Hola, folkses, Hope y'all have had... growing days. 😊 I'm... late. It's 11:22 p.m. I didn't get home until after 10, and I only just barely finished scheduling for tomorrow. I got somewhere around 40 phone calls today 😶. I guess that means the Christmas slowdown is over? 🙃 So... yeah... I'm exhausted. My eyes … Continue reading 2020-12-28 — Like the Old Days

The Sunday blues started early and were quite heavy this morning. They are this evening as well as I write this. I managed to keep them at bay during the day by just keeping busy. I'm lonely. I long for a companion. I've let fear creep in pretty good, and I'm struggling. It's really hard … Continue reading 2020-12-27 — Hanging On

Hey folks, it's been a pretty positive, relaxing day, but the last few minutes just hit me super sideways, just as I was about to write in my journal, and... I'm... quite irritated. Add that to the fact that it's 9:37, and I'm just gonna call it a night. Scheduling. Chores. Cars to fix. Grocery … Continue reading 2020-12-26 — Try Again Tomorrow

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
