My friend Cory reminded me that it was Saint Patrick's Day, so I made sure to wear some multi-colored socks to church that actually had some green on them. 🙃 Yep... actually went to church today, though I wasn't very good about actually paying attention, spending a lot of time on my phone because So … Continue reading 2024-03-17 — He Went to Church 🙃

2024-03-16 (Saturday) — Get Down on the Farm
Hello, my lovelies. 😊 Happy day to you! Alright, let's see. I was grateful to have a bee in my bonnet early and to have motivation to work and get stuff done today. 😊 I started early, getting to the Rogers recycling center shortly after they opened at 7:30, where I grabbed that last load … Continue reading 2024-03-16 (Saturday) — Get Down on the Farm
2024-03-15 — TGIF
Today everything just sort of went... well. 🙃 No major problems. Nothing went super sideways. Nearly everything was pretty straightforward. 🥳 I did six cars, and i finished up with the last one about 5:15. 😶 I didn't reach my billable hours goal, coming in at about 8.8, I think, but hey, I'll take it! … Continue reading 2024-03-15 — TGIF
2024-03-14 — Wood Chips Galore!
Jim had the morning to work together on the hill to try and further the cause of the hill and make progress on the things you want to get done. He was hoping to get some wood chips to keep the weeds from growing under the trees between his house and the barns. That meant … Continue reading 2024-03-14 — Wood Chips Galore!
2024-03-13 — New Van!
(Written on the 14th) It wasn't a very effective work day today, at least not on the money making side. 🙃 I started out very slow out of the gates, just... Burned out. After going to the AutoZone in Pea Ridge, I think I got to the first job about 10:00. The first job was … Continue reading 2024-03-13 — New Van!
2024-03-12 (Tuesday) — Beater Trailer Gone
(written on the 14th) Today was a to-do list day. Tippy top on the list was taxes, I started working on everything in the morning, and then, a little overwhelmed with everything, I swallowed my pride, made the smarter choice, stress-wise, and just asked last year's accountant if she would be willing to file my … Continue reading 2024-03-12 (Tuesday) — Beater Trailer Gone
2024-03-11 — Hold It Up, Beat It Off
(written on the 14th} It was another big work day today, decently successful. The first car was going back to that 2013 Mazda 3 that needed struts. It's supposed to be a relatively simple job, you know? You undo the sway bar link upper nut on both sides. You remove the lower bolt that mounts … Continue reading 2024-03-11 — Hold It Up, Beat It Off
2024-03-10 — Taxes… Continued
Yeah, not much to report. Didn't go to church again. Not doing well emotionally. I feel the absence of God, but I just... Part of me still struggles to trust that they're even is a god, but I think more of me is just angry and... hurting. I'm lonely. Feeling it more these days. Lots … Continue reading 2024-03-10 — Taxes… Continued
2024-03-09 — Tax Season 😶
(written on the 14th) I think I spent most of the day working on taxes. Deadline is March 15th to either submit taxes or file for an extension. Given how much I have to do, filing for an extension looks like the obvious choice. It's not really realistic to think that I'm going to get … Continue reading 2024-03-09 — Tax Season 😶
2024-03-08 — Rain Delayed.
(written on the 13th) So... It wasn't supposed to rain yesterday, and it was supposed to rain today. But it rained pretty much all day yesterday, and then it was clear for a decent chunk of the day today before it started raining again. Good gravy. 🙃 Anyway, I don't remember what all I did … Continue reading 2024-03-08 — Rain Delayed.
