Monday early
Coughed all night long, if I got 2 hours of sleep I'd be surprised. I was laying in bed after a night of sleeplessness and comparing it to the nightmare I experienced in Oregon. Yup, that's a reminder of the hell I went through? I'm going to go see a doctor if this continues. The boys are still coughing and have been coughing for a few weeks now. I do have antibiotics somewhere if I can find what I did with them. Start a Z pack and see what happens. They automatically give me that stuff anyway if I go to see a doctor.
So, it's going to be a long day. It may very well be that I get the truck loaded, get over the the Love's for fuel and then stop there and take a short nap.
Day 7 of Keto dieting, I have no clue whether it's working or not. My scale isn't working and I don't really care about that, it's the visual I am concerned with. If/when the fat starts coming off, that's when I know it's working. I don't have any test strips, however, to see if I"m in ketosis and I am interested checking that a couple of times per day. I ran out many days ago and just hate going to Walmart. They have the style of strips that I like, there are other kinds but I don't like them, they don't work the same for some reason.
The college kid - well, it turns out, his friends are staying in the trailer, which I knew, but I didn't know he wasn't home. They weren't answering the door, I don't know why. They know I know that they are in there. I don't really care, I just want my rent. I found the phone number, tried to call it with no answer. Sent a text message and then many hours later, the kid contacts me. I'm sorry! I wasn't looking for an apology and I wasn't coming down on him, I just want/need the rent, please. So, he sent it via cashapp and I'm good with that. Now for another character that hasn't been to his trailer in weeks.
Sent him an email, but I'm fixing to simply charge his card if I don't hear back from him soon. I'll give him another day, he's an actual, working adult who is sent around all over the place fixing damage to railroad tracks after derailments. You would be surprised how many derailments there are that simply don't make the national news. It's usually just a local event that is reported locally, unless there is significant damage and/or loss of life, then it makes the national circuit.
I need another renter. Just saying. The dude left a few days ago and now I'm considering running a Facebook boost ad to rent it. Would be nice to get another long termer like him, he was there at least 6 months. It's worth a few bucks for facebook to get someone in there that is going to stay.
I was just looking at a person's post in an RV lifestyle group that was complaining about a state park putting up glamping tents in regular RV spots. I get what she was saying, it's at a popular area in Florida where lots of rv'ers go to spend their winters. They took out 7 rv spots and put up wood decks and put up a canvas tent.
It was quite a plain setup and no, there are no toilets or sinks in these things, you have to go to the public facility to do that. There was a rug on the floor and the rest was just plain wood. I was a bit surprised at the plain-Janeness of the setup and still getting $165 per night for it. I would never be able to get that much out of one of those setups, I'm not in a location for that. But, I bet I could get $60 or $70 depending on how nice I set it up.
Not really sure what I want to do next, I just know I need to keep working to get caught up on just basic bills and then start to get ahead. Being off 20 days didn't help anything at all. It really set me back on getting start on the goal of saving and paying off debt at the same time. I also just realized today that I didn't get a sign-on bonus. They didn't offer one and I never even thought about it. Most companies are giving pretty decent bonuses to sign on with them. Couple thousand anyway. That would have been the shot in the arm that would have got me well ahead coupled with regular paychecks.
The only good thing about this job is the hours. As of lates, it's leave early and home early, leaving ample time to get other stuff done in daylight hours. I don't know how I got switched to morning runs, but I am liking it. I'd rather be done early than have to be done late. I hope that trend continues. Must be that the other guy would rather start later?? I'm sure he gets his say in all of this.
Well, the time to leave has arrived and I dont even feel tired. That will likely hit me later on.
G'day
