Lots of things going on (finally, right!? lol)
1) Paused lifting is going well. Started my supplements again, and have been feeling pretty good. My numbers are coming back nicely (abeit a bit slower than I'd prefer, but...) no major back/neck issues, due to item #2...
2) Last week @ my chiro adjustment, something went amazingly right - when he made one particular adjustment, there was a 'pop' (as usual), but then there was what he called an 'aftershock; something moved big-time, and I could tell right away that it was a major improvement. I've been trying to avoid saying anything for fear of jinxing it, but I think the biggest problem area I've had for the last several decades has been corrected! I can stand up straight, my ribs are no longer constantly out of place, my sternum is actually where it's supposed to be... hell, I haven't even needed to crack my lower back since then, and my hips are doing great too. I didn't even hurt like I normally do after squats & deads! The one problem I'm having with it now, though, is that all of my ribs, and my upper thoracic & cervical spine are sore from having to 'find a new home' of sorts. They're no longer being forced into those old positions, and the 'correct' ones aren't natural yet, so I've been a bit achey. I think another week or two & things will be better, but regardless... YaY! lol
3) I finally ordered a new gas tank & sending unit for the Dodge, and it may get here by the end of the week. I'm starting to pull everything together, and I'm getting a bit excited for it. I have to chase a couple of threads on the torque converter before I can start putting the engine/trans together, but I think I can have that done on Friday. If all goes well, I may even be able to get the engine installed, although I still won't have the trans crossmember I need to actually attach the rear mount. Still, if I get the engine set, I can install the radiator & hoses, fill it up with coolant, install the carb, coil, starter, pulleys & belts, etc. & *maybe* get it to fire up! I may wait until next weekend for that though, because I think I want WJC there, as he knows his car shit better than I do & it'd be good to have someone else looking things over.
4) I couldn't decide which color I want for the house, but the guy said he could put them up on the garage for me if I picked a couple. Unfortunately, i couldn't narrow it down that much, so I told him I'd pay for the extra if he'd put up four of them for me. It's really only two color palattes, but I couldn't pick between the lighter & darker grey of each. I don't want the place too dark because it won't sell as easy, but I don't want it oo light because it'll just look like a faded white & that would be shitty. Anyway, he said he should be able to do it Thurs or Fri. I'm looking forward to getting this done! He said they'd be doing it the week of the 6th, but I'm still not sure which day - I need to give my neighbor notice, because they need to access her yard to get to the one side of my garage.
5) Now that I'm getting the house painted, I need to have a few other things quoted too; bathtub reglazing, driveway resurfacing (probably go with crushed limestone - it's a gravel drive), and new fencing (depending on the cost. I think those three things (oh! and a bit of front-yard landscaping) will make the house externally ready to sell. My guess is that I'll have to wait one more year to sell, but I'm still going to try to get the inside done this summer too. It's all going to cost a bit of money, but I figure, I've been house-pymt-free for 5 years now - if I'd been living at my old place, I'd have been paying $1k/mo, which is $12k/yr (obvs!) so it's pretty easy to justify spending $5-6k on opdates like the above. I don't think it'll cost much more than $6k (including the house painting) unless the fencing is outrageous, in which case, I may just do it myself. i guess we'll see.
6) Nothing on the dating front. I haven't felt I had the time to bother with it, which is both good & bad - good, because I don't have time to dwell on it, bad because there's no way I'll meet anyone if I don't put some effort in, which requires going out to do things, which of course, I can't do if I'm working on all of this shit around the house...
