Like many of the other days, I don't remember much of what happened from the 22nd through the 24th. I struggled a lot. I do remember that. Fighting off negativity and mild depression. I don't think I really got much of anything done. I just felt overwhelmed mostly, drowning with so much pressing down... But, … Continue reading 2023-08-24 — Some Wins, Some Losses

For the life of me, I couldn't tell you what I did on the 19th and the 20th, other than that I'm pretty sure I mowed the lawn on the 20th. 🙃 There's the usual stuff. Poke around the garden a tiny bit with my mom here and there to see what all is out … Continue reading 2023-08-21 — She Blew A Gasket

Whoops! Sorry!!! I keep forgetting to write. I'd even missed a couple of work days. 😬 Of course, work days have been a good bit crazier lately than usual, and having long ago broken my once nearly perfect habit of writing every night before I went to bed, I just seem to keep... slipping. So, … Continue reading 2023-08-18 — Ford Day.

Yes. Yes, I did. Today, I took my revenge. Granted, it needed to be done anyway, but after dealing with some pretty intense pain last night, and with the stings still hurting, though not badly, this morning, I rolled my little butt out of bed, well out of my recliner, that is, and I set … Continue reading 2023-08-17 — Revenge

Sleeping was an absolute nightmare last night. I had perhaps my worst night since I've had this weird stomach/esophagus issue. I was in pain pretty much all night, and ended up waking up at whatever hour of the middle of the night and staying up for a couple hours doing research on the condition that … Continue reading 2023-08-16 — Yellow Jackets

No solid foods after midnight. No liquids after midnight... With the exception of little sips of water. But not even that allowed after 6:00 a.m. with my procedure scheduled for 11:00. Gratefully, the Taco Bell and popsicles managed to bring up some symptoms again, so I woke up with at least some symptoms. I was … Continue reading 2023-08-15 — Nothing?!?!?!

Six 🚗, plus my own 😬, in this edition of Manic Monday! Ready? Begin! The first car on the list today was a 2007 Honda Odyssey in Pea Ridge that needed an alternator. I had the alternator ready, and I've done that job so many times that it's almost second nature at this point. The … Continue reading 2023-08-14 — Tensioner +11.25

Saturday and Sunday are blurs. I'm disappointed that I'm not keeping better track of what's going on. It's nice to be able to go back and look at what was going on, things that happened in my life on particular days, and when I miss days, it almost feels like avoid, something lost. Anyway, I … Continue reading 2023-08-13 — They’re Just Babies

Hey! Even with some pretty good discounts, I managed to get more than 12 billable hours. 🥳 Another Freaky Friday in the books! Just car stuff to talk about today, like usual for manic Mondays and freaky Fridays. 🙃 First car was a 1997 Toyota T100 that needed a radiator and radiator fan replaced. Customer … Continue reading 2023-08-11 — Another Freaky Friday

I can't really remember Tuesday or Wednesday right now. It's a blur. I know that I pretty much just been doing to-do list things all week. Working on trying to simplify and get done the things that have been hanging over my head. I've continued to work on sifting through all the piles of paperwork … Continue reading 2023-08-10 — I don’t remember
