Please say prayers/send happy thoughts to yours truly. Gonna be a week of burning the midnight oil. I forgot about taxes being due on the 15th for me with my new business structure, and since I used my the-world-is-frozen-around-me time as down time instead of tax time, I’m… in a world of hurt right now.
(sigh)
So… I’m gonna be burning the midnight oil for… days probably. 🙃 Work all day on cars. Work all night on taxes.
Ah, heaven. 😋
Gonna do my very best to take care of my eating and drinking, and I guess I’ll figure out the sleep thing. Or not. I’ve just gotta get this done. Power through it. My biggest concern is porn relapse. I’m at 37 days. I don’t want to relapse. Doing what I’m going to do could be a bit dangerous there. I’ll feel it out. If it’s gonna be bad, then I’ll figure some other way to get my taxes done, and I’ll sleep.
Today… was a day of thinking I was done with jobs. I’d get done, and then something would be wrong, or I’d get done, and then realize I forgot something. Every. Single. Job. had that happen today. 🙃
Well, except the last one. The last one was a pre-purchase inspection. And boy were they glad they paid me to go look at it. They were about to buy the car, and I got there and found that it had been in a pretty stiff front-end wreck that probably could have salvaged it out, but it hadn’t been salvaged out. He’d bought it at auction (the same auction I buy from), and done a make shift repair, not a good one. Decent looking on the outside, but not… good. I could see bent parts on the inside, stuff not together right, etc. They were very happy they’d paid me and didn’t end up with that car that could have all sorts of issues.
It was nice to end the day on that. I lost some other jobs not getting to them in time, but… whatever. I’m so loaded. It’s crazy. I’ve even been turning down the jobs that have little red flags. I’m just taking what are generally straightforward jobs. Go, change out the part, be done.
#1. I’m grateful to have had a decent payday today. It’s been a while. Lots more money going out than in.
#2. I’m grateful that I’m doing well with my texting/working while driving issue. I’m having to deal with the fact that lots of productivity time is no longer available. But it never should have been anyway, so my productivity was artificially high because I was doing what I shouldn’t have been, which was both unsafe and illegal. I advocate that we obey all laws, even those we don’t like, so I best be congruent and not a hypocrite.
#3. I’m grateful to be clean and sober from porn still. 37 days. Wahoo.
#4. I’m grateful to have such beautiful weather. Yay for spring. I like it. 🙂
#5. I’m grateful to be as healthy as I am. I have issues all over, but… look at me. I’m… so blessed. So many people have so many horrific physical challenges. Makes mine look… so small.
