Sunday - night
I've been struggling for many days now. It started out as flu, that was confirmed by another family member actually going to the doctor and getting a diagnosis, they got it from me. Then it evolved into full blown bronchitis, which is something that completely knocks me out. Deep, painful coughing, difficulty breathing, sore throat, intermittent headaches and spaciness - not a good feeling I can assure you - and other things that have been going on. I know it's bronchitis because I eventually ended up going to the local urgent care and the doc didn't waste any time.
She gave me a steroid injection, some prescriptions and good to go. I have been working, yes, mostly because I had already had 4 days off - not asked for - just couldn't afford more time off. I'm trying to stay ahead in my finances. The steroid injection worked quickly and the coughing subsided quite a lot. It didn't go away completely and I am still having horrid coughing attacks, but it is better.
Did I say I don't like this new keyboard that came with this new computer? Yes, I did. It's a piece of junk.
So Trey took my chainsaw, a heater, gas cans, etc. I called him out on it, he denied it - lying is a way of life for him - and now I have to decide whether I want to file a complaint with the police against him.
The people that came in a month plus ago left. They didn't like my demands. You know, things like not having raw sewage pouring out onto the ground because of a broken hose? Bringing in more equipment without asking? Letting their 4 dogs run rampant all over the place? I didn't ask them to leave, I'm glad they're gone. They took an antenna with them that's mounted onto a pole that does not belong to them. I have already sent them two messages - bring it back. Ridiculous nonsense, just illustrates the need for a storage barn that only I have the key to. And secured with video surveillance.
I dunno what to do about that yet. I have turned away a lot of people in the last few weeks - at least 15 of them, all long term prospects, 4 of them actually made reservations online. That was a mistake, I don't do long term online. I could be close to having another 25 spots filled up by now. I have it figured out now. Half of the income would be expenses - at most anyway - the rest would be mine to keep. I'm thinking out loud about attempting get another loan or just get the barn on it's own loan. I really don't need any more payments right now without whatever the payments are going to bringing in extra revenue - a barn isn't going to do that.
Sometimes I feel like I'm getting to old to be dealing with all of this. Especially the part about people who are taking things that don't belong to them and getting away with it.
Anyway, just a quick update. It's getting late and yes, I do have work in the morning. I went down and loaded today, unload tomorrow and then I think another load Tuesday. I'll do that but tell the manager tomorrow that the truck needs serious attention and I can't really do any more without going up there first to have all of this addressed. It's what happens when you are driving old, junky trucks. They break down often.
