So my last few days of posts have been rather melancholy.  I hate that word, but I will use it anyways.  My sleep schedule has sucked for well over a month.  I used to have problems falling asleep, but now, I’m asleep pretty quickly.  My issue now?  I wake up between 3:00AM and 4:00AM every…

It is easy for me to admit to myself when I do a good job.  I’ll try to play it off as a humble man, downplaying the significance or quality, but secretly, I will admit to myself it is good.  I will even admit to myself and others when I have done poorly or royally hosed…

All disasters, big or small, have an impact financially.  If your car gets totaled because of a not-at-fault accident, you will not get what you think you should to replace it.  Going from a car that is almost paid off to another loan of $20,000 is a big impact.  The same amount might still come…

You ever have the feeling that you just can’t take one more added stress?  I am about to that point.  Even the small things, while they don’t seem to bother me, I know cause unseen stress.  I am so far behind on work around the house and at work, I’ll never catch up without spending…

When life is too busy to be enjoyed, is it worth living?  Of course!  Changes, however, should be made.  The other extreme is not very helpful either.  Living in the moment, and only having fun, has its consequences as well.  There is a happy medium.  Some like to work hard, play hard.  Everyone is different. …

There’s nothing like stacking a couple cords of wood to make me feel both strong and weak at the same time.  Sure, it makes me feel like I could punch an ox, but then the back starts to feel the strain since it’s been a year since I’ve done this type of work.  It is…

After getting a good nights rest, today was not such a blur.  My mind is not 100%, but it is close enough not to feel worthless.  I was able to do a few productive items today: replaced the EGR valve on the Honda and washed the Camaro.  Granted, dropping one of the bolts in the…

The last couple of days have been a blur.  I was travelling for work, and I have only had two good nights of sleep in a month.  Twelve hours of sleep in three days makes for some interesting days.  It is a amazing how much cognitive abilities are lost when sleep is held back.  Last…
