Whoop!! Been quite the week!

Lots of exciting things going on. Today was probably the most exciting. My shed was completely off kilter. It looked like someone lowered their shoulder and rammed full force into it. It was knocked off the foundation around 3 or 4 inches at least (wood base included!) and the doors were knocked in as well. I have no clue when it happened other then sometime in January or February. Someone took their frustration out in it I think. No clue who though.... Anyhow, I have a client that is a handyman and he got a new floor down today and got it all put to rights. Yay!!! In addition almost all the junk got taken out and taken care of. There's a couple of things I could yard sale that are left. Nice to have a well rounded client list! Handyman, Doctor, acupuncturist, it's pretty awesome! ☺️

There's a really neat mile tracker app called Mile IQ that I tested out so I could let my clients know what it was like. I actually heard about it from another client last year. I've never bothered with the premium though because I have always been pretty good about writing mileage down. Why spend $5.99 a month to do what you already do? However apparently they give it to accountants for free and then we can give our clients a 20% discount (if they don't already have the app). A win all the way around. So I guess I'll be using it after all! For free!!! Yay!!! I finally feel like I'm making progress with my work. The client I said I'd do weekly is being done weekly and those that I said I'd do monthly will almost all be done! There's some stragglers I'll need to bug but progress!!!

This last week has been cool and yesterday was quite wet!! My area got over an inch of rain. I'm very, very glad that I didn't water the raspberries!! They tend to get water tasting with too much water. I'll pick them tomorrow. More jam on the way!! Lots of lettuce to pick and lots of peas to pick as well! I munched on a few raspberries and peas today but it was just too wet to pick. Sooo yummy!!! Love eating out of the garden!! I'm going to try planting some potatoes in a container that would normally be used to store things. The squirrels ruined it so I thought, why not. It already has holes for water drainage and I have some purple potatoes I'd like to plant. So perfect way to test it. (Saw the suggestion on Pin Interest)

The one bummer part is that vertigo has decided to visit me. I didn't get to Parma because of it. I did find out that car sickness medication does an awesome job of getting it under control! If I have it in the morning I just take a Dramamine and it's gone for the day. If it's still around in a couple of weeks I'll mention it to my doctor. But nice to have an easy solution!! The first day it hit I couldn't walk across the room without feeling nauseated. No fun!!
