Whigning here to hide it but pretend I'm talking:

Been sickish for about a week but can't telework so I keep going to the office (and staying sick). Hitting the gym still, though had an awful workout yesterday where I failed, twice, to squat 365. I was hoping for a double while sick - but instead was dizzy.

Then when we got home we found the a/c condensation pump had stopped working. Got a reference to an hvac company - which did come out pretty fast for a Sat night, and not only found hte problem quickly - but rewired the problem my idiot contractor couldn't figure out in like 20 minutes (hint, if the condensation pump stops working or the reservoir fills, each event should trigger a safety to shut the system down so you don't come home to an attic flood). It sucked, $400 more dollars gone, but the wiring did need fixing someday anyway and it didn't really eat up that much time.

For a short time I was seeing the distinct possibility of having to move back into the girl's place and terrify the cat for the trip back (he loathes/fears the carrier and car). This was the night before she leaves to go back home for family horrors. Instead we got to walk to a fun local liquor store (accidntal discovery), restaurant, and then pokemon walk and fail at getting drinks on 14th St.

I forget that my construction job could theoretically be approved by DCRA and be done in weeks. I forget that in theory a reasonable offer could cross the table and my prior construction contractor litigation could end. I forget my job might be eliminated by OGC any day. I haven't read the new executive order which might eliminate half my job.

A lot of shit is hanging in the balance, but this is normal.

It's also not all that bad. I'm still paid and less than a decade from possible retirement with penalties. I have been saving for retirement since 1995. I still have most of my general health plus the luxury of time to speed keeping it up.
