I apologize if I've been... off... lately.
I've been off of my meds for the last couple of weeks. Not because I got cut off, but because I've been working my ass off as usual and haven't had the chance to get them refilled. And I don't dare use the VA's automatic snail-mail refill system because that's about as predictable as a bunch of rabid weasels on crack - so many ways for something to fuck up. At least this way I know why and how things are SNAFUed.
Let me tell you, Wellbutrin may work wonders, but it's a BITCH to come off of because it's like all the pent up depression just hits you all at once.
I finally got over the worst of it the other day, though I had to take off early from work in order to be able to cope. But hopefully from here on out things will be better, especially once I'm able to get back on my meds.
I just need a bit more time - time to finally get the last needed repairs to my Saturn SC1 made (turns out that CV joint that had the cracked boot is actually fucked beyond what a rebuild will fix), and time to get back into the swing of things.
I'm just hoping that I find a good CV axle in the parts yard. And it WILL have to be from the parts yard. Because all the after market CV axles do not have the dynamic dampener (a tough, rubber coupling in the middle of the axle shaft that absorbs vibrations) that the OEM axles have. They do this as a cost cutting measure because who is gonna complain about a car that's a bit noisy during acceleration. (Hint: Me, because it's my fucking car.) So yeah. Time to play lotto, because I want my car to perform the way it's meant to, and not like some ancient relic of a shit box. At the very least the parts yard will accept exchanges for parts that turn out to be bad.
