1 year

Well, it has been one year since I moved.
Tomorrow will be 1 year at the new job.
Wednesday will be 6 months in the new house. Next week will be one year with the new car, I have put 40,000+ miles on it. Mostly back and forth to and from work. It needs tires and a state inspection sticker for May.

I have to replace the thermostat again in the old car. The one i put in 2 months ago is bad. It will be a few hours work and a $45 part.

I finished my bookshelf. Emptied all my hard cover books into it..i seem to be missing a few... and i need to find a home for the 6 boxes of paperbacks..probably put them in the basement.

Work is slowly getting busy. I had to work 7 days in a row. Ending on a late shift on Sunday. Which got extended due to an issue that had to be resolved. I didnt get home till 2:30a.
Well i get the next 2 days off.. Mon and Tues.

L is waiting on a call back for a job.
We are waiting on our govt.documents.
We both need to see a dentist and find local doctors.

Life goes on.

I found out a classmate, co-worker, is back in town, and a local town manager.
I need to look him up. See if he has any openings. Or if he may in the future.
(For when the current job decides i am done).

I have a few repairs at home. I just finished another, put it in the mail today.
Ordered parts for a couple of the others.
I just have to find time to work on them when i am awake enough..

The last week..i am so sore and ache all over. I am bruised. And stiff.. i need these 2 days to recoup.
It is justified..i did pull/push four 4000lb pieces of equipment all around our building usually with no help. On a pallet jack..

I need to make an appt with a chiropractor.

Sleep..would be nice too..
Its just a big ... empty.. bed.

So..pay the bills..buy what i need.
Do my best at work.

Get up and drive to work each day..drive
home..cook dinner.. clean and sleep.

Repeat.

Anyone know any bridge repairmen?

Travel plan canceled

The trip i was hoping to go on, has to be canceled. Work will demand my presence that week. I could go the day before the event..but i need 2 days minimum to travel to the location.. so not this year..

As for a short trip.. we could do that.. i want to try that..once the weather gets better and stable... Just a weekend or 3 days.
Should be fun.

Then later this year, maybe a family visit trip..
If i still have a job.. who knows what will happen after i finish what i was hired for.

I am  coming up on 1 year at work. Got my cost of living raise..but i am sure that is all. It is adequate. The new company is being formed..changes are coming.

I have been finishing my shelf. I hope to install it tomorrow. I have an appointment in town at noon..then maybe go back and move the shelf and load it with the books.. getting rid of the boxes in my dining room.

I have been told to cut back on my overtime and to change my morning start time.. to an hour later..which means my day ends later..and the drive home will be longer. Minor adjustments.  But all in a days work.

I am hoping to get the work cleanup done in time to receive the new equipment. .. with out having to use overtime.
The vendor that i hoped would purchase and pickup the decommissioned equipment..declined. so I am going to either move and store it or drain and scrap it.
I did prove on Friday that i can move the bigger pieces.. by myself..so with help it should not be an issue..

The rest is very much the same.. all the heavy work i have been doing has left me sore top to bottom for the last few weeks. Im not sleeping well..and driving has been challenging late in the day.. just to stay awake.. gasoline is up.. so i may start taking the older car to.work..better on gas.. we will see how.the traffic is.

I am getting tired.. time to go to sleep..my alarm went off at 4:20a this morning.. i answered a text and went back to bed.. then up at 7..so it has been a long day..

Try again..

Im a bit more awake tonight. Lets see if i can finish a post ...

I do not remember what i was ranting about.. but it is probably the same as i have been thinking .. just keeping busy to not feel so lonely.

Missing someone to talk to. Missing someone to share my time with.
Work and chores keep me occupied.. and the weather is turning nicer so maybe i can get out of the house a bit more.
Work is getting busy as we approach the next phase.. been working hard..lots of physical labor. All in prep for new equipment.
I have a lot to get done in the next few weeks.

So not a lot of time for me to think just about me.
That usually only happens when im commuting..or late at night when i should be sleeping..

Then..after this phase of work..a month of install..and maybe we can road trip..

Got to plan it..
Got to do it..

April 2018

ok.. i have started the new month.
i have been good.. just work and home.. drives with L.. work on projects at home..

i am alone.. most of the time. Everything i need to get done is on me.
i just read some of my earlier posts, and really nothing has changed.
I am still alone.. A is totally ghosted.. zero contact.. I am sure she doesn’t even know I have sold everything and moved away. Coming up on a year..

I have my home. I have my car fixed. Hell, i got a raise this week.. small percentage but not bad.
 I have been building a bookshelf, so I can empty the remaining boxes.
I have found a couple travel destinations to shoot for this year.
I have ordered city gas, to be cheaper than Propane.

I dosed off.
It didn’t save all i wrote..

Oh well.. Time for sleep..
