I want to sign off... and I don't at the same time. Signing off feels like giving up. I don't want to give up. But I'm more broken than I ever thought I could get. As you all can clearly see if you've followed my blog for any reasonable length of time, I've just gotten … Continue reading 2023-07-27 — Farewell

So close!!! I was soooo close to breaking a record today. Sooooo close! I did nine cars, having one get postponed, otherwise I would have broken the record. I also had multiple jobs go quicker than I expected, which reduced the billable hours I was expecting as well. But hey, in the 13-hour work day, … Continue reading 2023-07-24 — Ever So Close!

Has it really been 10 days since I wrote a post?!?!?! 😶😶😶 😅 Sorry!!! I've been making changes, and I guess I haven't been telling you about them. Whoops 🙃 Or maybe I have? I'm trying out a two-day work week. 😁 Basically, the plan is to massively overload myself on Mondays and Fridays. The … Continue reading 2023-07-23 — Holy Crapoly!

Just another day, really. I went down to Farmington to look at a car first thing this morning. It was a 2015 Jeep compass that's supposedly was just in limp mode with a couple of codes, but when I went down there, I found that It had been in an accident both front and rear … Continue reading 2023-07-14 — Just Another Day

Good golly, Miss Molly! I believe I broke a record today. I did 10 service calls, logging 12.9 billable hours in a 13-hour-ish work day. 🥳 Yay!!! I killed it. I totally killed it. 😎 I've had some really successful days lately, which is pretty nice. Several days over the last few weeks I've been … Continue reading 2023-07-13 — 12.9

I don't remember almost anything about the 12th. 🙃 It was crazy hot, with me dripping sweat I think within 5 minutes of being outside as I was squatting by the lawn mower trying to figure out what was wrong with it. Gratefully, at least hopefully, I did figure it out. Looks like it has … Continue reading 2023-07-12 — Moral Dilemma?

Gosh it's hard to fathom how quickly time passes. I thought it had only been a few days since I had written my last post. Guess not. I've been struggling a lot lately. Really badly, actually. Guess I'll just summarize quickly what's gone on the last week for record-keeping’s sake. On the 6th, I did … Continue reading 2023-07-11 — Heat is On

Happy Wednesday! Hope you've enjoyed the day! Another super busy one over here. Eight more cars, though three of them were at the same location for my last job. Still not sleeping well. Still waking up early no matter how late I go to bed. And my stomach issue was a bit worse today. Not … Continue reading 2023-07-05 — Back at It

Holar, Peepses! I've had the privilege of traveling around the world quite a bit in my life. And I want to take this moment to say that as much as I'm discouraged by a lot of what's happening in our country right now, I'm still grateful to live in this country. It is still an … Continue reading 2023-07-04 — Happy Independence Day!

Wow. What a day. 😅 Somewhere, apparently I forgot my new five billable hours standard. I ended up overbooking myself and logging just over 11 billable hours on eight cars. 😶 I can't remember if I've ever done 11 before. I think maybe, but it was certainly a crazy busy day. Actually, the first seven … Continue reading 2023-07-03 — After Midnight
