I thought it was time to post some real updates on my ongoings. A lot of stuff has been going on, most of it being shitty. Now I’m not sure about most people, but it’s normal for me to have at least one really super shit month a year. It’s the times when everything just seems to be piling up and nothing goes right. Most years it’s a bunch of cars problems mounting up at the same time. This year I hit the mother load. I would say the shit storm started in March and continues till this day. Let’s go through the past couple months real quick. Here it is, in no real order.

1. Various car issues pop up at the same time as yearly bonuses. The STI shredded a tire on the way home from work one day. So I replaced all tires. At this time I found out I had 5% left on the brake pads. STI brake pads go for $300-400 dollars for the fronts and $250 for the rears. The bonus was gone pretty much the day I got it. Along with the STI, the truck once again needed some brake work done. In April the Tahoe has gotten added to the mix with it’s own issues eating away at the bank. We have since sold the STI.

2. On April 12th while riding ADV for the Wood’s Fun Center free day, I avoided a near crash on the dirt bike. But by avoiding the crash I tore the ACL in my right knee. On April 23rd, I had surgery on the knee to reconstruct the ACL. For about 3 weeks after it was complete hell. I would describe the following weeks like having to learn how to walk again.

3. One day in May, I had a manager at work come up to me and asked me if I would be interested in interviewing for his team. Hell yeah! Only one problem, my current manager is a douche bag. I have tried to leave on two different occasions and he has not let me go. He even had gone so far to threaten to tell other managers that I wasn’t doing my job. Anyway, I said I wanted to move and that turned into a whole other shit storm. Thankfully, the new manager stuck it out through the storm and I got my release date.

4. Day before my vacation more car problems started. After getting back from vacation I had to deal with those problems. Woo Hoo! Welcome home!

5. July 1st, 2 months and 1 week after my ACL reconstruction, I reinjured my leg. I was 100% sure that I had completely torn my ACL again. I found out a few days later that the ACL was still intact but was attenuated. I need to continue rehab and I will find out next week if I need surgery again. In the words of Gay Robot, Good Times!

Anyway, the good times continue. But it’s really no big thang. I just hope that next year returns to the one month shit storm.

Peace out! Keep lovin’ life.
