GF said something this morning that dropped my mood in the shitter because I don't have a solution for the issue yet. I mean I do, but who has time to build it? I have who knows how many programs to build first. This is making it hard to be productive, but I'm forcing it to happen anyway. I can feel my mood slowly returning to normal over the course of the day.
Most of the adjustments to the script of LTU 5/skeleton script that have been necessary to balance the newly complete Magnus Engine are finished. I have a couple more things that shouldn't take too long to work on and then we can start build. Being productive has been challenging, but I'm able to do it, which I normally wouldn't be able to do given the level of depression I was feeling. That is very impressive.
Today I went to the dentist because last time I had work done (filling broke and needed replacement, which was 5 months ago) the tooth broke a few days later and has been increasingly sensitive. I suspected an infection, and I don't play with that. So when I had the chance I made an appointment and went in.
USLM4 strikes again: I get there and there's nobody in the waiting room. They take me in 15 minutes early.
And again... Doc tells me there is no infection, the broken tooth is only chipped and the filling is fine, and that it just needs a little plastic to patch it up.
And AGAIN.... then as he's finished, he tells me, "It's technically not covered under my guarantee because it's the tooth and not the filling that broke, which isn't my fault, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and there is no charge for today." That means his time, materials and the X-Ray are free... I was expecting a $125 to $250 bill. Nope, Doc likes me, apparently.
Thanks, USLM4!
Hi man,
You shouldn't feel down for not being able to solve everything your GF is having problems with, heck you kind of went out of your way to make LTU just for her, remember? Not every guy would do that. Even if it wasn't just for her that is still something. Hope she appreciate you for that.
The depression resulted from realizing that my previous attempt to provide a solution for one of her challenges was a huge waste of time and money for reasons neither of us realized until she told me that and we pieced it together through our discussion. The real solution is something I can create, but it's going to be a while until I have the time.
