I'm in a full-on rage right now. The reasons are too numerous and long-storied to detail here. So let's hit the highlights:

- Sold my bike to buy a new one.

- New bike got sold before I got there.

- Found another of the EXACT SAME BIKE.

- Pressure from father-in-law to finish Wills is getting intense.

- Mom and Dad's heater dies. They are without heat for a WEEK.

- New bike fails final inspection and is taken off the market. Still no bike.

- Work is insanely busy and completely unappealing right now.

- My new job is heading in a direction I really don't want to go. But I still have to do it.

- Haven't seen any friends in a long time.

- Get to go away to a cabin for the weekend with good friends.

- Recharge.

- Come home feeling epic.

- Water main breaks.

- Minor (repairable) damage to the house.

- 2 days without water (after 3 days in a cabin with no shower).

- Crew says, "Sorry! Would have been here two days ago! Didn't know it was an emergency!"

- Work schedule gets even more insane.

- Find ANOTHER of the motorcycle I want. Can't take the time to go buy it. Too busy.

- Make sure everyone at work knows I am slammed through the week.

- Get taken off the "Priority 1" project I am working on all week, this morning, to deal with a stupid other project that is someone's pet project.

- Am still expected to hit the original deadline for the original project.

- Need software on my machine to do my job. Can only order it from Sharepoint form, which doesn't work in Mac-based web browsers. (Because: Sharepoint)

- Haven't eaten Keto in a week, due to lack of time to shop.

- Cognition is dragging from eating a shitty diet again.

- Wife is in the early stages of SAD, and is useless as support right now.

- I need to support her, so she doesn't get any deeper.

- My bedroom is getting genuinely cold now, because I haven't finished the ceiling/insulation project.

- My dog's undiagnosed itching problem is back. And her toenails are too long.

I'm fucking depleted.

Everything clears up at 2:PM tomorrow. Literally. That's when The Project needs to be in the hands of our shipping department. So there is light at the end of the tunnel, but fuck... it is very dim right now...

Not much I can say but look for the positive! See if you can notice a few positives to start an upward spiral. Stay warm and stay strong.
