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, andย farย 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

Buenas. ๐ Happy new week! Well, I didn't sleep much last night, despite it being my Sunday rest day. ๐ 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 ๐. 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. ๐ Hopefully, I can make my money back out of it sooner rather than later. I guess we'll see. ๐ First job went … Continue reading 2021-09-16 — One of Those Days
2021-09-15 — This Little Dude’s Tired
Holar. Happy end of Wednesday. ๐ด Long, insanely busy day. 11 cars on the schedule. Did seven, paid for six. Nine on the schedule for tomorrow already, with more likely saying they want help. I also have a lunch interview to do with the gentleman who's applying to work for me. Another applied today as … Continue reading 2021-09-15 — This Little Dude’s Tired
2021-09-14 — Runnin’ and Gunnin’
The eyes be "a [shuttin'] on me" (think The Great Race). ๐ด Another late one, and, yes, my anonymous Blogreader friend, I need more sleep... for sure. ๐ Coming up on 2 a.m. again, and things be "crazy as a coot." Things be "as crazy as two coots." Gonna meet with my new potential worker … Continue reading 2021-09-14 — Runnin’ and Gunnin’
