Yes, it's Friday and yes I already posted something but that ended up turning into a rant.
So I got everything done yesterday that I needed to.
I got all of my computer work done and I started on a few more orders.
I'm about half way through the order of business cards order. They're actually turning out better than the first batch I did for this man. I'm very excited about it.
Then on top of that I got a few more orders for other things.
As you can probably tell from the previous post, I did not get station commander. So that had me rolling around two options. Quit or skip a level and go to lieutenant. I said I wouldn't make a decision emotionally and I won't. I am leaning toward Lieutenant though. I'm only missing one class and some practical skills. Not that I'm missing the practical skills, just rusty.
I'm super excited to say that the first order of herbalife ingredients will be here tomorrow. I can't wait to start doing the dry packs and I already have a few people lined up for them. I just need to make sure I'm right.
We have another week coming of cold but after that I'm hoping to be over with it. Once it is I'll be doing yard sales and setting up the shop. I have people interested in coming out and shopping so I'm looking forward to being able to put everything out.
Being in financial distress sucks just saying because you really want to speed everything up to make the money. It's a thing.
With next year now being in full question, I have decided to completely focus on this year and what I can do.
I need to find one class and start pumping engines and the tanker. If I can focus on all of that then I can see what the actual Lieutenant test will be as there is an actual test.
There is also still the EMS side of things. I will be looking to a friend to help me get two CPR classes under my belt so I can be certified in that. I want his teaching experience so I'm waiting for him specifically.
Things will be better. I just need to figure out a different roadmap.
I'll get there.
So today is a lot more computer work as we are now using my earnings to save. I can use what little I earn because we all know it's not that much lol to go toward the bills every month.
See, already planning again.
What are you up to?

I'm more excited about your shop business than anything else, go figure.
I get it might not be the most reliable source of income but it seems to be way more fun and rewarding than the station or the EMS.
Yard sales also sound great, especially since you know people are interested.
I have more stuff in the back of my mind than in front of me, and a lot of excuses. I hope I'll find a way out of this vicious cycle, otherwise it's all good here.

That was my problem for the longest time until I actually did something and it was rewarding. The problem with that was once I started I couldn't stop so now I have a million things to do on a daily basis and more to plan out along the way lol
You should check me out then lol. I'm easy to find over there and I just posted stuff again.

@somewitch lol oh I make my fair share of mistakes. Not to mention I'm doing all of this out of my house. I wish I had an actual shop plus everything else I'm doing. it's enough to make a sane person mad lol
