Goodbye August

 What a great month I had! 

This month, I had car repairs done to my car and then got my car back. I ended up getting sick for a little over a week and half. We had my dad's birthday.

I will see you tomorrow for September 1st

September cash stuffing goals

 September is almost here and that means that it's time to start stuffing my Christmas/Birthday fund. 

This month we are going to stuff at least 900 dollars in the blinder which would be great.

New Car Cleaning list

 We have a new cleaning list for the car before we actually take it to work for the first time following the repairs.

Important must do:

* Wipe down every surface with wipes

* Clean windows

* Clean the entire car with a car wash

Small items:

* Put car seat covers back on the entire car

* Put car steering wheel cover on the wheel

* Put on the deer signals

* Set up dash cam

* Put back in car storage containers back into the trunk of the car

* Organize items back to where they go

I am sure that the list will be done by the end of the weekend. I am just super happy to have my car back.

Car repairs review part 3

 It's time to give an overall review with the car repairs shop. I have decided to break it down into parts and share my honest review on it.

Communication: I was not expecting to have that much because of what happpen last time. They did make me mad when I had to reach out to them more than once.

Repairs work: it looks to be done nicely. I must say that my car was not returned wash like it was last time so I will be taking it to get wash

Finished on time: I gave them until August 19th since my parents are leaving on September 3rd and I would rather be driving my car during that time instead of my mom's.

What I would do different next time find another shop.

Car repairs review part 2

 Part 2 is finally up! 

I finished writing the car accident, estimate appointment and drop off review and now we are back with the second part of this review.

Now before I go into the day-to-day review, I am just going to say that I really did not have high expectations because last time they let me down badly so lets see if they make it up to me this time.

August 3- After dropping off the car, I was fully expecting a message telling me the introduction that they gave me last time but there was nothing.

August 4- I finally got that message and still have no idea if they are full sure going to have my car done by the 19th.

August 5- no communication from them today. They are closed on the weekend so I am not expecting anything from them.

August 8- There was no communication from them today.

August 9- There was a phone call and a text message today.

August 10- There was a text from them saying that the repairs were coming along nicely.

August 11- There was no communication from them today.

August 12- I got a text from them saying that repairs were done and painting which means that I should be able to get my car back before the 19th which will be nice.

August 15- I had to reach out to find out if my car will be done or not early. They said that it would mostly be done on Wednesday.

August 16- I am still not sure but I got a phone call.

August 17- I got word that my car is finish and that means that it's time to go get it.

Be sure to stick around to see part 3

Car repairs review part 1

 I firmly believe in full honest reviews with places that I have gone and have exceptions for. Here is part 1:

June 16- After hitting a deer this morning, I took my car to get an appointment set up for estimate. I was told that they wouldn't be able to take a look at it until July 12th and would be able to send it in late July.

July 12- After going nearly a month since my accident, I finally was able to get it in for an estimate. First thing first, I have to admit being seen early is a good thing. Did the walk around to intake the damage from the deer hitting my car. What makes me mad was the fact that they were trying to say that both my light could be broken or my radiator was damaged but the fact remains that my car would have yelled at me by now. My car literally yells at me for anything and my senor for the light would have gone off. Told me that it could take two to two and half weeks without my car. It's unacceptable for you to sit there and act like I don't know where I hit the deer. You were not there. See where I live, We have a ton of hills and a few straight paths that I know that I was on the straight path. 

August 3- I pretty much told them that my car has to be finished by August 19th so we will see if it gets done on that day.

August 17- My car returned to me

Be sure to stay tune for the second part which is up tomorrow.

Day in the life: August 17, 2022

 Written on August 19, 2022

This morning I woke up with no voice, but I was determined to still go to work. I filled up my portable coffee mug with hot cider and went to work but not before stopping at Dutch Bros and to get gas. My voice was still gone by the time that I went to work so I asked if I could go home, and they let me around 10:15am.

I ended up catching up on big brother and watching this week's Raw before getting a text message saying that my car was done so we quickly headed down to go pick it up. I also did some laundry.

We got back home and just relaxed for the rest of the night.

Work Vlog: August 15 to 19

 Welcome back to another work vlog recap! This week I started the week with no voice so I am sure that the cold is still there.

Monday: Today was a good day.

Tuesday: Today was a good day but I still had no voice.

Wednesday: Today was a short day since I still had no voice.

Thursday: I stay home from work since I had no voice

Friday: Today was a good day at work. I did managed to go the whole day at work.

I will see you next week for another work vlog recap.

Return of the fair

 In the past two years, we did not have our Clark country fair at all. This year will mark the first year that we have one but here is the question is if we will go.

The answer is no. We just had too many things going on with the fact that my car is in the shop and that both my dad and I work the next day. Also, the fact that I am starting to get sick, it was just not the best idea for us this year. 

We will try to go next year

Work Vlog: August 8 to 12

This week, I went from having a style in my eye to a cold.  This week also turned into a four-day work week since I did not go on Friday.

 Monday: We had a pretty good day since today is the first day of the fact that i'm pretty much the lead teacher in the room now.

Tuesday: I finally got rid of the eye problem but noticed that I am starting to come down with a cough. Today was a good day.

Wednesday: Today was a good day.

Thursday: This morning, I started to feel a lot worse so I asked if I could go home early today. I was supposed to get prep time but it looks like that will be tomorrow.

Friday: I did not go to work today.

Day in the life: August 7, 2022

This morning, we got back to my aunt's house around 12am but we did not go to bed until 1:30am. I did not fall asleep until 2:30am and woke up around 9:30am. My eye started to hurt.

We managed to leave my aunt's house around 1:15pm and got home around 5pm since we hit three different traffic jams. I started to do laundry and just relaxed for the rest of the night.

Day in the life: August 6, 2022

 Written on August 6, 2022 

This morning, we got up and got ready to go to my aunt's house. We knew that we had about a three-hour drive ahead for us. We went to Dutch Bros and then went to Chase. We also got breakfast and gas before heading out of town.

We made it up to my aunt's house before 1pm and just relaxed for a couple of hours before heading to the Casino. There is a game that my mom hates me playing and I managed to win over 700 dollars and got to pay my mom back. They were not ready to head out and I end up only walking out with 60 dollars since I was bored. I should have just watched Netflix on my phone. 

Trip Up North

This weekend marked the first weekend that my car was in the shop, so we decided to go up to my aunt's house for the weekend.

Day in the life: August 3, 2022

 Written on August 5, 2022

This morning, I got up and ready to go this morning. I had to pick up my friend before going to work myself.

I got to work and actually managed to get off of work at 330pm so I went to dutch bros and then headed to drop off my car.

I had to wait for about an hour for my mom to get there so I decided to wait at Starbucks since the internet was not working at the repair shop so I was bored.

We went to the casino before heading home. I had to go to bed to start the day over again tomorrow.

Return to the water: July 24, 2022

 I was supposed to go to Salem however it got canceled the night before the trip so last minute I checked in with my other friend and found out that they were going to the Cottonwood beach and I haven't ever been so it was prefect. It was so great to be back in the water. I did end up getting a little sunburnt but that's okay.

This morning I got up and got ready to go to work. I knew that today was going to be a long day since I had work and babysitting.

I ended up getting off of work before 4pm and knew that it was going to be a long wait since I was going to babysitting at 5:30pm

I got dinner and then head back to the babysitting. The parents did not get home until 9:300pm and then it was time for bed.
