This downsizing thing is certainly a pain in the ass.
I spend all my time getting the house ready to sell. Why is it that I am putting more time and money into the house to sell it than I did just to live in it? (Like the answer to most questions of this kind; money.)
And since the theme of the year is still downsizing; I downsized my mouth. I recently had all my teeth pulled and now wear dentures. “Why in hell would you do that?” you might ask. The answer is, “Because I lost the genetic lottery and had really bad teeth and gums.” My mouth was in bad shape and I was in constant pain for a long, long time.
It is difficult getting used to dentures, but I feel better than I have in years. The pain was a part of my life that I became used to. Now I feel like a new person and am embracing life in a new way. I am also learning to eat all over again.
I may even be a little less cranky. (and monkeys shall fly outta my butt)
The Los Alamos thing is on hold again. There are things happening up there that I just don’t understand. I have heard people blame it on Government work, but I have worked Government jobs before and have never seen anything like this. The most surprising part for me it that everyone seems to go along with the delays and no one seems to be trying to solve the problems. Everyone has just given up and trudges along like prisoners in a chain gang.
I am very fortunate in the fact that my company agrees with me in the fact that we have pulled off the job until they become ready for us. I am also fortunate in the fact that I have another project to go to while this one meanders along at a snails pace.
Since this is Sunday, I think I will go paint a bedroom and move some furniture.
Have a crabby day!
