OMG!!! I never get to stay home anymore! I can't just drive to my next shop. The phone rings three times on the way there with a scheduler needing something done right away! My calendar is getting very full for October too. I will be doing my first video shops FINALLY at cell phone stores. Got five of them for $50 each. Yeah! Beats the $10 ones all to heck and back.
In September I started doing gas station image evaluation shops not knowing if I would physically be able to walk those parking lots. Well, 30 shops later, I devised a method and am still doing them. I take a few pictures until my heart needs a break. Then I sit in my car and start debriefing using my mobile hot spot and iPad. After I rest, I get up and take the rest of my outside pictures. Then I sit and rest. Then I go in and take my inside pictures, return to my car and finish debriefing. By the time I leave the lot, the shop is completely done and my heart is at rest while I drive to the next one. I've done as many as 6 in one day. For someone they've been trying to bury for five years, I'm not doing too badly, huh??? My doctor says I ought to be dead but I'm too stubborn to lay down. I just tell him, "God gets to decide when I don't wake up. Not you!"
I also did 20 banks, 30 pizzas, 26 other restaurants, and over $200 of phone shops. Also did 4 casinos. Starting to decide they aren't worth the time. They require lots of driving time and narrative when I could be doing something else. But one of the casino gives me a free night in the hotel. I do the shop at the casino and then use the hotel room as home base for shopping in Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert and all points south for two days. Lol.
A and Labor Day weekend I went to Vegas and won $500 in a slot tournament. Actually came home from Vegas with $650.
So, September has been awesome and October looks like it is heading that way!
Today I Will Choose Joy!
