…just another random person's thoughts & digressions.
I’m tired. I wanna be at home in bed. But I gotta work.
I really wish I could figure out something else I could do to take care of our financial needs. Working overnight sucks.
But I gotta do what I gotta do.
Hopefully all this is only temporary, and I can be home with the family again.
God, I hope so.

Just sat down at work. Feeling a bit jittery. And on the way here had a migraine come on, so part of my vision is blurred. Ugh.
I hate this. Working.
I mean, I really don’t hate working. What I hate is that I have to work here at night. It doesn’t seem like it’s really being that beneficial to us. It’s complicated our lives a bit, and seems to be just adding more stress than anything else. I think there’s been a little bit of help financially, but not quite as much as we’ve hoped. And part of what I feel comes from where I’ve been eating a decent chunk of my pay at work. I’ve been spending nearly $10 or more a day on food. So that’s fifty to sixty bucks disappearing from what I should be bringing home. And then my smoking has increased related to me trying my best to stay awake during the mornings to watch Dean.
I dunno.
I wish there was something that I could do that wouldn’t have such a terrible time at home.

Looks like I need to figure out how to buy a jack and a few parts in the morning and work on Ashlee’s truck after I get home from work.
I’m not too excited about it, but it is what it is, as they say.
Violet needs to show me how she does those time delayed text messages of hers.

I really don’t understand why I am so aggravated with what I see at work.

After I’ve installed Diarium today, I will make a diary entry every day from now on. In case I forget to make an entry, the app will remind me with a notification in the evening. In addition to photos, videos, audio recordings or other files, I can also add a location, tags or people to my diary entries. ✍
Because the app is available for Windows, Android, macOS & iOS, I can use it on all my devices and synchronize the journal with the sync button on the main page. I am already looking forward to revisiting all those memories in a few months or years. ✨

Quick note, for now;
I’ve given up on having my main desktop PC run Windows–at least in a full-time capacity. Since I’m dealing with old hardware and am set on having dual monitors, I figured it’s time to kill the headaches I’d been having with the thing being sluggish due to incompatible drivers and just play with linux. Both I and the computer seem to be much happier.
I had to work on the car again; we went for a drive earlier in the week and the passenger rear brake locked up, causing extreme heat and possibly a fire that extinguished itself. After letting the wheel cool for about fifteen minutes I slowly drove it back home–slowly being necessary as I discovered a few minutes after getting it back on the road that I had lost braking power altogether. The next day, I tore the thing apart and discovered that the wheel cylinder blew, and that the hub/bearing assembly was nearly seized. I’m not sure exactly what happened first or when as there’s a few different ways that things could have gone down. So, anyway, new hub, new cylinder, new hose (of course it snapped when I replaced the cylinder) and new shoes. Yay.
I haven’t written any of my “pen-pals” in a while because I’ve been busy tinkering with varied things, and I’m starting to feel guilty about it. I’m hoping that I can get back into the swing of that real soon.
I’ve got a decent amount of housework I want to try and accomplish today. We’ll see if that happens.
Blah.
Thanks for reading;
