Today was… not very effective.
I woke up knowing I had a whole bunch of stuff on my to-do list, but not really having any kind of a plan or direction. For whatever reason, I just seemed a bit lost in what I was doing.
When I finally got myself going even a little bit, I managed to get a filter ordered for my CNG van. I had pulled the filter out probably a couple months prior in an effort to figure out what was going on with the van,
Now, however long later, I finally ordered a filter from the company in Oklahoma City. I could have gotten the filter cheaper elsewhere, but given the free help that the kind gentleman had given me over the phone, I wanted to give them my business. That, and I figured they would order me a decent one that I was more likely to be able to trust.
After that, I spent a little while disassembling the fuel pressure regulator trying to figure out if there, by chance, was debris from the filter lodged in it that might be causing the issue.
I think I probably screwed up pretty good, though, potentially causing damage to the pressure regulator as I took it apart.
It’s like an $850 part. 😅
Of course, an online mechanic with JustAnswer was pretty confident it was a bad pressure regulator, and so was the kind gentleman at the CNG repair shop in Oklahoma City, so if I did break it, I suppose It’s not as big of a loss, as I quite possibly it was going to need to purchase another one anyway.
Still, I didn’t take the challenges with that pressure regulator very well, and it seemed like each of the things that I tried to accomplish had frustrating obstacles that slowed or inhibited my accomplishing the goals.
As I often do these days when I’m living this sort of perpetual stressed out life, when the challenges at obstacles mount one after another, I just sort of shut down.
Such was the case today. After hitting obstacle after obstacle after obstacle in what I was trying to accomplish, I emotionally pretty much just shut down, and I ended up going to bed at like 6:30 and sleeping for something like 12 or 14 hours.
😶
Granted, I hadn’t been getting much sleep lately, so I probably needed to sleep, but that’s a long time to sleep. 🙃
Maybe I can count the sleep as being productive. If so, then it was a semi-productive day. 🙃
Lift the world.
