I'm having a better day today. Yesterday was Linda's birthday. Jan.18th and Dec. 16th (Matt's birthday) are always days of feeling depressed, and wishing i could go back and do a lot of things differently. And wondering ' why not me instead of them!' I don't pretend to second-guess the Lord, but I can't understand why he chose to take them and leave me alive. I'm sure one day it will become clear why!
On top of that, I ran out of "puppy food" so I hopped in the pickup and headed to Wal Mart. En route I ran over something that cut into a tire. By the time I realized it wasn't just Ice dropping off, the tire was TOTALLY shredded. I had intended to replace the tires - but not quite yet! No more procrastinating - I WILL replace that tire!
Today has been much better, I went to Burlington (in the car) without incident! I picked up a 'decent' jack now tomorrow I have every intention of getting the pickup 'mobile'. The weather is even supposed to be a little more conducive to working outside.
I could have used that old HEE HAW song to describe yesterday, "Gloom, Despair, and Agony on me - Deep Dark Depression, Excessive Misery . . ."
About Me
- Charlie
- I've been a sprint car fan for over 50 years - dating back to when my father used to refer to them as the "big" cars. My late wife used to refer to herself as a "Saturday Night widow" during racing season because she didn't like racing. I was married to my wife, Linda, for 32 years until her death in 2006. We had three kids, but lost our youngest in 2003. I'm very proud of my two living children and my grandson, Caleb.
