Easy comes, easy goes
Found myself a little extra money these past few weeks, between some spare change in the lottery, a few over the top tips and a personal favor that paid more than what I expected. Mazel tov! Right? What am I to do with this extra cash? Should I reinvest in the bottomed out market? Should […]

Enjoying the fat cows
Well, fully booked June has basically ended. Now comes fully booked July. Eight consecutive weeks of extra clients feels fucking great. Also, don’t even know if the whole “cow phrase” translated ok. It means that when times are good, there’s food on the table and cows eat more than their fair share, getting fatter and […]

From cooking winsauce to boarding the fail train in seconds
Had a great weekend, and now there’s a big Big BIG week ahead. I start with 100% of my regular full-time clients, plus work, personal responsibilities, AND a 1,600-mile road trip at the very peak of the gas crisis (right now, we’re at $5.19 per gallon, it’s fucking absurd). And, on top of it all, […]

Summer forecast: looking good
It’s a good thing I did a lot of trips in May (one more still to go next weekend) ’cause I’m pretty much booked solid till July. Clients Monday through Friday, plus activities and/or more clients during the weekend; a much needed revenue to pay the piper (IRS) and alleviate the weight of my traveling […]

When it rains it pours
Get this, I’ve been basically working non-stop 2 jobs since mid February. Needed the money, it was all part of the master plan. Mazel tov! Took me a couple of weeks to finally get into the daily rhythm of juggling my everyday life with work life with personal life with my other life (the one […]

All good things must come to an end
Can’t stop the flow of time. Days keep going one after the other. It’s inevitable. All of the sudden, your 5-day vacation is finished, and you’re setting up the alarm in bed because when you open up your eyes, normality will reign once again: waking up, brushing your teeth, coffee, work, lunch, procrastination, traffic, exercising, […]

In a bad mood? Me? Nah… Just haven’t slept in a week
If I don’t get a good night sleep today, it’ll be the 6th night (almost a whole week!) sleeping 5 hours or less, waking up to work full time and deal with all kinds of random bs that never happens on a regular day, but of course, they happen when I’m dead tire. “C’est la […]

The key to hating your job and still finding happiness
I don’t want to work today —> Who even wants to work +40 hours a week. But we gotta pay the bills. Literally work to survive. That’s the system we have in place. I mean, you can get some incentives and aids, but we all know they’re not enough or simply put, you won’t be able […]

New sleeping schedule just dropped with rave reviews
Tonight is the first night of what I hope will be my new schedule for a whole year till March 1, 2023 (only 9 days late, don’t judge. A lot has been happening recently). My goal for quite some time has been to wake up early, meaning, be up and running before 8am every weekday. […]

Don’t worry, it’s not COVID, nor the flu
Another day, another post. Can’t stop, won’t stop.Even when I don’t have anything to say, I have to say something. This one is different because I’m writing with bath tissues up my nostrils. Where I came from, in the Caribbean, seasonal colds were a myth. Here in Ohio, apparently it is as real as the […]
