Happy Christmas, all you wonderful people out there! 😊 I hope your days really have been merry and bright. 😊 Mine started off early. Last night, I skipped out a little early from the family Christmas On the Hill party, and drove to Centerton to someone who'd put an ad out for a fully lit, … Continue reading 2020-12-25 — The Outward-Facing Life

Good day. Of course, as we all know, every day is a good day: It's just good in different ways. And today was a take-a-few-more-steps-toward-becoming-who-I-want-to-become, kind of a good day; and it was a make-a-bunch-of-progress-on-the-trails-through-the-woods kind of a good day; and it was a get-my-lumberjack-on kind of a good day. 😊 I actually did my … Continue reading 2020-12-24 — Of Gloves and Axes

Buenas, folks! February of 2019, after lots and lots of research, and after having decided to apply on my own instead of paying for a service to do it for me, I carefully filled out my 2553 s-corp application, triple checked it, and faxed it to the IRS. Then I waited. And waited. ...and waited... … Continue reading 2020-12-23 — Call Me S-Corp

I'm late. 10:49. Worked too much. Tired. Time for bed. #1. Grateful I was able to get some cars done today. I did four cars, and David did five. #2. I'm grateful to be in a better place than I was earlier today. It got pretty rough this morning and early afternoon. I starting feeling … Continue reading 2020-12-22 — Another Day

Folks, it's been a day. That's all I'm gonna say. We'll focus on the positive, right? #1. I'm grateful that despite monumental challenges, the work van is at least home even if it's probably going to be a bust. #2. I'm grateful that though I didn't eat anything today until just now, I'm not migraining … Continue reading 2020-12-21 — Happy Solstice and Special Star Night

Hiya, folks, I'm struggling again. Sorry to be a downer so regularly. Might be related to whatever this health issue is. I can't tell if it messes with my emotional stability, but I think other people have mentioned that they feel like they see patterns to that nature, even that my relapses tend to occur … Continue reading 2020-12-20 — Repeat

I'm wiped. I'm fighting off the second iteration of this last bout with my mystery disease. I went to bed with it, woke up multiple times during the night with it, and fought with it until probably maybe 1:30 or so this afternoon. I was fine from 1:30 until about 5 or so when I … Continue reading 2020-12-19 — Time to Rest

Hey hey, not feeling so hot right now. Body messed up. I thought I'd taken care of myself, but apparently not. Hit hard today. Migraining, a little nauseous. Can't think so well. Spent four or so hours on the phone with the IRS this morning. First lady was uber frustrating (and I wasn't the kindest … Continue reading 2020-12-18 — Migraining

The day started with a small (but large given the way things have gone lately) success in that I got up on time despite getting to bed late yet again. Victory. 😊 It was a hard morning, though, and I let myself get swallowed pretty quickly. My friend Cory sort of assigned himself text duty … Continue reading 2020-12-17 — Thank You, Cory

Hiya, folks! Okay, 8:58... Two minutes to write in my journal, floss, brush, let my super late dinner settle and get out of my stomach, chat with Captain Universe, and crash. One minute. 🙃 #1. I'm grateful that the day filled out a decent amount for David. I think it ended up being full day … Continue reading 2020-12-16 — The First Computer
