Thing 1: Libbi is also a smoker. Next...
Thing 2: The house painters kind of suck. There are more than a few thin spots, where the old white paint can be seen through the new. They also didn't paint the underside of the siding, so when I run my fingers underneath, I get chalky white paint on them. They also missed a repair around the far side of the house, painted over a cocoon that was near my water shut-off (nice big white spot in the middle of the panel once I removed it), painted over caulk that they inadvertently got on the paneling, and managed to paint over some weeds that were leaning against the house, making them stick to it (and also leaving a couple of white spots). I'm less than impressed. I'll have to point all this out when they come back to finish this week.
Thing 3: WJC. He almost left the company a week or two ago. Let me back up a bit... He and his wife have been trying to conceive for a while now, and a few weeks ago, he found out that she was pregnant. This was the impetus for the work issues - apparently, one of our outsource companies has been courting him for a while, and they made him a great offer. He was very close to just accepting it & leaving, but decided to see if our company would match their offer. After a week or so, he finally got a counter-offer, and after debating it, decided to stay. I was quite relieved, to say the least. It does bring up something I need to consider though - what am I going to do going forward? It's unlikely I'll stay here for the next 20-30 years, so, what's my plan? I'm trying to come up with a side business that I could do from home (supplemental income at 1st, hopefully growing to primary income). I have a few ideas, but they'll each likely require a bit too much startup capital. I'll keep working on it though.
Thing 4: GRJ is having a bunch of health issues. Apparently non-functioning thyroid is the current question; she's gone through some testing, but hasn't heard back yet. She's also having another issue, and will be having a biopsy & ultrasound scheduled to see if it's maybe cancer or (hopefully) something less serious. I'm really tired of things not going her way. She's had such a hard life, had to fight for everything she is & has, it's about time for things go right at this point. She's going to have to be off work for a couple weeks; she's been paycheck to paycheck for years now, so I'm a bit concerned about her paying bills. She did tell me she's got rent covered for this month, but... Anyway, I'm going to try to call her this week sometime if we can find mutual free time. When she texted me this morning, she actually said she misses me - I think she's scared of all these health issues, because she doesn't usually say things like that.
Thing 5: Don't know if it's allergies, or if I got a sinus infection, but I'm hella stuffed up. It's so bad that not only are my ears plugging up, but my soft palette has a quite painful bulge in it, yet I can still breath through my nose!? Dunno, but anyway, I managed to get through my workout last night & felt pretty good, but today I'm not up for it. It's been going well overall though. I'm going to push today's program out until tomorrow, then move Thurs to Fri, should get me back on track. I think my back is doing a little better as well, so that's good.
Thing 6: I have a vacation day scheduled for this Friday, and we're off for the 4th, so it's another 4-day weekend for me. Will have to figure out something to do. Still need a few parts before I can work on the car, so maybe I'll target some household stuff instead. Would like to road trip, but a) not sure I'll be better by then, b)where the fuck would I go? *shrugs* Whatever - I'll figure something out, I'm sure...
