Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah… I’ve been feeling blah for the last couple of days. Shit happens, I know, but why does it have to happen to me?
THE POSTS:
Work on the deck is going VERY SLOWLY, and I’m not happy about it.
It frickin’ rained like NOAH all weekend, making it quite impossible to get ANY work done on the deck aside from attaching the ledger board on Saturday. And if it wasn’t raining, I was waiting for the ground to dry up enough that I wouldn’t sink into mud up to my ankles…
Between that and having to work during the day, leaving very little energy and very few hours of daylight in which to work, I’m beginning to wonder if it’s going to get built at all this year…
I would like to work a few days on the late shift— we don’t really have a late shift at work as such, but the people I support do, so I can sometimes get away with working 3 pm to 11 pm— but with my week going the way it is so far, what with stinking meetings I have to attend EVERY fricking day, it isn’t going to happen this week. Perhaps next week?
On a good note, I now have two support posts in place. No “work in progress” pictures yet, since it was dark by the time I put the finishing touches on them tonight. If I remember and have the time, I’ll try to grab some quick pix before I go to work in the morning.
Every little bit of progress makes me feel good. I can hardly wait for when the entire job is complete. I hope I actually can wait, but that’s a different issue.
THE ENNUI:
I don’t know what’s up with me this week… I seem to have fallen into a funk of some kind… can’t quite explain it… and there doesn’t seem to be any reason for it… and I don’t seem to be able to talk about it to anyone (eg. parents, etc) either… maybe I just need to have some cocoon time again? Or maybe another vacation? Well, whatever it is will eventually pass, just like it has on all those other times I’ve fallen into a funk of some kind!
Maybe it’s allergies? I’ve been sniffling a bit over the last few days, but other than that I really haven’t noticed it much. It was REALLY nice going out to get the bike out of the shed this morning, the ground all wet with fresh morning dew, the air calm, and life generally quiet and rural-like. THEN I had to get on the bike, take a gruelling ride through traffic driven by ugly yuppie scum or white trash truck drivers, only to get to the office and realize I was late for a meeting! And THEN cussing to myself that I’d RATHER be home in the morning working on the deck during daylight hours. Bah!
