2021-09-12 — Divorce Before Marriage and Two ER Visits
So I decided to close my curtains to keep some of the light out (being a very light sleeper, I wake up easily when the sun comes up, even if I'm really short on sleep. And Iย wasย short on sleep, so I chose to close my curtains to make it easier). The result? I slept in … Continue reading 2021-09-12 — Divorce Before Marriage and Two ER Visits
2021-09-11 — Ever Forward
Hola, mon peopleses. ๐ Happy Saturday to all y'all. Hope you good day has been uplifting and educational. Over here it started out as another slow day. I'm used to having the phone ring off the hook seemingly in the morning, but it's been dead pretty much since my competitor came out swinging with advertisements … Continue reading 2021-09-11 — Ever Forward
2021-09-10 — Try Try Again?
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?
2021-09-09 — Back to Busy
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
2021-09-08 — Slowing Down Again
Hi hi. ๐ 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
2021-09-07 — Back to Work
Holar. Happy Tuesday. ๐ 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
2021-09-06 — Little Bits
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
2021-09-05 — Goodbye H&H
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. ๐ฌ Tried … Continue reading 2021-09-05 — Goodbye H&H
2021-09-04 — It Wasn’t Me
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
