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

Buenas noches amigos y amigas! Happy Sunday 😊 It's been a good bit lighter of a day today, and that's been nice. I needed that. Went out and got my redneck on a little bit 😁. I still haven't been able to let go and fully enjoy my time off, but today was a nice … Continue reading 2020-04-19 — “Let’s Get a Little Mud On the Tires”

Hola, peeps. Good... morning. 😊 As I begin to write this journal entry, it's 12:54 a.m. central time, and I'm exhausted. Lightning has been flashing a little bit, a few rumbles of soft thunder have been heard, the ground is just a tad wet outside, and I find myself (having just returned home from the … Continue reading 2020-04-18 — Fallout From A Good, Bad Dream

Today has been hard on all addiction fronts. 🙁 It's been one of those days... Candy and ice cream have been calling my name. So has wasting my time in front of movies/TV... Porn, too. Ugh. But... so far... I've survived the day. If I can get this journal entry done, get tomorrow's work schedule … Continue reading 2020-04-17 — Withdrawals

You know, one of the really nice things about keeping a daily journal is that it helps me identify what on earth I've done in my life and when I've done it. Last night some time... or maybe it was this morning. Both! It was both! Last night to figure out the sobriety stuff and … Continue reading 2020-04-16 — Moving Right Along

Hey hey, and happy Wednesday! 😊 (or Thursday, to you peeps on the other side of the world 😁) Today has been a bit more relaxing than yesterday, which is really nice because yesterday was a 20-hour work day for me. I still got up pretty early today, but I didn't have to do all … Continue reading 2020-04-15 — Too Much Social Distancing
