    9 months of misery at an end

    As some of you may remember, I took a job as a painter at a local rail builder. For nine months I was trapped doing body work and gelcoat on fiberglass roomettes for the Amtrak sleeper cars. These are little rolling hotel rooms, with seats that fold down into a bunk, another pull down bunk...

    Rewarding experience.

    About a month ago, my dad, 77, went in for back surgery. Momma is pretty well gone with Alzheimer's. She can't feed herself, can't walk, has to wear adult diapers, etc. Pop's been her sole caretaker for about the last five years and pretty much wants it that way. The rest of the family helps...

    Haulin' ***

    What a totally different feeling from this time last year. Last summer I pretty much only went outside to mow the lawn. With the depression and my marriage unraveling I just stayed inside and hid. This year there hasn't been a day I haven't been outside been working in the lawn and generally...

    Med reaction.

    A side effect of the happy pill. I don't bruise anymore. Instead I look like a bed ridden old lady. Probably need more vitamin C in my diet.

    Hate to do it, but...

    There's a tree on the border with the next day neighbors that had an offending low branch that every time I mowed I have to lift branches over my head to get the lawn tractor under.
