A happy happy birthday to my wonderful mama today. 🙂 She turned 29 ...again. Go, mama!! Day started off in a bit of a panic. Slept in. Woke up to an emergency call from a customer who's car I'd fixed yesterday. He'd been chatting with me while I was fixing his truck (just replacing an … Continue reading 2022-01-27 — Happy 29, Mama 🙂

Took it relatively leisurely today. I did just three jobs today. Alternator on a 1999 4 cyl Camry that didn't take much time at all, alternator on a 1995 Chevy 1500 that didn't take much time at all, and a starter on a 2009 Chevy Impala that should have taken probably 45 minutes less than … Continue reading 2022-01-26 — Leisurely
2022-01-25 — Off Kilter
I'm off kilter. Slept in late again. Wasn't feeling well. Half of it was pre migrainy stuff, and half of it, I think, was from the covid/hep/typhoid shots. Joints were achy. Wasted most of the day. Went out to work for only a couple of hours and did just one car. I'll do a few … Continue reading 2022-01-25 — Off Kilter
2022-01-24 — Jab Day, +1
Hi folks! It's been a bit of a rough day today, the first half, at least; and I didn't recover very well during the much easier second half. Just... stayed in a quick-to-blow temperament having riled myself up with the many frustrations of the morning and early afternoon. Anyway, I was tired and slept in … Continue reading 2022-01-24 — Jab Day, +1
2022-01-23 — Jab Day Eve
Slept in today. Didn't wake up for good until like... 6, so I'm not really tired right now, and I haven't had the best day today, and I don't really want to go to bed because I don't really want to get up, but we're here, and life just keeps lifing, and I've got stuff … Continue reading 2022-01-23 — Jab Day Eve
2022-01-22 — A Vote for My Utopian Dreamworld
I guess it's been good that I've been waking up before my alarm because today I realized, after waking up at 3:45 instead of at 3:30 with my alarm, that I'd only set the alarm for one day and not every day. Oops. 🙃 ... Evening now. Long day. Half of it went sideways, and … Continue reading 2022-01-22 — A Vote for My Utopian Dreamworld

Didn't realize until today. I guess the news that was getting through wasn't quite accurate. We didn't realize how bad it was. Another member of my hill family is in really rough shape--in the hospital, going on a ventilator... with Covid. Not good. Not good at all. I hope... hope hope that he is able … Continue reading 2022-01-21 — Solemnity
2020-01-20 — Lights and Tunnels
Hola, folks! To my surprise, I got up on time this morning. Having gotten to bed as late as I did, I didn't wake up before my alarm went off, and when it did go off, I wanted to just go back to bed, but somehow I got up and I haven't really been all … Continue reading 2020-01-20 — Lights and Tunnels

Mornin', my peeps. 😊 Three days in a row, and even waking up before my 3:30 alarm. Woke up at 3:20 today. 😊🥳 Progress. Been thinking a bit about who I want to be, trying to visualize the man I want to become. Some of it is getting to the point where I can feel, … Continue reading 2022-01-19 — Cold Cold

Mornin', folks. 🙂 My heart is certainly not free and easy. It's actually really heavy at the moment, but I'm up, going, and being productive and proactive, so that's positive. 🙂 Squirrel--Saw this article yesterday--one of only a few reasons I moved away from Utah (another big one being how crowded Utah is and how … Continue reading 2022-01-18 — Up an’ At ‘Em
