Hi, all. 🙂 I'm... teetering. I felt like I was turning a corner, but apparently it's a long corner. 🙃 I keep trying to get back to doing the things I know bring me peace, but I keep slipping back into the escapes, the running away and avoiding. That said, I'm making some progress on … Continue reading 2021-06-27 — Teetering

2021-06-26 — Round 2
Let's do a gratitude day. I could use one of those. 🙂 #1. I'm grateful that though I was severely lacking in sleep (couldn't fall asleep last night and didn't until about 6 a.m. or so, and I needed to get up at 8), I managed a fairly upbeat day nonetheless. Granted, I went down … Continue reading 2021-06-26 — Round 2
2021-06-25 — Busy, Busy, Busy
Worked too long today. Probably should have stopped after the first car, but I did two more, and the last two took a long time. Didn't get home until about 12:15 a.m. First car was a radiator fan in a 2017 Infiniti QX60. Second was an electrical issue that I couldn't figure out without sound … Continue reading 2021-06-25 — Busy, Busy, Busy
2021-06-24 — Half Birthday
Don't worry, I won't say that today was my half birthday, and I'm now closer to 40 than I am 39. Why would I say that? 🙃 Today was a more positive, upbeat type of good day today, and I'm grateful. I slept in a bit, chose to do only two cars today (a no … Continue reading 2021-06-24 — Half Birthday
2021-06-23 — Out of the House
Hey, folks, Happy Thursday. 🙂 I'm writing this entry using my cell phone because I dropped my computer last night and shattered my screen. Whoops. I'm glad phones are as capable as they are nowadays. I didn't do much today, but I did get out of the house, and I worked on 3 cars--three quick … Continue reading 2021-06-23 — Out of the House
2021-06-22 — No Real Change
No real change today. No progress. Just addictions (multiple that are dominating me right now), and lots of... just... stuff. I'm tired. I'm tired of no way out but through. Hope y'all are having better days than I. ~ stephen 
2021-06-21 — Stuck
I'm stuck. Struggling. Hiding. Avoiding. Please don't comment today. Don't want to face it. Thanks, though. I know you support me. ~ stephen 
2021-06-20 — The Wrestle
It's been... much of the same today as it was yesterday. I didn't really leave my room at all today except to get food and basically go right back up the stairs to my room. I'm a bit better than yesterday, both physically and emotionally. Interestingly, after taking a whole migraine pill instead of only … Continue reading 2021-06-20 — The Wrestle
2021-06-19 — Canceled
Gratefully, I was able to cancel my day today. I'm not doing so well, and I've been on edge all day. Migraine meds not helping. I'd been hopeful I'd found the issue, but it appears perhaps not. Oh well. Life goes on. Loves and hugs. Lift the World. ~ stephen 
2021-06-18 — $200 Tip
Only did one car today. Pads and rotors all around on a 2008 Chevrolet Impala. They prayed for my Hill sister. They gave me a $200 tip. Wow. Fixed the lawn mower. Mowed about half the yard/trails. Not doing so well, but I did some things right today. Lift the World. ~ stephen
