It’s now Sunday evening and my weekend is coming to a close. Sometimes I sit and reflect on what I’ve been doing to keep me busy and I feel like I’m not doing enough. But when I look at all I’ve crossed-off of my lists, I’ve been doing a whole lot.

My Saturday got off to a rocky start although I did start it at 8:30am, which is very good for a weekend morning of mine. Although I think to myself “what would Jesus do?” in many situations I face in life, when it comes to business I think “what would Trump do?”. And I bet that he gets no more than 5 hours of sleep nightly and starts his mornings at 5:00am. So I’ll have to work on that. But anyway, on Friday I noticed that my serpintine belt was shredding on my car, so on Saturday I took it in to Car-X. I was prepared for a minimal charge of less than $100. Turns out, I needed a new tensioner too, so I walked away $250 broke-er. It’s all good though; misc repairs here and there beats the hell out of a car note, so I’ll take it.

The rest of Saturday; I was able to get to Commerce Bank and get another Business account setup (I already have one with Bank of America). Having a local bank account will definitely come in handy when it comes to depositing checks, since there isn’t a local BofA branch here (don’t ask me why not) it would be a huge hassle mailing deposits in. Also, the guy at the local branch who I deal with is a good guy to work with, so perhaps the rapport built with him will pay off in the near future.

Also on Saturday I went to the DMV after forgetting that my plates expired at the end of June. So that was another $100 out of hand. And on top of that my dentist just sent me a bill for another $100, what the hell is that all about? It looks like my insurance declined to pay for some routine things, so I’ll probably have to waste a couple hours of my life just to get to the bottom of that! Time robbers!

Today, I got some random things done like cleaned up the office/apartment, washed the car, got some office supplies from Staples, performed some maintenance on Twitter, and went to the Gym.

It’s 11:00pm, but I still hope to get a few things done tonight before I ‘call it a night’ (usually around 2:00am). Although I made the video about Mozenda, I still need to complete my screen-scrape for the Owner-Occupant property owners in Champaign.

By the way, the CTO/Founder of Mozenda actually emailed me on Friday and thanked me for the unsolicited publicity. I thought that was pretty cool. He actually is offering me a credit towards the subscription service too. This just goes to show the power of the web. You never know who is paying attention to you.

I’ve got other updates, but I’m tired of typing and I’ve only got a few hours before I need to go to sleep. I’ll post about them later. So peace out.
