Seem to still be on me, though not quite so bad. My dad who was receiving mail for me is having a bout with the problems that seem to beset all old men... At 82 he is suffering from an enlarged prostate that he's afraid the docs are going to tell him is cancer.... mostly that means that I'm having trouble receiving mail as the small town post office where he generally receives mail is only open from 9 AM to 1 PM... I work 5 (sometimes six) days a week from OH FUCK too early to after 1 PM so getting mail is a problem for me at the moment...
My computer battery starts to try to charge, but when it warms up it stops charging... I'm hoping it is a dead battery, which I have a promise of receiving a new one soon, but it will be by mail to my dad... so, even though I could probably pick up the mail, my schedule of work is interfering with that...
Ah well, I keep plugging along.

For all the kind support I've received during my times of trouble. I know that I probably could have saved myself some of this trouble if I had taken time to move before things got truly ugly. But hope springs eternal that one will manage without having to essentially move back in with one's parents. Even if in this case I am probably doing a large favor to them by being available to do various things.
Anyway, I don't know that things have turned around yet, but have hope that is so!

No this isn't about dog sex... Goodness, is sex the only thing on your mind? Oh yeah, this is supposed to be a sex stories site... Well then, today ye shall remain unsatisfied if you're reading my blog but not my work...
So one thing I maybe haven't talked about is that where I'm bundling moulding (at the Longe Woode Lumber Co [name changed to protect the <s>inno</s> err guilty] all of the moulding id is tied with a nylon twine that is flat.... using a stopper knot (supposed to be figure 8 knot...) I'm half remembering the knot from working at the Shorte Woode Molding company in the '90's where most of the bundles were done with stretch wrap but I learned to tie the stopper knot anyway for various reasons...
So relearning the knot makes me the slowest tieup person on the team, which is part of why I ended up doing the 'lift' a while ago. Once I get this knot down though that will change. Indeed it is already changing when I make the knot right and it doesn't become the great tail eating knot!!!

Vs Emergency
Vs wants....
So one of the issues I'm dealing with is that I sweated my boots to death. I was warned that getting them wet would be bad for them. The work I've been doing lately means that my feet are sweating badly enough that I can see the moisture on the outside of my boots... Needless to say my boots are coming apart. So it has become at least urgent that I replace them with a new pair... $160~ which is like 1/3 of a week's pay for me... But I didn't want them to become an emergency, like having a sole come off while at work.
So they were edging from the urgent into the emergency category in my mind.
Now for the wants... My computer (lappy) battery has apparently died. But I can still use the lappy just have to have power and can't be away from it. That is a want that can wait for a while.
Another want that I decided couldn't wait (as winter is coming) is a pair of house shoes or slippers to wear as floors and what not become colder in the morning.
Then there are the 'needs' I have been informed that I should buy wool sox for my boots to help keep my feet dry. And maybe protect my boots... So I spent $13 and change on a pair (Ouch one pair?) yes one pair of sox!
So I dipped into all the categories of spending today. The problem is that I'm having a hard time putting together a budget because I keep running into these 'urgent' issues that I treat like emergencies.
So far as I can tell the only one that came close to that category today was the boots.

Ah yes my ability to creatively spell once again showed its head. I do know Mr L'Amour's work and am a fan. But when tired and not thinking... Well creative misspelling is a symptom of a larger issue, known commonly as dyslexia. If I am very tired sometimes I can't remember a word (or name) closely enough for the spell chequer in the browser which seems to use the dictionary from my WP to make a good guess at what I intend.... Ah well, such is life!
