a test run....

I lysol-bathed my *new* mattress and let it air dry last night. After that, I actually set the thing down and tested it, just to see if I could get used to it. Two hours later I woke up and went to bed. Falling asleep was not what I meant to do, but I would dare say it is a good sign I'll enjoy the bed.

I have way too many things that require more money than I have this month. The Car wiped me out, but I'm actually quite happy with it so far. Bills on the other hand.....

the morning after

I got the car back. She's powerful. Harmon neglected to tell me he set the tranny up to go in a hot rod it shifts at higher rmps.. It performed best on the interstate test. It takes around 9-10 seconds to get to 90 mph and coasts at 85 in overdrive. This is not your granny's crown victoria. It was also sitting for several years, so it took a bit of driving to loosen up. After driving for about an hour it was doing everything it needed to do I think I'll be quite happy with her for the time being. I gotta clean it off and out though, it is totally nasty after being sat in a field in the woods for about a year.

Paul and I did the big run last night and now we have beds to show for it. I thought they were queens. One was a queen, the other was a king. That king sized matress was a beast, I decided then and there that it was Paul's. The queen was firmer anyway and I need a firm bed.

I'm a little sore too. I didn't get to bed until after one, so there are some fatigue issues today. I'm working all weekend at Best Buy, so there will be no good time to rest up.

Robyn is sick and I felt bad that I couldn't stop and stay longer last night. I hope she follows her own good advise and rests up.

....

Alot has happened and will happen this week.

I get the Crown Vic back this today. I just had to pour and extra $300 in it due to the power steering giving out. It was leaking before I parked it, so not too much surprise there. Just a few more minor things and she should be good to go for awhile. As ususal, this project is taking more than I can afford, but at the same time, I can't afford not to have it running.

This Tuesday, we talked about running a new D&D game. I think the magic is there for a great group. I was worried about schedule conflicts, but it seems like a perfect fit for me. I hope for the best. The last time I played with the fellow who's running was the best gaming experience I've had to date.

Tonight, I'm pulling a late-nighter, I'm helping Pual do quite a few mutually-beneficial things. I hope to get a few car-related things accomplished too.

Paul and I will begin working out shortly. I've been pigging out and just making horrible eating choices. I'll wean myself back into healthy stuff soon, but I want to do everything gradually, so that it becomes natural routine.

Wow, is the weekend really over?

Alot and not much happened this weekend.

1. Got the Vic back, but the leaky steering gearbox went out, so I'm stranded yet again.I'm going to be hurting money-wise for this month. I was supposed to get tires, a muffler & inspection done on the Vic, but that will have to wait.

2. Paul dropped by to see the proposed workout area Saturday, we are both motivated to start this. I didn't get the work I started Thursday finished.

3. Robyn helped me get alot done on Sunday, but we never got finished. I ran my tail off getting the part to put the CV back together and getting it to Harmon.

4. I worked Saturday morning at BB before the store even opened. Found out I was to help do things in the store that I had never been trained for and that hadn't been done properly in about 4 months. I started, got a little bit finished, and that was all I could muster.

The weekend was over and done before I knew what hit me.
