Found a couple nights in the shop recently and its tough to get over the funk. One of those nights I just turned around and went back in the house and went to bed. Lately I've latched onto and realized how much internalizing and compression of stress has been going on which translates into lethargy and not wanting to even be in the shop. I fired up the wood stove, and kept walking around lookin' at stuff that needed to be done, piles here and there, trays of misc bolts nuts, etc from other projects...I forced myself to clean up these little bin piles, screw driver bits, springs, etc. and before you know it four hours went by, I found my groove, fixed a couple things and it felt great.
Thanks again for all of the encouragement and good advice. A couple more nights out there and I'll actually have some room to move and work.
Tonight's our first annual groundhog day party--having some family over, got some sweet vermouth and lemons...Love the movie with Bill Murray, probably seen it over 100 times. My dad is clear to drive as of yesterday and for a change is going to make his way over with my brother. Mom's doing well in therapy. For now, life seems pretty harmonious. I just need to decompress all of the pent up months of stress, apologize to my family a lot for my poor attitude and misplaced anger and frustration.
cheers
