Another day
Spent part of the day putting up the gutter...sigh. I've been meaning to do it for so damn long and god knows it's not good to let all the water drip down in the front of the house....especially when it was filled back in this fall and is settling. Good news is that it sped up the settling process...but it's been unkind to our concrete stairs...they are now slanted to the right. They were slanted to the left earlier this winter. Maybe prying them up and tilting them back straight would be a good project tommorow. Like i thought when i started..it wasn't gonna be as easy as i originally thought. For one i can't get the ladder off the fascia board enough to get the gutter under. I had to climb on the roof and do it that way...the gutter i have you screw the hangers in and then slide it on...but you have to figure out a system. That's the thing about anything you do with a house...there's a method and process to everything and no matter what you read they don't tell you about you might have to move this or that or hold something this way or have someone hold something while you screw this or that in. So i always get frustrated doing things because it never turns out as expected.
I'm also installing the paneling in the bathroom. That should have been done aeons ago but i'm just now getting around to it. Since i've been home i've not been all that great. Or maybe Kuwait changed me. I fell into the habit of staying up all night and sleeping all day. And i never got anything done for the last couple of months because i just felt all out of whack. And it's kind of hard to do a lot of stuff at night. It doesn't help that i dont' like to do things as soon as i wake up and i usually allow myself a couple of hours to wake up. What it boils down to is i've been really lazy. Really really really lazy. And recently i've been getting up during the day...at least mid-morning. And i feel way better...at least i feel like i'm part of humanity. It's nice to go get the mail and see people going about their day...whatever that may be. So i'm sick of being sick...
One thing i've done to counteract that is register for classes from early morning to midafternoon twice a week. I can't fall out of whack and be lazy if i don't give myself a reason to...and school is something i don't mess around with. I'm generally pretty responsible when it comes to school. I think that stems from not being responsible at all during high school. I won't ever do that to myself again..never. Anyway...i've registered for Algebra, Macrocomputer Essentials (or something to that effect), and Entreprenuership. I think that i'll have fun in those classes. I generally don't like math but i've warmed up to it in the last couple of years. Before i got sent to Kuwait i was starting school at the same school i'm going to and i started the same class. The instructor seemed really good and really seemed to work well with her students and explain things in a easy way to understand. I had the choice of another class but when i saw that the instructor taught that class i took that one.
Ok...done writing for now.
