That's a bummer Honny, I haven't had a good milkshake in years and keep looking for one to try.

Today's shops were badly scheduled: an insomnia coffee shop, a morning hardware store, and a late lunch shop.

Out of the blue I got a call with another $100 bonus to do an easy bank shop that should have been done LAST quarter. As it happens, it is near two garages that I can shop any day in august. So, I am starting my August shops several days earlier than anticipated. So much for catching up on personal errands and housework!

JITB (good pay), I'll eat 5 fries and take half of the bun off....as later I have a Bar audit with appetizers and two different drinks, not being a drinker (just one), we'll see how I handle this. Hoping the Bartender doesn't give me a free one as has happened.

I rescheduled a desperately needed car wash shop due to rain. It hasn't rained yet.

Tomorrow is a bank account, coffee and burger.

I had to move yesterday's planned bank shop and garage into today. Both had flexible due dates. In addition, I have finally snagged one of those online shops of 14 different lenders. Did 6 yesterday. Plan to do at least 4 today and then wrap that up tomorrow. The MSC contact is super helpful and supportive.

I had a We Go Look scheduled for 10am this morning. The address they gave me was wrong, so my GPS took me to the wrong community. I had The Guy on the phone directing me to his house. When I got there, he said, "This happens all the time." He could have started by giving me his actual, correct address.

After that was an account opening, a coffee shop and a burger shop.

Had lunch with a friend for an Urban Plates shop and then did a alcohol compliance check at Trader Joe's.

~Nice lunch at a fancy place, for which the $60 was not enough to cover the minimum ordering requirements (and alcohol was not ordered). Special treat for me and my adult daughter.

~Chevrons, Carl's Jr, LEGO and mailing shops too.

You can always get more money by simply asking. If they offer $8, counter with $10. If they offer $12, tell them for $15 you’ll have it entered in 3 hours for them.

There are so many people that take these jobs a base rate for this company they absolutely have an extra couple of bucks for you.

Today was a We Go Look with another bad address, a hardware store and 5Guys.

For the hardware store, I could not find my hardware.

It's a miracle! Minutes before my merch task I walked a short distance outdoors and through sun glare. It felt as if the light were incising my head, and a migraine was born. Looking wretched, I soldiered on, not caring that I likely would be mistaken for a customer mess, and hoped that I could complete my task before the cleaning crew came along and swept me away from the place.

As it turned out, due to circumstances unknown, the task was not possible and I and my migraine were free to leave almost immediately.

DH is enjoying his $200 cologne. Why did it have to be a men's purchase?

I did 7 convenience store shops, 1 Dunkin Donuts, 5 post offices, and 3 Sam's Club merchandising visits. All that with a swollen face from a toothache (my dental appt. is in the a.m.). No work tomorrow!
