Dean is still out sick; he spiked a temp during the middle of the day, yesterday.

I’m kind of at a loss as to what to say about anything right now.

I am going in at 10a today, due to Dean’s illness; Joel moved my times back an hour to allow for Ashlee to get her work done and come home. It just kind of sucks, because I’m working until 7, instead of having my day shortened by an hour. But, meh, I get it, and I would probably do the same. Similarly, my schedule got changed for next week, as Joel really wants Ashlee to help cover Saturday; so, now I’m off Sunday, but I have to work Friday. Again, that sucks, because I’m not losing a work-day or gaining a day off. But, again, I understand it, and would likely do the same.

The dog is so annoying. Most dogs are annoying. The dog that is wandering about outside, letting it’s scent waft through the air of Sophie’s territory, thus threaten her property and causing her to bark her blasted head off is most definitely annoying.

I’m going to get a damned bark collar.

Not a whole bunch of time left for me to write anything this morning, as per usual. I’ve spent my “free” time adding my quick Diarium blurbs into the blog; there really weren’t that many–it’s just kind of time consuming. At least, it’s time consuming the way I do it, which is probably stupid and backwards.

I dunno. I guess I really don’t have much else to say, given the time. Sucks. I feel like there’s more that I want to say.

Oh, well.

๐ŸŒ– Waning gibbous
I have zero interest in going to work. As usual. I guess.
Ashlee is on her way home from a night with her sisters. I guess I’m happy for her. I dunno. Mixed feelings.
The kids were up before they were supposed to be. Guess I’m hiding remotes again.
I’m feeling kinda useless.
Did a bit of work yesterday, but feel like it was wasted, as nothing came of it. The Sebring is dead, and is about to be sold for scrap; that’s the wasted work I did. Finally tore into the bottom and measured things; numbers are all over the place, so she’d need too much work and money out of us. Her body ain’t in the greatest condition anymore to justify that work, either. Maybe she’ll find life as parts for someone else, but I doubt it.
My back hurts.
I’m kinda glad I did the work I did on that car. Now I can stop thinking about it, and not have it on that list of crap I need to do. Instead, I’m probably gonna start thinking about my Durango and what I can try next on getting it repaired. I can’t remember where I was on it, other than needing another hundred bucks worth of transmission fluid.
Honestly, I think I should probably give up on that thing, too. I dunno. Maybe I’ll surprise myself and figure out what its problem is. That’d be nice, because I’m growing more concerned about driving the pickup as much as I am.
