Good evening, my friends. Today has been one of the greatest days of my life. I want to stay as far away from ego as I can and as sensitive to others as I can, so I'm simply going to say that I saw in myself something that I have longed to see. I was … Continue reading 2021-02-12 — The Refining Fire

Well... it changed from being a choice today to being the reality. We're iced in. And that means no worky for me. 🙃 I was gonna do just a single battery job today, but I couldn't even get safely down our driveway, and with temperatures looking like they're gonna be the coldest I've experienced in … Continue reading 2021-02-11 — Iced In ❄

So... y'all might be proud of me. I'm mostly taking the next week off. I'm only gonna do super easy stuff like battery jobs, of which I might have one tomorrow. Otherwise, I've been telling customers, ain't gonna be available until next Wednesday. Which... according to my forecast was supposed to be 42, so I … Continue reading 2021-02-10 — Day Off… Wednesday?

Hey, folks... So... I took it easy again today. Four cars, two of them call backs. Don't get those very often, so it's weird to do two in one day, let alone one at all. Sooo... only two cars I actually got paid for. Home around maybe 6? I've been thinking more and more about … Continue reading 2021-02-09 — Starting to Get More Real

I imagine some of you, if not all, will be proud of me. I could have had an extremely busy day today, but I... refused. I hit a wall, physically, spiritually, emotionally, and I was just like... nope. So instead of rushing out in the frigid but Seattle-style misting rain and pounding away at job … Continue reading 2021-02-08 — Teetering

Went to bed fine, but woke up with a headache, and I've gotten worse and worse as the day goes on. I don't really know if these are really considered migraines, but they sure do hurt. Nail through my right eye and the top of my head. Guess the taking of myself (food and drink … Continue reading 2021-02-07 — Guess It Wasn’t Enough

(sigh) Was bound to have a rough one again. Was a double whammy today--work and personal life. The first car was (and still is) a disaster. It could have gone so quickly and so smoothly, but... I tried to avoid an issue I normally run into. Funny thing is the step I took is the … Continue reading 2021-02-06 — Another Week Gone

Things are flying right now. It was another... probably record-breaking day for me personally. I don't think I've personally ever made as much in a day by myself than I did today. I don't know that for sure, but... yeah... I think so. That's cool. 🙂 It even started off pretty rough and tough with … Continue reading 2021-02-05 — Cruising… but…

It's late. I'm late. It's 11:27. It's been a fairly smooth day. 😊 My first job kicked my butt a little bit. It took two hours to find a coolant leak because it just wouldn't... leak. Finally, as I was about ready to give up, I managed to get it to leak by turning the … Continue reading 2021-02-04 — Hello Again 😊
