Y2 D261

I slept on the couch last night. Not really sure why other than I felt like it. I think it was due to my back bugging me a little bit and I can always get a better night sleep sometimes if I am on the couch. Less room to toss and turn. I feel pretty good this morning because of it. Plus the cat likes it. She enjoys when I sleep on there because she can smush right up against me. Nothing like cat ass in your face.

Did an install for a client yesterday. Turned out to be a very informative and good day on the work front. I had to drive yet again, but this time I rode the bike. Almost had a major problem though. First off, the gloves I had (notice past tense) were thin. They are meant for protection, not warmth. Although I had managed to wrap my body with multiple layers, my hands were freezing. I couldn't feel my right pinkie finger. When I got off the bike near the client, I pulled into a target to look at some kind of hand warmer. I almost fell down. I don't know what happened but I had this massive wave of dizziness and naseau pass over me. I was down for about 10 minutes. Couldn't stand, couldn't walk. Felt like I was going to collapse right there. I ended up just sitting on a bench until it passed. Was a little scary. I didn't know what was going on with my body. I could hypothesize all sorts of different things, but truth be told, I have no clue what happened. After that passed I went inside and bought some insulated work gloves. I needed something to warm up my hands. Luckily there were only $13 but made the biggest difference ever. I could feel my fingers again, what a concept.

Headed to the client, did my work, and rode home. On the way home I stopped at a motorcycle dealer near the client. They are the only Victory dealer near me and I didn't know when I would have a chance to be out there again. I have been looking at one of Victory's new bikes, but it is so new the dealer won't have any in until March. I will go back out in a few weeks to test ride it.

Got home and had a nasty surprise; a late fee for my rent. Turns out, my rent has to be in on the 4th. I thought I had until the 4th. But because I was out of town, I did it online and it wasn't processed until the 4th. They explained all this to me and I asked if they would waive the charge. They are checking with their home office to see if they can reverse the charge. It's $40 so it's not the amount as much as it's the principle. Bugs me. Let's see what happens today.

Did some more work last night for another client and started the post-processing of the pictures from the dinner party. Need to finish both of those today. Working from home thank goodness so I don't have to rush anywhere.
