Things are flying right now. It was another… probably record-breaking day for me personally. I don’t think I’ve personally ever made as much in a day by myself than I did today. I don’t know that for sure, but… yeah… I think so.
That’s cool. 🙂
It even started off pretty rough and tough with me not even getting to my first job until like 10:30 or 11, I think, ad things not going so well on the first two jobs. But then they smoothed out. Tire repair, alternator, battery, battery, starter, and ball joint/lower control arm, etc. That last one… I chose to do as a late late job, only just getting home (it’s after midnight now). I knew it was going to be… challenging, and the day tomorrow was packed, and they were under the gun anyway, so I went over late tonight and got them taken care of. They’re super happy that it’s done tonight, and I’m glad, too, as it was sort of a question mark, what was I getting into? etc. And it was long and challenging, but it’s done, and here we are. That’s gonna make tomorrow simpler.
It’s supposed to rain/snow tomorrow, so that could be interesting. It’s another completely jam packed day. We’ll see what we can do. I might take a decent amount of next week off because lows are going to be single digits, and… that’s… miserable to work in. I’ve done that before, running in place beside a car to try to stay even slightly warm while working in frigidness, getting chilled to the bone. We’ve got several days in a row of super cold. Probably a good time for me to focus on getting taxes taken care of.
Anyway, it be late. I be tired. And though it’s fun to break records and be better prepared financially for the future, meh… I’m cruising, but… not the direction I want to be.
I’m so slow to make this change. 🙃
#1. I’m grateful to have made it through the day. My body is on edge, and perhaps slightly over the edge. I need to be really careful there. I’ll crash hard if I don’t right the ship fast. I tried to eat today. I guess I didn’t get enough, but I’m grateful I’m here and home and close to bed. 😊
#2. I’m grateful to have that big question mark job that was a little nerve racking out of the way (the last one).
#3. I’m grateful that I’ve had so many straightforward jobs lately. I’m gonna keep doing those and am going to be saying no to the ones that sound like they could be black holes. Hopefully, that’ll help.
#4. I’m grateful to have helper starting Monday. Man, I could have used one these last few days. We’ll see how it goes with him. Seems like a nice kid.
#5. I’m grateful not have a mechanic employee right now. It’s less stressful in lots of ways. It’s harder to stay on schedule, but it’s nice to be able to not have those pressures anymore.
