One objective is 99% completed — the rewiring of the garage and the new garage door opener has been installed.

I’ve got to be able to get the car in the garage to reach the full goal.
I just want Jason to be able to put the car in the garage. It’s normal for a car to go into a garage. It’ll protect the rental (leased) car from falling branches and potentially destructive neighbors.

I guess all of this isn’t essential, but after I paid out $500 last year to have the car repaired from a branch that fell during a storm, I got a bug up my butt not to do that again. If I’m going to spend out that type of money, I want a perminant solultion and this is the best I got after checking into other options.

But, there’s a lot of effort and sacrifice that’s not seen.

To save money, I severly limited myself doing fun things – like trips to Nashville and Greenwood.
I didn’t eat out and went for months without – without everything that I wanted. I’m just really fortunate that I’m in a position with my family that the needs are taken care of.

The ability to afford this improvement is thanks to them — and my self-denying nature.

I’m doubly fortunate that none of this was charged.
Well, if I had to put anything on a credit card, I wouldn’t have done it.

Anyway… yay. It’s done.

As for the painting, Jason has primarily talked me out of that. So far.
We’ve done all but. I’ve got paint chips and we talked about colors. I found a can of stuff that could, hopefully, patch the hole in the back room that’s been created by a crumbling wall. I’m guessing it’s from moisture. Just got to do it now.

But, I guess waiting for a couple of months for some paychecks to come in and the next big bill – car insurance – is due in a couple of months. A little at a time, I guess.

My brain is screaming for everything to be done now as I’ve waited for years and years.

I need to be happy with my garage victory.

So, where do I go from here?

Class starts tomorrow. I guess that’s something.
The bike is pumped up and I’ll resume going to the gym and getting out when I feel that it doesn’t interfer with anything Jason may want to do. I can’t just go out and do what I want when I want.

Relationships. Really.

Not running off and scrimping on the money is part of relationships. The half way thing. Yep. I’m in one. =)

I just don’t want to fall into the physical stagnation and mental malaise that I lived in the last time I was here.
Sleeping fourteen to sixteen hours on most days and and an all but umovable mental block.

I’ll just have to see. Keep fighting.
