Took it a bit slower today again. Three jobs and a job interview. Tentatively hired a new mechanic, a young kid fairly recently out of school, I believe. I'll try him out starting Monday, and we'll see how it goes. If it works well, then I'll do a marketing push in the Fayetteville/Springdale area to … Continue reading 2021-09-10 — Try Try Again?

Up early but started late. I've been a bit more concerned lately with getting up on time because things have slowed down right about the time I had a major new competitor join the mobile mechanic scene. Calls often come in bunches early, first thing in the morning, and I'm listed as opening a half … Continue reading 2021-09-09 — Back to Busy

Hi hi. 😊 Another day in the books. I didn't do any cars today. Things have slowed down quite a bit. I don't know if it's the new guy on the block, if it's just a slow down, or what it is, but it's probably good for me. I'm still busy busy busy, but it's … Continue reading 2021-09-08 — Slowing Down Again

Holar. Happy Tuesday. 😊 Got my Terrain shipped off to the shop to be repaired. Cross your fingers that they do the job right. I felt like I shouldn't do the job myself... just that... f/Feeling. So... I'll trust it to someone else and hope they get it properly taken care of. A little nervous, … Continue reading 2021-09-07 — Back to Work

I swear my body is freaking out. Out of the blue, with no warning at all, my hands have started itching all over, and my forearms a little bit as well. Ummm... what's going on with me?!?! This is really bad right now. The itch is super strong. But there are no bumps, no rash, … Continue reading 2021-09-06 — Little Bits

Said goodbye to Heather and Hans today. Was great to have them here. Wish they could stay longer or that we could be closer. Back to... life tomorrow. I forget about holidays, so I schedule stuff. So it'll be busy tomorrow. Lots on my mind. Brain is gonna explode one of these days. 😬 Tried … Continue reading 2021-09-05 — Goodbye H&H

It's really late. I... ugh. I keep making choices that drag me down. Feeling pretty crappy right now. Addiction. Time wasting. Pity parties. Dwelling on things I can't do anything about. Not doing so well... at all. Anyway, throat was worse today. Didn't notice until tonight. Must have some sort infection in my thyroid? Given … Continue reading 2021-09-04 — It Wasn’t Me

Couldn't sleep much last night. Brain going 90 miles an hour thinking about all the business stuff. Got maybe 3 hours of sleep. The weird issue with my throat got about 50 times worse today. Don't know if I've even mentioned it. Starting maybe a couple months ago? if I swallowed a drink of water … Continue reading 2021-09-03 — Heather, Hans, and Half Day

Took a really big hit today. I think I know why Google removed my business listing. Someone else now legally has the name. Direct competition. My same area. The name I've been known as on Google for five years. They have it. All my reviews. Gone. They're starting over with my name and brand new … Continue reading 2021-09-02 — Took A Big Hit Today

Grateful my hip is feeling a good bit better. Still not 100%, but much better. Still don't know what even happened. Grateful to be less over the edge than I have been (though I'm still over the edge). Grateful to have made a bunch of progress on tax stuff today. Inch by inch. Grateful my … Continue reading 2021-09-01 — On the Mend?
