Not getting better. Getting worse. Feel pretty awful. ~ stephen 

Slept in. I thought I'd slept in until like 2, but I realized that my clock was wrong... power must've gone out or something. Went to bed a 5 a.m., working on tax stuff and whatnot. Up I think around noon or so. Been sick. Not feeling well at all. Wasted pretty much the whole … Continue reading 2021-12-25 — Merry Christmas

High was like 70 degrees today. Guess there's not much chance of a white Christmas. Spent the day in front of my screens, taxes and wasting time. Not doing very well. The tax stuff just keeps piling on. It's... hell. Oh well. I got myself into to it. I get to keep digging myself out. … Continue reading 2021-12-24 — Unseasonably Warm

Tired. Not feeling well. Woke up feeling mildly sick. Took a covid test... negative. Went to work, letting customers know that i was sick before I went to see if they still wanted me to come. Forgot to tell one... Anyway, day went mostly sideways... first car... 1994 Accord that needed a radiator and a … Continue reading 2021-12-23 — I’m Here.

Decided not to work on cars today. Wasted most of the day. Got a bit done with my taxes. Not much to report. I'm not doing very well emotionally. But I'm here. Lift the World. ~ stephen

The darkest day. From here until June 20th, the days will get longer and longer. Been an interesting one. After running into so many red flags with my welder, I called another one a neighbor recommended. He offered to drive from a city a few cities south of us and do it for free even … Continue reading 2021-12-21 — Happy Solstice!

Another day in the books. Slept in. Didn't get much done this morning because of that. Headed out to work fairly early. Did five cars-- #1. Lexus RX 330 needing a coolant overflow bottle. Cracked on the bottom, for the multipleth(?) time. I had to replace the whole radiator fan assembly because you can't just … Continue reading 2021-12-20 — Cracks and Cold

Not sure what to write. It's been another day. I'm distracted. Been working on a number of different things--taxes, phonetic stuff, and getting my Sentra put together enough to sell. Unfortunately, it's a mess (the Sentra, I mean)... the damage isn't very bad at all... pretty light, actually, but it's beyond my simple skills. Didn't … Continue reading 2021-12-19 — New Obstacle

Today was... a hodgepodge. It didn't go really at all as I'd planned it. I was supposed to go to Big Cedar near Branson today with my Hill Family for a Christmas dinner. But Thomas was sick and tested positive for Covid today, and I tend to get temporary sympathy pains when someone around me … Continue reading 2021-12-18 — Hodgepodge

I'm struggling. A lot. I'll get to that... I had told several people I'd get their cars fixed today, and when the weather report said it was going to be rainy today, I basically ignored it because I had cars to fix, and because of the high cost of fixing the bulldozer. Well... hoping to … Continue reading 2021-12-17 — Washed Away, Water and Soul
