Couldn't sleep much last night. Brain going 90 miles an hour thinking about all the business stuff. Got maybe 3 hours of sleep. The weird issue with my throat got about 50 times worse today. Don't know if I've even mentioned it. Starting maybe a couple months ago? if I swallowed a drink of water … Continue reading 2021-09-03 — Heather, Hans, and Half Day

Took a really big hit today. I think I know why Google removed my business listing. Someone else now legally has the name. Direct competition. My same area. The name I've been known as on Google for five years. They have it. All my reviews. Gone. They're starting over with my name and brand new … Continue reading 2021-09-02 — Took A Big Hit Today

Grateful my hip is feeling a good bit better. Still not 100%, but much better. Still don't know what even happened. Grateful to be less over the edge than I have been (though I'm still over the edge). Grateful to have made a bunch of progress on tax stuff today. Inch by inch. Grateful my … Continue reading 2021-09-01 — On the Mend?

Not much to say about today. Rough start. Not feeling well. Did two and a half cars--fixing a fuel leak on a 2001 Savana and diagnosing an engine noise on a 2000 Saturn. The third car (2000 Tahoe), one of the hanger-onners from something like two weeks ago fought me and fought me, and then … Continue reading 2021-08-31 — Goodbye August

It's been so long since I've gone over the edge, it's like I'd forgotten. I'm really bad right now, and having other issues. I'm slap happy. Headache. Sore throat. Exhausted. Need to eat but don't want to. And... other symptoms. Stomach has been mildly upset each time I eat something. Knees hurt. My right hip … Continue reading 2021-08-30 — Way Over the Edge

You know, I forgot to mention that my knee doesn't swell up anymore. Or at least hasn't since I drained it the second time. I think I actually hurt it again, and whatever I did to it caused the fluid to drain out and stay out? (hurt it as in kneeled on something that put … Continue reading 2021-08-29 — Another Week Rolls In

So... I did it. 🙃 First time in my adult life that I've bought a car that I bought just... because I... wanted it. For me. Not because it was practical. Not because it was stupid cheap (although it was a really great price 😁). Not because it was reliable. Not because I could make … Continue reading 2021-08-28 — Welcome to the Family. 🙃

Making some progress internally today. Still struggling a lot, but there was a marked change today. I somehow got some strength to press forward in some things and be more determined and even a tad bit more positive. That's been nice. Still struggling with being quick to anger when things go sideways. I've got a … Continue reading 2021-08-27 — Diesel Day

Things have been slowing down a bit. Not as many calls, and I've been turning down probably more than half of what's coming in anyway. I need the slowdown. Only did 4 cars today and got home around... 6? Didn't really accomplish anything after getting home. I'd hoped to, but I didn't do much. Just... … Continue reading 2021-08-26 — Slowing Down

Got the lawn mower quasi working this morning, so mom could mow the rest of the lawn. It had gotten crazy long from having been down for so long. Thanks, mom. Five cars today. Tried to take it easy, but one of the cars kicked my butt up one side and down the other, so … Continue reading 2021-08-25 — Love Them Batteries
