Life has felt like a downhill shit show for about the past week now.

It’s been a solid two years last month of house projects. I’m trying to wrap up the final project, changing out a set of sliding glass doors for hurricane impact french doors. They were supposed to be delivered today, but I got a call this morning saying the packaging the doors came in fell apart when they tried to put the doors in the truck to be delivered. Seriously? We’re not talking five dollar items here, and the damn company is stapling the packing together to save money on a package of french doors that cost two thousand dollars.

Just about a week ago, my manager made a negative comment about me during a meeting saying I don’t know how to use PowerPoint. Fucking PowerPoint? Are you kidding me? Right after hearing that, I talk to a woman I’ve been getting to know and she tells she “might” go back to her ex-husband. That all made for a double whammy punch in the gut.

I recently visited family in the Carolinas. It was a wonderful time seeing them all, went to a great concert, and stayed in Myrtle Beach for a few days where I attempted surfing for the first time. That was a hell of lot tougher than I thought.

Coming back here to Florida has been dark days lately, thanks to all the shit rolling downhill since I’ve been back as it tends to do. I’m really feeling it’s time for a new chapter, hence the title of my post. I just want to get this last fucking project done, rent this place out again, and get things going in the right direction again.

I haven’t exactly been looking forward to emptying this place out to start fresh somewhere else again, but on the other hand it feels like all the bad shit is happening for a reason. I’m starting to get some ideas about what to do down the road, but I’ve got to uproot from being here first.

It’s been tough to work through everything lately. I’m finding myself depression sleeping a bit too much lately. I tend to do that when I would rather not face my situation, but I really have to work past that. I do feel things will get better soon. It just felt like I was getting some positive indications of good things happening that turned out to get shot down in flames. Got to keep on going, and get to that next chapter.
