Debbie has a Doctors appointment this afternoon and I took the day off to take her. Oh it is not that she cannot drive or that this is really a worry some visit as this is with her Primary Care Physician. It is that we are caught with my Jeep being down and it is raining and I really care not for riding my Harley in the rain.
As is my luck, my Jeep failed its annual emissions test. Used to happen all the time till about 3 years ago when we sank a fortune into the old girl, she passed for three years running, but my stretch of good luck expired on 9/30/14.
I had considered putting her top and doors on, cleaning her up and selling her as in the last three years we have only put on about 2500 miles, we only use her as a back up or to go play in snow.
I have had Ol’ Blue as I call her, for over 10 years and do not want to give up on her now. She is a ‘92 YJ Jeep with a six banger and a few little options. I would say the day she came off the assembly line she was a sight to see. Now she looks like a good hardworking woods Jeep. I have only run a Bikini Top on her for the last 3 years. She still runs like a champ and purrs like a kitten. Yeah, I love my old Jeep.
Which has lead to my decision.
I am putting the hardtop and doors back on, cleaning her up inside and out, change the oil and parking her on blocks for the next 3 years.
In this State an antique vehicle does not have to go thru the anal emissions test!
Only two counties in this State do emissions testing and I find it extremely unfair and discriminatory based on social ecomonic classing. It has been fought and argued over, but to no avail.
So all that to explain that I am off from work today.
I slept late, very, very late. Last night I took 2mg. of Lorazepam as I needed that deep coma like sleep. My lower back, right hip, knee and foot have been killing me. Something went wrong with the toe next to the little toe. It felt inflamed and infected. I saw nothing wrong and had Debbie work on it. She said the nail was growing into the flesh so she carefully cut it out. The toe feels much better and the limp is gone due to the pain of that toe and slowly the rest of me is feeling better. I have had to use a great deal of Hydrocodone and Cyclobenzaprine to deal with the pain and muscle spasms. So finding out I would have to be off today was of a great relief.
I am taking my Zoloft at night now, per the Healthcare Provider. Seems to have helped a bit at work but I still have the “I Don’t Give A Damnitis”. At work I tend to laugh off the dumbass (in reality) shit my Boss says. During an Inspection I could care less. As long as I generate numbers and paper that is all that matters. This dumb fuck I work for cannot even figure out the database we use. He sees a number generated by the database, as each new site gets assigned the next number so it continues counting ever higher. But when a site is removed it does not go back and fill in so the actual REAL count is on the front page of our data base. The other day he was telling how he told a meeting that we have over 1400 sites we inspect! I laughed my ass off in silence as it clearly shows on the front page we have 923 sites and of those there are roughly 150 we do not do by his word. It is really hard to have a commintment to a job that is just so much bullshit.
At least I am not wringing my hands and worrying all the time or trying to do this as a real job. I am beginning to accept it is just so much bullshit. The anxiety is gone for the most part as well.
