fence... and sun

Well, got up too early.  Realized it was actually Saturday.  Went back to bed.  Woke again.  Drank some water, went back to bed.  Finally got up and made the coffee. Then took a hot shower and did the grocery shopping.. when I got back..I noticed the fence was fixed! 
 So I finished the one on the bench sent the bill, got paid.. quick! 
Went with L and J to Plymouth for haircuts.. just L.. then back to the bay for fish n chips! 
So it was a good day. 
I sent some Bay pictures to Iceland, had a brief text.. it is good to be received. I really miss seeing her.  
Really.  But, the contact and response means a lot.
I really didn't get a lot done today, but I was busy all day. 
I got parts in the mail..I need to set up a time to do the install..maybe Sunday.. then I have a radio install on Monday, since its a holiday... 
Maybe I can get some more work done as well. 
...
So.. today my right shoulder is really sore.. I need a back rub..
But no one to ask. 
It will work it self out..
...
This is the place for the same ole lament .
Yes, I'm still bothered.  
I am just me and see no end.. 
I'm sort of trying to get out..but it's not the same.. I have no friend network..just me. 
My old standby is not helping..the radio is only for diehards.
I have no old friends that are in my life to help.. still just me...
Family.. ha! Forget about it.. 
Moving back... May have been the death of my personal life..
At least In CO.. I had a network.. places and people that knew me.. 
I'm here where I grew up..and I know no one, and no one knows me.. 
I'm just this old guy.. that people see.. or not.
...

Ok . enough of that...
..

Trying to get out of that funk.. clear my thoughts.  

I need to think about travel and time off.  Any way to relax.. stay sane.. 
Find something for me.. 
With the house guest.  It can be a help. If I want to go off by myself.. I can.  L and J can fend for themselves. No guilt. Or we can all go somewhere.  (That says expensive).. and on me..
Not looking for that.. and can't leave J by themselves..
No $$ no transport.. .
..
So it's me or all.. 
..

Really .... I have two choices... Stay home or head off by myself..for a couple days.  If I stay home .  It's either sleep or yardwork or car maintenance...not fun or relaxing .
I need to find a place to go.
..

Looks like the cost of living increase is a thing . Maybe by July 1st.. I will be making as much as I was in Colorado when I left in 2018.....
Ouch! 
It still is a big step back, really with no benefit.. traffic has sucked due to bridge construction..and inflation sucks the profit out of the wages..taxes are too high.  
I don't have a life .  Like I did when I was in Tv.  So what have I gained?
..I think I should rethink this .  I know money isn't everything. But. When you have nothing.. money helps ..
...

Ok..
