Itās nearly 5 am here, and I have been up for three hours. This ā ā ā ā with getting only a few hours sleep per night is already getting old. Maybe I can fall back asleep at some point, alarm will go off at 8:30. Iāll be hitting the road for a four-hour drive around 11 am or noon.

With nothing else to do, I fixed my coffee maker. You could put 12 cups of water in the coffee maker and only get 8 cups of coffee, and even that would take forever. So I took it apart to find out what was going wrong. Well there were pipe joints that were sealed with rubber rings. I replaced those to make sure the seal was good.
Bingo, I now get 12 cups of coffee after filling it with 12 cups of water. All is new again.
Repair cost, about 3 cents.

This cat roams the entire neighborhood. I often catch him in my porch, like when I took this pic. He has a home and is not feral. Iāve also gotten close to him, but not close enough to pet him.

Thatās nice to hear that your getting more shiftsā¦ itās too bad that your location is so far all the timeš¶ with expenses with motels and gas, it must be tough

Yeah, it sucks having to drive so much for that job. I need a local job.
My car gets kickass fuel economy, 37 mpg on the highway, but still itās gas I need to purchase. The downside to that car, besides having no cruise control, is how lightweight it is that leads to it being so terrible in the snow.
I hope like hell it doesnāt snow today, or Wednesday night, for that matter. Wednesday is going to suck; Iāll have to drive four hours home after working a ten-hour shift.

Yeah driving in the snow is terribleā¦ but 37 mpg sounds pretty legitā¦ far as I know maybe 20-25mpg is the most Iāve driven in
Hope you can get some sleep before you go outā¦ have a safe trip!

Gas, brakes, wear and tear, repairsā¦ my car takes synthetic so an oil change is like $70+ but only needs to be done every 10,000 miles.
I drive a Newer Corolla and havenāt had any problems with it in the 3.5 years Iāve owned it. They are in consumer reports top 10 Best Buy every year.
Iāve figured itās about .05 cents/mile to drive the car + repairs. Then fuel is about $.10 per mile. So $0.15 per mile + repairs.

What a relief it is to be able to let your hair down and just say whatever is on your mind. I have social worker who lets me say things. Do you all have anyone like that? Or, perhaps this forum, this thread, serves that function. I like being loose and free and saying whatever I feel like saying. This gives me peace of mind, but I may say things that are not exactly right.

I had at least three separate dreams last night. Very vivid aswell.
One I was working a trial in a UK bookstore.
One I was working in Saibsburys UK grocery store.
And another where I had to choose a song to sing at church from a selection and I remember my eldest bro was playing the guitar really weird for the song. It was country roads.
I have not had 3 dreams in one night since who knows when.

Its great you feel free that way. I really constantly restrict myself what to say. I donāt want anymore problems for myself as i have already. This medication i am taking makes it really difficult to keep things for myself, i feel like an idiot as i donāt have full control over my mind. The doctors and nurses i used to see think its so funny. Sometimes i think to myself why do i get angry ?
