I'm tired. I probably could have gone to bed hours ago and fallen asleep just fine. As it stands, it'll be about midnight before I tuck myself in bed for the night. Why am I tired? I think it's just this long, long, long push to get free of all the chains I bound myself … Continue reading 2022-03-06 — Pushing

Hiya, folks! 🙂 Happy Saturday! Let's see... I took it a bit easier today. Well... maybe i didn't take it easier: Maybe the day took it easier on me? I did four cars. The first was a warranty starter replacement for a job I did in January of 2021. Second job was... what was it... … Continue reading 2022-03-05 — Chipping Away

Hola, folks! I'm winding down a little earlier than I have been lately--it's not even 10:00, though it is very close to 10. Only did two cars today--each taking a lot longer than I expected. The first one was an alternator in a 2007 (I think) Toyota Avalon. Book time had it listed at only … Continue reading 2022-03-04 — Cut the What?

You know, sometimes my honesty bone is annoying. And sometimes my "make sure everything is 100% for the customer" bone is annoying, too. 🙃 That's sort of the story for the day today. I got up this morning, and I spent some time working to stay current with my 2022 financials (yes, I'm learning from … Continue reading 2022-03-03 — Overactive Conscience

Hola, folks! Sorry for the delay in yesterday's post. WordPress has been giving me fits the last couple of days, and I didn't realize it hadn't made my post from yesterday visible until earlier tonight when one of you asked if I was okay, not having seen my post. So... I got that straightened out … Continue reading 2022-03-02 — Lather, Rinse…

I keep forgetting to mention (at least I think I keep forgetting) that I've been on and over the edge for much of the last two days. Why, I don't know, but I just have been. This morning, I think it might have taken a toll on the emotion center of my little body, as … Continue reading 2022-03-01 — Some Days You Just Know

Finally got my donation in to Ukraine. The mobile version of the National Bank of Ukraine's website had a way to pay with a credit card, so I was finally able to donate. May it help. There's so much I wish I could do. I'm not a fighter. I'm a lover. But injustice makes my … Continue reading 2022-02-28 — Go Ukraine!

Hiya, all you wonderful people you. 🙂 Guess what?!?! Barring anything crazy or completely forgotten about, 2021 is now done. For the first time in my financial/tax efforts, I actually met one of my goals, and now it's done. Done!!! 🥳🥳🥳 I just have to copy the file for my accountant and send it off … Continue reading 2022-02-27 — The Great Purge

Good gravy, it's hard to find plane tickets to anywhere near Ukraine. Can't get anything in Belarus. Lublin is available, but really expensive. Warsaw is a bit cheaper. ... Anyway, today was a work-on-cars day. Three cars. Toyota Avalon, battery job. Hyundai Elantra, battery job. Then that really annoying alternator on the 2009 Nissan Murano. … Continue reading 2022-02-26 — Coming to a Close

I probably wrote about this a bit yesterday, but my justice bone has been on fire as I watch Putin mass murder who knows how many people in his campaign to take over/or do whatever he's planning to do with Ukraine. Just thinking about it... gets the blood a boilin'. Part of me is ready … Continue reading 2022-02-25 — Justice Bone
