stress? what stress?

another day in the life--- up early to run on the trail and be back in time to drop off the car in lorton to get then windshield fixed while gail had her car towed to the accura dealer for what needed to be done - the run went ok despite the heat and humidity, much worse than yesterday. throw in some hills and yesterday's track work and it wasn't a fresh legs day but it was nice along the river and several other people were also out early. down and back south and then out and back north keeping an eye out for the tow truck. and then off to the windshield place.

dropped the car off and took a taxi to the driving range. figured i could try and relax a little by practicing and maybe get 9 holes in, which is what i did. went ok and got to see mary and spend some time with her there before gail came and picked me up as her car was finished first. had played really so-so and not up to my usual level but it was nice to play again and get use to hitting off of grass again. did some things well and i still think it is getting better. time will tell. just didn't feel comfortable as it usually does and i still have issues as they say. hit about 180 balls and chipped and putted for awhile. was a captive audience as the car would not be ready until late.

so back home and ran some errands and worked on the garden, did laundry and cleaned out some of the "stuff'. goal is to get rid of lots of stuff. will keep at it tomorrow as the a/c and heating unit all get placed as well as getting new pipes. today was only $900 and tomorrow will be almost $8k. then friday the flood and mold people will be back. just having too much fun for words. then the emissions inspections. just the day to day stuff. all good.

did order new orthotics today. mine are so shot. gotta go. people coming at 8 and i want to get to the track before that. a day at home while the house gets worked on and gail goes to school. a new year begins.

the day to day small time drama of fix the house will continue for awhile and the chore of finding funding to fix it all will go on also. we still have the unusable bathroom that has fallen aside while the the other stuff goes on. and car inspections and whatever else, but it will get dealt with. time to figure out the next part of life as well. what good is an air-conditioned house if it is the wrong house in the wrong state in the wrong country?
