I needed that

Today was pretty bad.
One small thing after another.
Small things, but they kept piling up.

I had a few successes at work, solved a problem for one of my cohorts who is on vacation, but each success was met with a x2 setback.

All culminating with my car, I started hearing a ticking sound that I heard months ago that ended up being a $1000 repair that I had to borrow from my brother.

I went out and had to hunt for a repair manual. By the time I found it, it was to dark, and I decided to look up what I think is the problem...hehe

A complete tear down and rebuild book.... what I think is wrong with mine.. "take to a professional mechanic"...... figures. I can fix just about any mechanical and most electrical things... a professional is recommended for the bearings....
At least I can break it down and bring in the piece that needs repair, save ungodly amounts in labor......
But it figures, the one thing that is wrong, is so difficult, that it's not in the book. They tell you how to remove the major part to take in to the mechanic, but not how to do it.

I'm jacking it up in a few hours to find out.....

I got depressed, and more... and more. Spiraling into the "life sucks, I hate it" type of mode

But Delores emailed me right when I was heading to bed.

We sent about 40 email bursts... in a pretty short period of time. I really needed that. Just to hear from her. I feel so much better now. So much better

Work out: day 2, is in a few hours, followed by vehicle repair 301... then I get to go to work..... at least now, I can face it.
She does that to me.
Charges me up when I need it the most
