Eyes closing on me. Came home early today, despite lots on the schedule. Came home about 5:30. I'm just completely worn out. After helping clean out the carriage and storage barns early in the a.m., I went out and fixed three cars today--new cruise control switch in a 2018 Hyundai Kona (remove the airbag, steering … Continue reading 2021-09-25 — Home Early

2021-09-24 — One More Day ‘Til Sunday
I'm a good bit over the edge physically. Tough day. Started early. Ended late. Filthy dirty. Exhausted. Head not doing so well. First job was finishing a water pump job for someone who started it but didn't finish. It went fine. Same set up as the one I did just the other day. Second job … Continue reading 2021-09-24 — One More Day ‘Til Sunday
2021-09-23 — Slow Motion
Today the adrenaline or whatever wore off, and I sort of hit the wall. I just... was in slow motion--just tired and burned out. Accordingly, I managed to do a grand total of two cars today before calling it and heading home. Interestingly, though I only did two cars, it was still a long day, … Continue reading 2021-09-23 — Slow Motion
2021-09-22 — I’m Here
I don't know what to write. Cold morning this morning. 44 degrees. Tired. Long day. Should be in bed, but... I don't want to go to bed. Don't want to get up. Possible new business opportunity. Nephew in law called me today and told me about an opportunity that looks pretty solid. I just have … Continue reading 2021-09-22 — I’m Here
2021-09-21 — Gotta Slow Down
I have eight minutes to have lights out and me in bed by midnight. Gotta get to bed earlier. Midnight would be a pretty darn good improvement from 3 or 2 a.m. I'm wiped out--absolutely wiped. Another very long day. had Thomas ride along with me today. That was good. Helped me hold my tongue … Continue reading 2021-09-21 — Gotta Slow Down
2021-09-20 — Butt Kicked
I'm slammed. Early up. Late bed. Jobs pretty much all went sideways, and far sideways. One of those days where it's so bad that you just a pleading with the universe for it to be done, but it just keeps going further and further sideways. I'm just hammered. Hammered. Today feels like Friday or Saturday, like I've … Continue reading 2021-09-20 — Butt Kicked
2021-09-19 — Mama’s Comin’ Home
Buenas. 😊 Happy new week! Well, I didn't sleep much last night, despite it being my Sunday rest day. 🙃 I went to bed around... 3ish after my second midnight mowing escapade of the week (I'd spent two or three hours mowing the other night and then another 3 last night, dealing with the grass … Continue reading 2021-09-19 — Mama’s Comin’ Home
2021-09-18 — Finally Sunday
It's been a bust-my-tail kind of a week--all week. Running and gunning. Up late, up early, pounding, pounding, pounding. Today was no exception. I think I went to bed about 3 again and up at 7 something again. Pretty tired. Grateful it be Sunday. Gonna sleep a good while--put my phone on silent tonight and … Continue reading 2021-09-18 — Finally Sunday
2021-09-17 — Running Together
Things are so crazy that it's all just sort of running together at this point. I was up early and out early. Did 8 cars, one of them pro bono, though they gave me $50 anyway 🙃. Some cars went smoothly, most went... a titch to a good bit sideways. But... 8 cars is 8 … Continue reading 2021-09-17 — Running Together
2021-09-16 — One of Those Days
Took longer to get the Mini Excavator over to the renter this morning than I wanted. Looks like it's got some issues that I don't remember it having before the first rental. 😕 Hopefully, I can make my money back out of it sooner rather than later. I guess we'll see. 🙃 First job went … Continue reading 2021-09-16 — One of Those Days
