Turning out to be a rather good week!
Bought a car yesterday. A '91 Camaro for only $650! It runs. It does have a knock which the previous owner could not figure out. Neither could I but doesn't seem to be a bearing or valve. I'll figure it out eventually.
The car would have sold long before I even got to see it but all the New Mexicans that went to see it wanted a perfect vehicle for that price. At that price, I'm happy it runs! It also has good tires which will last a long time, a recently replaced alternator and a new $130 battery. Looks decent. In short, I was the only one not seeking a handout.
The woman who sold it to me said I was also the only person she spoke with about it that had manners. However, she and her husband are Texans and our idea of manners are a much higher standard than here. It felt really good talking with a Texan!
Sent the mattress pad back and Amazon is refunding the money. Plus they paid for return shipping. Means I should be able to get a different mattress pad soon.
Was offered and accepted a shift which starts an hour earlier. That means an hour of sunlight after work, so I should be able to complete the entire solarium within one week or less. Just in time for colder weather! It also gives me a greater chance of hitting 70 cases per day soon.
However, I hit 62 cases today. Learned a few tricks which help. All completely honest and ethical, doing things properly. It does help that my typing speed has improved. I may hit 70 cases tomorrow if calls come in fast enough early in the day.
Regaining my energy and getting back to normal. Cut wood for daughter's bed. Because I changed the design a little bit, I ran short of wood. So can't assemble it yet. Get the remaining wood this weekend and build it. Shouldn't take too long. Cut the wood before work this morning.
This morning, I also cut some stakes. Then measured and laid out dimensions for the solarium. During lunch, I used the tiller and dug post holes for supports. Still a few to go but can start mixing concrete and setting posts in the morning.
So, when adding in the floor in daughter's room, this has been a really productive week. I'm really happy about it!
