On February blahs, cars, and inner-peace

I had promised in my last entry that I would write about my upcoming trip to go and pick up my EV conversion candidate. The planned trip never transpired as my pick-up truck was diagnosed with a severe allergic reaction to actually being reliable. In truth part of the fuel system was leaking and I decided to forgo repairs and get rid of the truck once and for all. Following a friends suggestion I dontated the truck to the Quebec Kidney foundation where they partner with a salvage company and sell vehicles for parts and recoup a percentage of the funds to help kidney research, finally my old pick-up truck will be put to good use. The car I purchased up at my sister's was in better road condition than we previously thought so I took the bus up last Friday morning and my sister and I returned in the Festiva the next day, the trip was memorable, mechanically un-eventful and provided my sister and I some 8 hours of much-needed catchup time. Needless to say the travelling sapped the energy out of me and so I find myself rather light-headed as I type this entry.

It is the latter, trailing end of February, my little girl is now 2 years old as yesterday was her birthday, where has the time gone? I always find it difficult to deal with the end of February and begining of March, the lack of sunshine and the general slowdown after the busy frenetic pace of the holidays is always a downer. Although I don't partake in the hectic pace, it's always energizing watching people go to and through during the day, now everything is rather calm. You would think that the calmness would actually be welcoming, but somehow it has the adverse affect, or maybe I'm just dealing with my SADS (Seasonal Affective Disorder Syndrome). I'm just restless and eager to get on with a few things, more on that in another entry of course. All in all I'm at peace with myself for many things, life is good over all, my little girl is healthy and so is my wife, my own health is ok, although lately I've been feeling a bit anxious which is causing my heart some troubles, nothing serious, but my heartbeats have been a bit off.

That's it for now, hopefully I'll have more soon.
