    up early as sleep hates me. got most of the morning chores done & animals taken care.

    wife called early as well ....... yeah more of the same. not good with a side dose of really not good & a good helping of no end in sight to anything except our marriage. now she wants a non divorce divorce.
    she wants to live in the same house in separate rooms.... well we got plenty of rooms so thats not an issue & her mother will be here as moderator/mediator/referee. That seems to be the way my now bleak golden years are looking.

    we decided together that we will move the house over to my name only so that she can come/go/be anytime she wants & not have to be "tied" to me/us/anything. told her thats fine & after we complete that part we will see where we are at & decide the next step if need be.

    i still hold out that old romantic notion that the meds will kick in & she'll go back to who she was. The doctors have told me this is highly unlikely & that this will always be a thing moving forward.
    her Mom cant stay here forever. she has her own life to live. but for sure this is gonna be a long drawn out clusterfuk. NOT how any of us thought 2025 was gonna go.

    did get some great videos on bipolar break ups, relationships & coping mechs though. There is a lot of help out there once you have people point you the right direction. Everything ive watched & read so far though says my wife has the type of thing going on that the current relationship w/me is just not capable of surviving. total bummer, heartbreaker & soul crusher.

    good news? my Bullydogs still love me.

    Well, things got more interesting in this 3.5 ring shit show of a company. A fabrication contractor managed to set part of the roof on fire. We've been outside for an hour, it looks like we're going to be here a while.

    I tried to upload a pic, it didn't want to load. I'll update later on.

    Happy happy, joy joy

    Holy Shit Sticks, Batman! I see Roofs on fire and a marriage deteriorating due to illness, all on the same page. Not what I would ever want to see!

    On a slightly more positive note, I will share that I have an initial interview on Friday with the HR recruiter for a position I applied for last week. Been down this road so many times now, I expect absolutely nothing, but we shall see.

    Good Morning to all.

    Thanks you all, for the continual support. It may take a week or more before I learn if I will get to move on to interviewing with the hiring Manager, or another dead end, but I will let you all know. Especially if things work out well :)

    We got sent home about 30 minutes ago. We got escorted into the building to go to the offices to grab any personal affects. My throat is sore from breathing the air for 10 minutes, the haze and stench reminds me of when the 'magic smoke' gets let out of an electronic device.

    I seriously doubt that I will get the all-clear to return tomorrow, the stench won't be cleared by then. I got wind of a report that the firefighters found 50 gallon barrels of unlabeled chemical waste along with the new knowledge that the contractor didn't pull any permits for the work and the county inspector was calling in back-up to start investigating all of the un-permitted equipment and improper use of a zoned/ designated " light manufacturing" facility.

    Best of luck to you in the interview.

    There were already jokes being made about that... the old owner got squeezed out after selling 80% to the investment group. Maybe they saw the reality that the only to fix that mess would be to burn it down and start over. It's going to suck the most for the shop workers, 85% of them are piece rate workers.

    I'm going to finish my lunch an go make some lemonade- time to make a landfill run.

    I’m starting to get the stealership thing. Came in for a service and they want to add on 400 plus in recommended services including 60 to change out the cabin air filter. Which I walked to parts and bought for a third of that.
