I don't remember why I chose to, but somewhere around the end of 2008 or the beginning of 2009 (I think the latter), I decided to move back to live with my dad and step mom in Provo, Utah. As I think I mentioned in the previous autobiographical sketch, the University of Utah, after the … Continue reading The Provo, Utah Years, Pt. 3 (’09-’13)

I swear I said I was going to work less. Didn't I? Well, I didn't get to bed until 2 a.m. this morning because I was getting everything organized for the crazy day that today was. Then I was up early doing the same thing--texting probably 20 different customers this morning before even heading out … Continue reading 2020-04-28 — Almost Records

So, I love staying up late. Its sooooo natural to me. But I also loooooove being up early, awake when the world is asleep, when all is still. It's so peaceful--so much easier to be at rest, calm, etc. Of course, the obvious solution is to never go to bed. That solves all the problems. … Continue reading 2020-04-27 — Gearing Up

Hola peoples, Happy Sunday. You know... I've gotta get better at taking my days off... well... off. I work so much during the week that I don't have much time to get things done at home that need to get done, like the Honda Accord that's needed new rear struts. I want to get that … Continue reading 2020-04-26 — A Little Blasé

Buenas noches, mi gente fabulosa! Happy Saturday night! It's been a really good day today. My migraine lifted about 5 ish this morning after getting a couple of calls that woke me up after going to bed. It was super hard to get back to bed after the first call, my head was pounding. The … Continue reading 2020-04-25 — A Pleasant Surprise

Hi peeps, 😊 It's 7:15 p.m., and I'm home from work, sitting in my recliner with the keys making a clickity clack sound as I write this little journal entry for y'all. And... I have a migraine. 🙁 It (the migraine) has sapped my energy, and I was dozing off in my recliner when I … Continue reading 2020-04-24 — Your Graine or Mi Graine?

I'm teetering. I'm not quite ready to jump ship on my business altogether and dive headfirst into the humanitarian work I want to do, but I am this close to hanging up my wrenches, personally, and not working on another car until I've worked through these issues that are holding me back--these things that I … Continue reading 2020-04-23 — Decisions Decisions

I've been used to having various things to self medicate when things are going less than how I want them to be (which tends to be most of the time over the last handful of years). Sweets, porn, TV, movies, sports news, regular news... Well, I'm jonesing... badly, and my self medication aisle is roped … Continue reading 2020-04-22 — Self Medication

I'm swamped. Tax returns are coming in. Stimulus checks, too; and everyone wants their cars fixed!!! It's such a good problem to have. But... I did go a bit crazy today. 🙃 I probably got called every 5 to 10 minutes during my second job, and... well... what can you do? Oh! You'd be so … Continue reading 2020-04-21 — Want a Job? 🙃

Happy Monday. 😊 Guess what? I got a bit of good news today. 😊 Well... at least it's mostly good news. Apparently, I've been calculating my sales tax payments incorrectly for... well... since I started my business! I've been reporting the whole amount I've collected, including taxes, instead of reporting the amount I collected before … Continue reading 2020-04-20 — Clerical Error in My Favor
