God keeps providing. Just picked up four more shipping shops for Tuesday if they get assigned. Short drive up into southern Indiana to do ReadyPost ones. Will mail Jelly Beans to my grandkids that I will get for half price tomorrow. lol

Hopefully I can pick up some other stuff while I'm up there, but nothing is happening right now. Will see if a fabric store goes up in fee in next couple of days.

Staying home with sick granddaughter tomorrow and gonna clean my room. I could do the shipping tomorrow but I need a day off.

I had two mall Mexican restaurants today for a total reimbursement of $30 with the two malls less than a mile apart. Got there and the malls were closed for Easter. lolol Sooooooooo I took a nap and relaxed most of the day. I have three more reports to write tonight to catch up. Tomorrow off by choice and maybe by then that fabric store will increase some.

If my car was fixed I'd have plenty of work doing apartments with anyone as target near Cincinnati but no car means no long trips.

Waiting to see what happens on the gas shop routes that CRI is assigning. They didn't have one in Louisville but Ron is hoping for the one in and around Lexington and another in south eastern KY around Somerset. About 80 shops each along roads he travels all the time anyway. That would be an awesome blessing. Add a motel shop or two and we'll have us a party on the road several times over three months.

Patience, patience patience. But we want to know right now!!!!

I've done $800 in mystery shops this month. Can't see myself keeping it up though!

I may be slow this week by choice but I'm set for the next two weeks. I picked up a gas route from CRI and 30 bank shops for another MSC. Waiting to find out about more gas shops from the new company. Unfortunately, the gas route is in an area of the state where not much other shopping goes on. I'm going to find a motel shop or two down there. I have 3 months to do 83 shops and I have to do about 28 each month. I can do that many in two days. lol

Maybe I can find some bank shops down there! That would add in some value to the route! Or shipping shops! Or, or, or or......

Can you tell I'm excited!

For the rest of this month I have a Hardees, a Cheddars, and three Tumbleweeds. Lots of food and not much else. Still looking. I have bronchitis though so I'm enjoying the lull.

Spending some time catching up on filing, setting up a coupon system, and teaching my daughter how to scan and resize pictures. That could come in handy and I can throw a little cash her way for helping me some. She has heart disease and seldom leaves the house, but she loves playing with my computer.

Slow month schedulers are scrambling....
got called for a bonus.... shop not to far from me so the scheduler says and oh there is a bonus. How far I ask. Oh just 45 miles ( one way). So for 90 miles for a less than $10 shop how much is the bonus I ask? Oh we can give you THREE DOLLARS!
I think not! Another company that thinks gas is free.

Again, it was slow this week with only restaurants to do, but next couple of weeks will find me flying and Ron too. More shipping shops just hit my board for $12 for scenarios A and B. Hopefully we can get a bunch of those again and do them going from bank to bank.

Next week,
15 banks
Assigned 5 shipping shops
Unassigned YET 9 shipping shops
1 trip to the zoo (We have a membership and get reimbursed for $15 of snacks and pizza)
2 Carry Out Pizzas
1 Mexican Lunch
4 big box electronics
3 plus size retail stores for new clothes for a smaller me!

In Two weeks:
Ron will start the gas route and I've got lots of FF and 15 more banks.

Please God! Let me have my car back! It's been over a month now of using one car to do two cars worth of work. Creative scheduling. lolol

Not you, Canada

This month hasn't been great for me. But I'm already working on my schedule for next month. Its looking pretty good.

Already had two mall cafe Tumbleweeds on my list for tomorrow. I'll take that food home! Just picked up Panera Bread in one of the same malls for breakfast. Then I'll run across the street to Best Buy. Had to get some ink for the printer anyway. Then "poof"....there's a warranty shop. Gotta buy a blender for $30+ and get paid $15 for the "warranty check" shop. I can return it at one of my other Best Buy shops next week. Will have $60 on a gift card for more ink later. lol But the warranty shop was a blessing. Come to think of it, if the blender is only $30, I need a blender. But not for much more than that.

Well....I gotta grocery shop and pick up a friend for a lunch date. A shop of course. At Cheddars. Yummy!

Been busy but went away for a week to visit the inlaws; on the way home through San Francisco airport picked up a 2 part Mexican restaurant in the international terminal that paid 15 bucks each time plus reimbursement for alcohol and food I took on the plane. And as a bonus they paid my expenses to get to the airport (my tolls). This weekend is insane however. I can't complain, fill up at Costco and have to do all the shops in clumps and yes, I agree - a 2 dollar bonus isn't getting me going 45 miles away.

My 83 shops for the gas route turned out to be 69 but still includes the one nearly in West Virginia and the two on the Ohio River on the way to Cincinnati. lol If they were gonna exclude some it would have been nice if it were those three. The other thing is instead of three months, they are due June 30th which in my calculations is two months and 2 days away. I will do half by May 31st and the the other half by about June 15th in order to have a chance on redoing them. And I'll be reallllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy careful in Ashland. lol If I screw one up in southeastern Ky I can get back there on another shopping run. Ashland is 187.5 miles from my apartment.

Told the mechanic if he doesn't fix my car in the next two weeks, I'm not picking it up at all. lol I'll give the money to a car dealership and buy a car. If he can't fix the car in 6 weeks, I'm not sure I'd want to drive it! He said it was being painted tomorrow but it's not ready? grrrrrrrr.

Oh well....I'm going to focus on the work I have for the next two weeks and choose to feel blessed. We better not loose anymore work because this mechanic doesn't come to work until noon. Like I said...I wanna mystery shop this mechanic!
