Hiya, folks,
I don’t have much time to write tonight because it’s 9:18, and I’ll be in bed in 12 minutes, including brushing my teeth and chatting with The Biggest Cheese.
I’m a bit worn out today. Up at 5:30 (success 😊), servicize, memorizing (hymn #6 today), fixing a BMW this morning and struggling to get David enough work the rest of the day. Tomorrow isn’t looking good either, though I was able to get David a mostly full day today. Prayers and positive thoughts are still welcome. I’m guessing things are going to be a bit slower with everyone spending on Christmas here in the next little bit. We’ll see, though.
I struggled again with that Ford Fusion that I put an Alternator in that then still had the same problem after. I spent probably three more hours at it today, even 1 1/2 hours with David, and I’m still not sure what the issue is. For David, it came down to either alternator or computer. I pulled the alternator back out and had it tested, and it tested good… So… I think I’m going to put the alternator back in and tell her I’m gonna have to throw up the white flag and just not charge her.
Anyway, so I spent a good chunk of my day up there. Probably longer than 3 hours because it was I think maybe 3 or so when I got there, and I didn’t leave until dark. Then it was take a bunch of parts back and… on and on.
Good day, really. I’m not stressed much really, even with work being slow. I’m mildly concerned for David, getting him enough work, so we’re making it. Skin of our teeth each day. Mostly, I’m a little sad. I’m missing a friend and feeling a sense of loss… not having known much of what’s been going on in her life lately after being intimately aware for quite a while, and with all that’s gone on and will be going on, I’ll be knowing even less for the foreseeable.
I’m okay, though. Bring it on, right?
Whoops. Time’s up.
#1. I’m grateful that there was at least a mostly full day for David.
#2. I’m grateful that I’m in a position to have jobs like this Ford Fusion one that’s kicked my butt and cost me quite a bit of wasted time but hasn’t really hurt me at all.
#3. I’m grateful that I am sticking to my routines and my self discipline is getting stronger and stronger.
#4. I’m grateful for the hymns I have memorized and how they are keeping my mind focused on more positive things.
#5. I’m grateful for David and his help and everything. He’s just a good guy. I appreciate all he’s doing for me.
Loves and hugs, you wonderful people, you.
Lift the World.
