Better day

Today was a better day for me. Though I will admit I did not work on the car. Sometimes you wind up with a better day by attempting less because there are fewer chances of failure or mistake.

Talked with my supervisor this morning and she calmed my fears about the negative experience on Friday.

Not so great was the knowledge of the trial for my brother's murderer beginning today. It has weighed on my heart knowing my nephews must testify, reliving the experience. There is nothing which will help that pain for them.  Keep focusing on other things to keep my mind off of that but it's always there. I really hope the trial is short, to minimize the damage. Asshole could have just pleaded guilty but no way he would spare anyone else the pain. I really hope he is never free to walk the streets again in his life.

Texted the ex this evening to check on daughter. Ex says there have been no problems since I dropped her off. So, guess the medication helped. Really happy to hear that. 

Received the new parts for the e-cigarette today. They work much better than the old parts. Found out there are batteries which provide a stronger output, also. In all cases, results in more vapor. Probably order one of those batteries in the future. Have other concerns to think about before that now. 

Something big about adjusting to e-cigarettes for me. Regular cigarettes calm my nerves but wake my body up. (Not going into the medical explanation.) Electronic cigarettes calm my nerves without the other aspect being included. Therefore, they are extremely sedating to me. That's something I have to get used to if I'm going to quit smoking. 

Okay, skipped working on the car today. Have to make up for it the rest of the week. By Friday, a deep cold front is supposed to blow in and not much hope for warm weather after that until spring. Have to at least get the cylinder heads and intake manifold back in place before then. (Which includes lifters and push rods.) Should be able to do it.
