I've been doing a lot of looking around online at houses for sale. I found several houses that are somewhat interesting, and although I'm not ready to view/buy, it's motivated me a bit to get some things done around the house (upstairs at least). I got the trim around the door installed in the kichen, just have to fill the nail holes & paint it, then I can install the bi-fold door leading from the kitchen to the rear door. I also cut some of the baseboard trim (finally) and will be cutting the rest sometime within the next week or so. I'll paint it, the window trim, and the door trim at the same time, as it's all going to be semi-gloss white.
I've also been looking for an engine for my old Dodge, without much luck. There's been one ad that's been on cra1gsl1st for a few months, no price, not much detail, and I kind of dismissed it for that reason, and because I don't really have a place to store an engine right now, and no way to get it in the car as another option. I talked to a couple guys at work though, and one of them has some garage space & he said I could store it there for a couplefew months until I get a new place. Once he said that, I decided to text the guy in the ad to see if he still had it (as the last post was back in the beginning of February).He did still have it, and his price was more than reasonable (not that I told *him* that!), so I'm going to look at (buy?) it this Saturday. The place is over an hour away, but my coworker lives right near it, and his dad has a truck so he's going to come with me to pick it up & bring it back up here. (Now that I think of it, I might have to rent/buy an engine hoist too, to get it off the truck.)
So the cool thing about this thing is it should be a drop-in fit for my car. It's a 1964 Chrysler 413ci with the push-button transmission (which mine has as well, and I really wanted to keep!). It's still in the car, and the guy says it turns over but doesn't run. It's possible, according to my coworker, that we might even be able to get it running (once it's in the car) without doing a full rebuild on it, which would be awesome! I still want to get it rebuilt eventually, along with the trans, but I'm just excited to finally find something that will work! I've had a hard time finding anything for it.
So, with both the house & the car, I've made a little step forward - I feel pretty good about that. There's always a trade-off though, isn't there? I'm still having back issues, and I'm seriously considering taking the whole week off from weightlifting. I still plan on running every morning, but I'm hoping that the time off will help things get back in line. Still having the ache/tingly feeling down the outside of my left arm (sometimes down to my finger, most just to my elbow though) and still having the tingle down my left jawline, along with really bad tension headaches. The shit even wakes me up at night sometimes, even with taking 800mg ibuprofen.
I don't know what I'd ever do if *everything* in my life were going right/well - but it probably doesn't matter because the universe won't allow it! heh...
