Happy birthday, to my wonderful mother. 😊 ... Funny how I say I'm gonna head one direction, and what nearly always happens is that I end up going the other at an even faster pace. 🙃 I say I'm going to work less. I say I'm going to transition to humanitarian/peace work. But what do … Continue reading 2021-01-27 — Go Go Go

Hola, my peeps. 😊 Another pretty decent day today without the continuous ridiculousness 😊. In fact, my first job went pretty fabulously, honestly. I figured out a way to do a three-hour job in under 2 hours. That was super cool. Supposedly, you have to take the axle out to replace the alternator on a … Continue reading 2021-01-26 — Busy Busy Busy

I almost don't even know how to react. Just... smiles. Why? Because the day is over and guess what? It went... smoothly! 😶 It feels so... yay!!! Got up... had to scramble a little bit because I didn't do scheduling yesterday or Saturday night, so I got a late start to a busy day, but … Continue reading 2021-01-25 — Smooth

Hi, folks, One of the challenges for me in writing this daily journal is the recurring discouragement of sharing where I'm at, the struggles I'm going through, and the sense, be it accurate or not, that some of my readers are frustrated with my inability to overcome some of my personal issues. It's hard to … Continue reading 2021-01-24 — Getting Up

I'm exhausted. Glad it's time to sleep. Glad it's Sunday tomorrow. #1. I'm grateful I got the fuel pump/tank/lines job done finally. #2. I'm glad the job from yesterday I had to go back to today was a super easy fix. #3. I'm grateful my mom sent me out with food this morning. Saved my … Continue reading 2021-01-23 — Crashing

Relapsed. Another nightmare day. Not sure how it's possible to have so many things go sideways in a week. It's just... it's literally like the universe has planned it. I'm just at a loss and crumbled in little pieces. I feel like I've reverted to the person I was at the beginning of last year... … Continue reading 2021-01-22 — 🙁

Things might be changing faster than I'd thought. I let David go today. 😕 I just... my standards for work are just higher than what he does. I feel like he's a good, honest guy, but what he thinks is good work and what I think is good work... it's just... we're not compatible. I'm … Continue reading 2021-01-21 — The Winds of Change

Hey, folks, Ditto, repeat, clone, reprise, duplicated... whatever you want to call it. Today was yesterday... mostly. It took me 5 1/2 hours of madness (everything going wrong that could go wrong) today before I finally just broke down again, not as badly as yesterday, but it... ugh. Eight hours after I started working on … Continue reading 2021-01-20 — Come in Pairs

Today has been a nightmare. Knee still screwed up (didn't mention that yesterday... swelled up again for no reason). David didn't get any cars done today even after working all day. I didn't either. One mess after another after another after another after another. I blew my top and had a complete meltdown late afternoon. … Continue reading 2021-01-19 — Nightmare

Today was a bit of a nuthouse, but every day is a good day. It's just good in different ways. 🙃 The best part of the day for me? Probably the 30 minutes I chose to take, time I didn't really actually have, to go out to the woods this morning before leaving for my … Continue reading 2021-01-18 — At Least I Got the Trees
