Replacement inverter pump

 Got a Red Triangle for the inverter pump last Friday and had to wait til Monday for shops to open. I had figured out how to replace it and was getting the car ready until I ran into some rusty stripped screw heads on trim that was keeping me from removing the headlight. Took it to Auto Express on Quitman to ask about screws and maybe the pump. Should have just got to screws tapped out but agreed to the service. Though they said they would wait until they found a pump and call me before working on it but I stopped by an hour later. The pump cost $280 and they started working on it so too late. I found a pump at oreillys for $100 and hope I’m back on the road by tomorrow. Registered for Task Rabbit and hope to start there soon hang pictures and whatnot. Would also be nice to do some kind of easy job during the week. Starting to be wary about so much driving. Should do all the maintenance stuff I can do myself soon.

Full nights sleep after 16 days

 Just got back from Buena Vista after some hiking and soaking. Cottonwood Pass is beautiful and got into Clear Creek at the hot springs. Unfortunately, my wrist is feeling worse and I’ll need to see a doctor before too long. Brain is better though. Half dose of Cymbalta is feeling more normal and spent the first night at Highlands Ranch since the 4th. Feeling more able to communicate with people and less nervous. Going to bust out 30 rides the next couple days then try to get a good weekend of work in. Good sleep indoors should help with that! If I start getting groggy, I’ll switch to eats. Have an appointment with Ken Swiney about school grant. If I got it, I might stick around fall and spring. If not, going exploring in October. 

Tapering Cymbalta

 Half dose, day 3. I feel like I have the tools to try to go med free. This is really a breakthrough time for me where I see so much opportunity.  1: I need to secure a new place soon.  2: get ready for school 3: stay on top of ui  4: make time for exercise/healthy eating 5: date more (Tamara) 6: Start being an uncle 7: teeth. Jesus… S M T W T .5 .5 .5 1.0

Too relaxed at Lakeside retreat

Waking up late and not being productive is becoming annoying after 2/4 weeks at my monthly stay hostel. I’m getting out now to pick up a hold from the library. Planning on getting more than that done after.  Update: Filed for unemployment and applied for a job!

Captain’s log. Starbase Arvada

 Wednesday. October 20th 81 days in the runabout and 20th without a contract, so I had to take shore leave to recover from general malaise. Feeling better after a couple nights sleep so planning out my day now. Would be beneficial to get some good walking in today.

Out of the micron game

 Taking a rest. My last day at work was on Friday and packed up the Prius/RV for a backpacking trip. I’m parked at the Georgetown Lodge and might head up to Guanella Pass or all the way to the San Juans. A little chilly but calm weather up high tomorrow. I really mean some quiet time in nature and unwind. Pretty stressful at work toward the end.
