Well hiya, peeps! 😊 Happy Friday madrugada. 😴 Comparatively, I took it easy today. I was grateful that the phone had its Thursday lull, not nearly as many people calling, which had a very calming effect for me. When the phone rings every few minutes, I think my blood pressure rises, and I start to … Continue reading 2020-06-18 — Calm Before the Storm

Well... I had a bit of a meltdown today. I realized, quite too late, that a battery had tipped over in my mom's Durango, and had run down the tarp and spilled all over the carpet and wiring in the middle section, eating away the carpet, and mildly damaging the paint. I was already slammed … Continue reading 2020-06-17 — But I Didn’t Curse

Hola, peeps! 😊 Happy Tuesday. 😁 Guess what? I think I'm three straight days, not just with no premeditated cursing, but none period. That's pretty good, if I do say so myself, given some of the things that have happened over the last few days (my gloomy, discouraging Sunday, T-Mobile's face palm yesterday, and the … Continue reading 2020-06-16 — Didn’t Miss A Beat

I think it's time I do another one of these. Here's the day and my thoughts in bullet thoughts of gratitude: #1. I'm grateful that I was able to get the people in Missouri helped relatively easily. They had a CV axle stuck in their transmission that they couldn't get out, and historically, coming into … Continue reading 2020-06-15 — Happy Gratitude Day!! #2

To be honest, I'm in a state of mild despair. 😞 I'm worn out. I've spent nearly all of my "day off" working--not on fixing cars but on the business, and I'm still super behind. I spent hours cleaning out the work truck so I'm not frantically trying to find things during the work day. … Continue reading 2020-06-14 — Lows & Not As Lows

Hiya, folks. 😊 Happy Saturunday! Today has been the opposite of the yesterday slowdown. We did 12 cars today. 12!!! 🤪 The phone rang literally about 40 times today (making it exceedingly difficult to get any actual cars fixed [at least on my end]). It was insane. David did 8 cars today, and I did … Continue reading 2020-06-13 — [Phone Call!!!]

Guess what?!?! It's 10:14!!! 😁 But not just that, I've already eaten, hydrated myself, and gone for my run! I've actually been home since a little after 8:00!!! Are you proud of me?!?! 😁 I'd like to say it's all because I've turned over a new leaf. But... well... today was a little slower because … Continue reading 2020-06-12 — A Little Earlier

Ooof. So far I've survived in tact today, notching another day on the no-premeditated swearing challenge, but... Ooof. It was hard. I had expected the first job I went to today to be relatively straightforward. I mean... it was just replacing a starter, and I'd already taken it out!!! How hard could it be?!?! What … Continue reading 2020-06-11 — Challenge Tested

Top of the evenin' to y'all, and happy conclusion to Wednesday. 😊 It's been a good day today, a good day of the happier variety. I had some good communication with my tech today. He really is a good guy. We worked out a few things, I think, and we'll figure more out. That's good. … Continue reading 2020-06-10 — What Goes Around

Hey, folks. Hope y'all have had a wonderful day filled with peace and happiness and love. 😊 It's been a rough one over here, so perhaps your days can balance out mine. 😊 The yin to my yang. It was one of those days today where... I haven't actually checked the totals, but I likely … Continue reading 2020-06-09 — The Next Challenge
