Car's Ready - I'm Not...

My car has been fixed and waiting for me for 2 days. I'm waiting on $$ to arrive, so I can go get it and be driving again. There's a full tank of gas waiting to be driven up.

My back went out 3 days ago, now. I twisted instead of turning my feet, and I'm paying for it. Ibprophen and Aleve. Not at the same time, but when the Ibus weren't working, I went to Aleve. I get about an hour of relief in every 12.

I feel like a vulture, checking the bank accounts twice and three times a day.

I bought 3 lottery tickets yesterday. I thought the drawing was last night (by date it should have been) but he lottery website said tonight. The tickets are dated for last night's drawing... The third ticket is for Saturday. It's a different drawing, different jackpot. The entire experience of purchase was a let-down. You used to be able to pick your numbers. Now, it's all randomized. I feel removed from it. Not like gambling used to be for me, at all!

If I win, it would be great!

Yikes! Car Troubles...

If there is one thing that gets me going faster than car troubles, I can only think it's money. Car troubles have got to be the worst, next to bouncing a check!

Getting stranded, strange sounds or fluids coming from places they shouldn't be coming from. All this is more than I can handle.

My car has been getting harder and harder to start. The "check engine" (idiot light) has been on since I bought the car, and all the mechanics said it was the oxygen sensor, and no big deal. So, now, when the car is doing things it shouldn't be doing, nobody is helpful.

I want a car without problems. Yeah, Right! If it's got a motor, penis or a checkbook, it's gonna cause trouble...

KEW - Again!

Rachel blew me away again tonight, with her incredible insights into marketing. You really need to join this group ($10mo) and get access to the videos. Only women, though. Rachel won't let any men join. When you see the videos, you will understand.

Anyway, Another great meeting!

Other marketing and advertising guys will give me silver or bronze, but Rachel will give me gold!

Oh! And we get to play "Cash Flow - The Game" starting next month! If you're in town, come play with us....

Woo Hoo! New Brakes!

I got to get new brakes on the front of the car last night. It feels much better!

I don't see the parking brake flopping on and off with every curve in the road on the way to work...

Yep! I stopped in yesterday to make the appointment for next week, and he said he could do it in an hour - and I asked if he could do it right then. He could. He's a good guy. The price was just what he quoted, and the car is running right.

Don's Tire on Western...

Thanks, Randy - (that's the owner)...

Bills getting paid...

I got paid for some work that I did and was able to pay two bills, and schedule much-needed work on the car.

I need brakes! If I can't stop, better not go...

SO...

Brakes on the car. I have 2 more big bills this month, and all the little ones. All I can do is keep at it.

I'm continuing to apply at jobs full-time, and hope to land one that pays enough to take it.

I'm grateful for the little job I have, for sure. I resent it a lot, too, because it takes over the most-productive time of my day, and I feel so tied down.

A friend says I'm scattered. Maybe so. I'm looking at that. I have the cats, the SEO, the job, the body work... Then there's the stuff at the house...

Maybe I am scattered, and don't have enough attention or intention on any single part of my life.

The universe will only get behind me and push if all my energy (or the majority of it, anyway) is concentrated into one section of my life. Is that going to be the cats? The SEO? My health?

Or is that going to be: seeking a job that keeps food on the table but curtails all my creativity?

What a choice! Security or creativity. My creativity is so important to me. Without it, I become depressed and morose. Morbid, even!

Am I content to be a second- or third-class webmaster on a cat site? I can't give it up.... Can I???
