Moment for me

I heart my fitness but I'm always tired and my pants don't always fit. I do miss these abs, but not enough to not lift and eat. I have cut back candy, restaurants, and booze.

Worked today and to my surprise the office was mostly empty. I spent most of the day working on my due-in-a-month accomplishment report. It turns out while I thought it was slow, as the numbers are computed I had another banner year - cost avoidance looking like a mil and a half (understand those numbers are honest fiction). How fiction? For instance the guy who claimed 2.7 mil damages but at best might get 50k...I get credit for those sorts of things
(come to think of it I didn't count that 2.5 million - might want to note that but still not count it)

A tall black man looks like he's dying outside - he old enough to be sporting a serious bald spot, and is practically dragging his shirt behind him from his 100 def F run...I feel like that's testament that it's hotter than Kenya outside (hey, he's fucking tall and lanky man)!

I'm positively wet about work though. I have most of my work done and nothing major to take place in the next 2 weeks. I'm 100% caught up - oh this is good. I'm also getting credit right and left. It's the end of the fiscal year and I'm getting wins and confirmed wins raining down on me as if I had done something recently. I have a ton of fun counting my wins - it's like counting your stock gains.

So work fun - yay!

Although I found out a coworker of mine only works because her mother needs advanced care in a home - she retired, but has to work now due to just paying her mom's medical bill. 40 hours a week plus commuting, just to pay medical bills.

It also feels good after a very social weekend, social plans for this week, and today I just have off - no gym, no friends unless someone last minute happy hours me, just some stupid alone time without being so alone I feel the sads.

(no subject)

Not so much going on - I've paid 3/4 of the payments, though I could argue I've paid sooner than planned as this was supposed to be a post-framing payment...but the basement is still floorless. I swapped some emails with Jordan this weekend, he admitted he may have been a tad optimistic about the schedule. I have wires, coax and ethernet too, but still no fixtures or drywall.

He thinks he's getting me a list of change orders soon.

CO insulation floors 2-3 $1,340.00
Spray foam (1") F/B $900.00
Exterior doors $5,000.00 ???
hvac basement $10,000.00 ???
Floors mat (possible more labor) $1,722.00
Appliances main floor
Appliances basement
Possible pavers driveway? Bid pending

I don't have a clear idea of when I might move in - he says once drywall goes up it's super fast. Ok, but how long for the floors, fixtures, then silly paint? Then what about running water, a/c, and anything that has to do with the basement?

We have all the permits now, but need a final inspection before "close in" (the drywall).

I have all these things I actually have to do some day, like make that collage of "before" pictures, get furniture, rent places out, just...all the little things that need doing.

However, I do have a fuckton of annual leave, more than a week a month, of use or lose. Plus the niceness of not having to move in 100 deg heat?
