home is coming along, I am still trying to decide on where to put my books, and am still looking for the right desk. I have my temporary desk, and it will do till I have time to invest on the rest. I have been hanging pictures and doing simple things to make the place more functional. I have taxes to process and after that I think I can start planning out the rest of the year. By that time we will have both cars running and a better handle on our day to day schedules.

There isn't much else in my life. I am sure no one notices I am not around.. I moved across the country and no one I didn't tell noticed.. Even some of those I did tell didn't ..

As always.. it is what it is, and it does not matter what I try to do, it does not work. So I am here..
Just got to keep doing what I need to, and keep getting up..
