Not exactly full of pep and vinegar.

Perhaps soda water and a minor pip? The day is going along. I am still awake and will probably be able to stay up until 22:00. I think I am going to target that as my bedtime. That would make a 6:00 wake up more probable. From speaking with my chiropractor, D.C., and some others of you, I think I might try something else. I have heard from a number of sources about some sleep remedies. Some type of tea and... something else. Bah, I never can pull something up after having just remembered them two minutes ago. Anyway, while in town today, I will stop by a place that might carry these things. As well, trying to get some physical work in, eating a bit more rightly, and avoiding caffeine after 17:00. And I should find that book and toss in a plan to read for an hour before bed.

I did call the V.A. regarding the paperwork I am seeking. A request of information would do me no good. I spent a little time working the call, however, and remained pleasant. The woman on the other end was pleasant as well. I described that I need proof of disability to obtain state tax relief, having moved from Iowa, that I needed my vocational file transferred, and that the number I had (which was the one she was attempting to offer me) had been called 15 times without even making it to being put on hold waiting for someone to answer. So, she suggested I drive to Salt Lake City, if I could, and do this in person. Done... or will be.

I also checked my finances. I think I can make it but it will be a very tight month. That I is all I am saying. I will have to watch every single nickle. Groceries and some gas is all I will be able to do. No extras, from water storage to buckets, will make it out of my finances. I have spent a lot of money on tools, supplies, construction materials, and the rest. I simply have to back off for a month or three. I would like to say it was all worth it, and it is. But more, most of it is necessary. That is simply the way it goes. I do not regret the expenditures if I do hate being this financially tight.

A trip to town, as cat litter is vital and I only have enough for another change or two. As well, I would like to at least price the tea and that other stuff. Then a bit of work in the garage. Perhaps more math studies tonight after that. And finally, I might just be able to find that book. I have been itching to dig into it. It seems that when I had it at hand, I was too busy. Now that I have the time and energy, I cannot find the book. All in all though, things are looking up. Oh, one more business call... if I can find the number.

Have a good day.
