Just a bit more done.

Cooling off always helps. It has cooled off both outside, soon to be inside, and I have as well, or am on the way to that. I might need to add a bit more water in on top of everything else though.

The fax does work, if it took a bit of reading and experimenting to do what I wanted done. I think the letters they wanted have been sent. Though they received two blank ones to start off. I put them in upside down, while juggling all of the new to me steps and potential and actual mistakes or at least unnecessary steps and button presses. I will call them tomorrow and find out if they have indeed received the letters. After tinkering with that, I also pulled down the IRS form, updated thankfully, for the tax credit. I am pretty sure, since my income is from the V.A. for service connected disability, and SS disability, my modified adjusted gross is $0.00, however I have decided to check on that and a few other things. So, that will not be filled out tonight. As well, I am supposed to include some particular paper from the closing, however, I have a manual sized grouping of papers and I have no clue at this point which one they want.

No boxes where broken down, no packing sorted, and yet that is fine. I seem to have a go-get-em' attitude that finds me trying to do, or at least scheduling, more than I can reasonably accomplish. If I can keep track of what I missed, what is coming up that is time sensitive, and some other things, I will do well. I am missing some things, but fill in where I can. I am, to a greater degree, working to get as much of the mundane periodic payments automated, trying to find a pattern in this mess from which to base a regular life upon, and hoping many of these demands will fade a bit into the background so that I might have time to focus on some of the things I actually feel a need to do, such as swimming, fixing the hen house roof, cutting some branches over power lines to one of the barns, and living a bit more of a relaxed life... At least until I can gather finances, strength, will, and whatever, for the next big project. I would guess it will be another month or two until I am on my feet enough to rest a bit.

I would be totally overwhelmed if I thought this was how it would be for the rest of my life. I would hike somewhere and stay out there. I simply cannot tolerate this level of intensity, at least at this point, for long periods of time. I do know the time will come when I can access a bit of a breath, take some serious downtime (if trying to stay active and maybe exploring the neighborhood and meeting local people). Or, really, more time for what I want to do and less time being 'stolen' by necessity.

I am learning a great deal. From how to fax, to how to construct a grill or put in a faucet. I am beginning to resist so much new and strange things coming into my life. I like knowing, I like learning, but I need a break from it from time to time. Every day, something new which leads to three other new processes, skills, or people. Too much too fast. My head is spinning. But I know, as I said, this time of demand will pass.

But darn it, I want to hike to the lake and swim, I want to hike in the mountains, I would like to set up the weights and work with them once in a while, and I want to relax a bit in my new home. Of course, it is not even set up, so that complicates that scenario even if I did force some downtime. On the good side, it is all coming together, and rather well. Perfection is for another life, but a good solid B+ will work here and now. Good guidance, a little effort, a decent bean on my block (if I do say so myself), and... I am getting there.

Grumble as I may, tired as I am, it is all good. Sleep well.
