Hi, folks. I've gone downhill pretty good. I'm not really functional anymore. It's about all I can do to even do little productive things, let alone the things I need to do to move forward with all the things that need to be done right now. I'm emotionally overwhelmed. Stressed to my limits. I don't … Continue reading 2024-05-12 — Shut Down

2024-05-06 (Monday) — Alone
The last several days have been... very hard for me. Life on its own has already been overwhelming to me, for years now. I live my daily life on the ragged edge of my emotions. I'm always on the verge of breakdown... meltdown... I'm just so tired. Life tired. I don't really write about what … Continue reading 2024-05-06 (Monday) — Alone
2024-04-30 — Goodbye April
(written over the course of multiple days, starting on the 30th and ending on May 3rd) Howdy folks! There's not a whole lot to report, which I guess is kind of funny because the life upheaval is in full swing. 🙃 The going forward plans at this point are for Thomas to have a tiny … Continue reading 2024-04-30 — Goodbye April
2024-04-23 — Off the Crutches!!!
(written on the 25th) Not much to say about Sunday and Monday, so I'll just combine the three days into today's entry. We chatted with Thomas on Sunday morning about the news that we were needing to move in the next couple of months or so. It's tough for all of us right now, a … Continue reading 2024-04-23 — Off the Crutches!!!
2024-04-20 — 🪓+🦵 = 🤕
So, some good news to start the day. Jim suggested that it would be better for me to work on other hill projects instead of the garden, since I was likely going to be the only person working on other hill projects, so my time was allocated that direction. That put my first project of … Continue reading 2024-04-20 — 🪓+🦵 = 🤕
2024-04-19 (Friday) — Grateful for the Belts
I'm in a really bad way. I'm just... crumbled down to my last. It's that ever continuing up and down the downward trend of my mental health that I've mentioned so many times. Sure there are times that are higher than others, but the trend is always down. I'm just spent. Spent. 😞 So tired. … Continue reading 2024-04-19 (Friday) — Grateful for the Belts
2024-04-18 (Thursday) — Light At the End of the Ramp
Up at 5 something... I just... woke up. 🙃 Headed out to Lowe's early to try and get wood picked up for my mom's garden box, since they open really early. Unfortunately, either I'm the worst person in the world to pick wood boards, or the boards were pretty crappy because I spent probably 45 … Continue reading 2024-04-18 (Thursday) — Light At the End of the Ramp
2024-04-17 — Just One Car?
Well that was unexpected. 🙃 You know how things have been oddly slow lately? Well, I only fixed one car today. 😶 Not because I was sick. Not because it was bad weather. Not because I screwed something up. I just... had three cars on the schedule, which is about four fewer than I normally … Continue reading 2024-04-17 — Just One Car?
2024-04-16 (Tuesday) — La Lista De Quehaceres
It was another to-do list day, and I didn't manage to make some progress on some things, so that was good. I filled up the diesel can with fuel, put of my car tools in my CNG van (So I could disassemble the picnic table if needed when I went to pick it up), got … Continue reading 2024-04-16 (Tuesday) — La Lista De Quehaceres
2024-04-15 — 😶
(written on the 16th) I was amazingly and quite pleasantly surprised with how well today went on just about every single front. 🥳🎉🎊💪 Before going out to work, reinstalled the battery that I had charged up for my BMW Z4. I started the Volkswagen to make sure it's battery was still decent. And I started … Continue reading 2024-04-15 — 😶
