Well that's depressing

[clevermanka]

It just occurred to me why every time I have the opportunity to work on the Chevelle, I'm kind of like "ehhhh, but I could do this other thing instead." I simply do not have the mental energy to learn something new (like work on the engine or pull and catalog the wiring), nor do I have the physical energy to do the grunt work (like sanding down the wheel wells or cutting the floor).

It's just so much easier to do something I can practically do in my sleep, like make more pairs of bloomers for the October craft show I'm in. Or prep food for the week. Hell, even laundry is preferable to working on the car because at least I don't have to think about it.

What a shitty thing to realize.

Sympathy. So very much sympathy.

Thank you, bb.

That's either classic depression, or you just aren't as interested in working on the car as you'd like to be. :(

Oh, I know I'm depressed. But I'm also pretty sure the depression was triggered by all the physical crap. Gut/brain stuff you know.

BLECH. Only too well. So sorry, luv.

That blows. I hope it's temporary--the car will be there if your brain sorts itself out.

Yeah. And unfortunately mckitterick is too busy with his own stuff to work on it without me, sooooo.........

I'm so sorry for the mental and physical exhaustion. :(

I'm really super ready to be done with it now!

Ugh, I'm sorry you're feeling low. But I give you major props for even *thinking* about working on a car. That's hard freakin' work.

Thanks. =D And at least I have put a little bit of work into it.
