I am still unable to drive for Uber since the accident that happened on 03/25/2023. Today, I edited some video that will go up on YouTube
tomorrow or the next day. I still haven’t been able to ride the Peloton for a while now. I think I last was able to ride like a week ago or something. I have a used screen coming on 05/11/2023 I can’t wait. On top of being unable to drive for Uber, I can’t exercise for 2 more days! Tomorrow I will shoot an email to summer at the collision center and ask her what time is good to drop off the courtesy vehicle and pickup Ruby. Summer did the right thing by getting me that courtesy car, so I leave her alone. Tomorrow I will probably just shoot her a 1 liner.

I am still unable to drive for Uber since the accident that happened on 03/25/2023. It has been a while since I drove for Uber. I went
grocery shopping today, when we moved in here
groceries for me and my mother for 1 week would
cost 75-85 bux. Today groceries for us was like $116.00. What a difference and that is just for two people. More people in a family cost more money.

I am still unable to drive for Uber since the accident that happened on 03/25/2023. Today is Sunday, usually the last day of the week driving for Uber. I have a courtesy vehicle
from Maher that I try to drive as little as possible because it too is a gas guzzler.
It’s good to have something to drive when you need it, I am very grateful don’t misunderstand. But it gets like 24.4 MPG that is horrible. There are a lot of people that think that is actually good! Today I saw gas here in FL was $3.49 a gallon. That is actually very high for FL. I remember when I saw gas jump 1 day like .39 cents, I was like dang! That is a pretty big increase, then the next day it jumped up by even more than that. Uber
Started to charge a “temporary” fuel fee of .55 cents per trip, which is basically like nothing. I used that in conjunction with Get “upside” which is a good way to get some of that money back, so if you take those .55 cent scrap and then you add upside to that you may be able to save like .20 per gallon.

I am still not able to drive for Uber since the car accident on 03/25/2023. I got on the Peloton to ride it the other day and the screen (they call it the tablet) just kept prompting for an update so I would do it. It has done that before so I didn’t think anything of it, just ride for 20 minutes anyway and then get off. This time though it was not prompting me to log in it just kept looping after it would download and then install that update and reboot over and over again. So I chatted in to support and we did about 15 minutes of troubleshooting and then he told me, since I am out of warranty, it is going to run me $650.00 plus tax because I need a new screen. I was like no let’s try something else lol. So my Peloton is down and it is driving me crazy, I love to hate that thing. I got an email from Maher today that the wrong part was sent for my car, so Ruby won’t be ready until 05/11/2023, but the last I am working with at Maher said she reserved a courtesy vehicle for me to drive after this Friday. So that was cool of her, and Maher collision to do that. So on top of the precision work that they do there, there also good people and they help when they can. Usually they are really fast. I understand that sooner or later something happens that is out of our control. I am just fortunate that a car was reserved for me!

I am still unable to drive for Uber because of the accident on 03/25/2023. Today is Sunday which for the past 5 years has been a real good driving day almost always. I get Ruby/my car back Tuesday 05/02/2023. I will finish that Tuesday and I will take pictures of all 4 sides Tuesday afternoon and be back driving for dollars on Wednesday 05/03/2023 and this coming Friday will be an oil change Friday. It sure is a good thing that the entire world and all the incoming bills stop in the event of an accident! Eye-roll.

I am still unable to drive since I was in a car accident on 03/25/2023. I stuffed and mailed another 60 envelopes today. I have been trying to hold off on processing any more envelopes because after I send them, I may need to make a change. It was either process more envelopes or
read something so I processed and mailed another 60 envelopes, I applied the stamps on them manually which should help with the open rate. Today makes 180 total envelopes sent.
Out of a total of 258, I expect about 10% to
bounce back as undeliverable. Hopefully 1% will convert and the rest will prolly end up in the trash can. But, you never know.

I am still unable to earn/drive for Uber since the 03/25/2023 accident. Today is the 29th and there is 31 days in March but only 30 in April so far it has been like 35 days since I was able to drive for Uber. I am so glad that the entire world comes to a screeching halt when that accident happened. Because if all them bills just keep coming while I can’t work that would suck!

Post for Thursday 04/27/2023

I forgot to blog last night it seems.
So here is the post I should have done yesterday. I am still unable to drive for Uber since the accident on 03/25/2023. I think I saw yesterday that Ruby will be ready for pickup and will be completely repaired on 05/02/2023 which is cool because my rental car coverage runs out the next day. I went to an appointment in Pinellas today and as usual, I drove the gas guzzler. Every time I drive that thing, I have to put a $20.00 in the tank. That car is expensive to drive. Today it said on the highway it was getting 23.1 MPG. To a lot of folx that is considered pretty good gas mileage. I think that gas mileage is horrible! If Ruby got gas mileage like that, I would definitely think there was something wrong.

I am still unable to drive for Uber since
the car accident that happened on 03/25/2023
Maher collision said they would be done with
my car repair on 05/03/2023. Then they sent an update today and said my car will be finished on 05/02/2023 which would be cool. I have been home since 03/25/2023. I haven’t put any fuel in Ruby since the morning of 03/25/2023 and I went grocery shopping in her twice, went to Palm Harbor then dropped her off at Maher collision in St. Petersburg and I will pick her up next Tuesday and she will still have like 200 more miles to go probably. That mustang I have for a rental is a gas guzzler. I wanted the smallest 4 door they had and I got this
thing instead. It has apple car play which is
pretty cool. I like apple car play a whole lot!
I sent out 60 letters today for The One in Downtown St Petersburg Florida. There is a total of 253 units in that building in total. So I have like 200 letters to go. I am using my Pony Stamps to send them. “Scared money can’t make no money.” lol. No money can’t be scared so here we go! I sure hope this works!

I am still unable to drive for Uber since the accident on 03/25/2023. Today is the 23rd of the month, I weigh myself every /3rd of the month that was exactly 1 month after my Peloton was fixed. Anyway, I think in November I weighed myself and I saw that I was over 250LBS so I stopped getting rise in me bowl at Chipotle (and I love rice) I started doing a lot of things differently and I lost over 10 lbs in a month. Today I weighed myself and I am 264.2 lbs! I was like huh? That is with me riding the Peloton twice a day too. I have been eating Ice cream and all kids of junk food and sitting around and now I am fat!
