Good Business

Hello, World!

I have been really busy this past week. I got a REALLY big shipment of Skin-So-Soft Bath Oil in.

At the diner where I work, we are now open at 50% capacity to comply with the governor's EO. But, even at 25%, I think our business has doubled. We do more on graveyard shift now than we did before the virus came around.

I know I am TIRED when I get home in the mornings! But, it is nice to be working a normal schedule again.

I have about $60 worth of Avon to deliver. I haven't been able to get out much to sell, though.

My stock market account has grown over $100 more since last week. Right now I am focusing on getting rid of stocks that aren't working for me. I have to be careful with how I do that, because if I get rid of a bad stock too soon, it is called a "wash sale" and that prevents me from getting the tax break I should have for taking the loss. I am gaining more than I am losing, though.

Cannabis stocks are rising though. I guess the news that Cannabis has a positive effect on the treatment of COVID-19 has had an effect on the stock market value.

I got new shoes, but I am not happy with them. They just aren't as comfortable as my old shoes were. I'll get another pair next week.

I hope you all have a blessed day!

Coronavirus, Stocks, Internet Predators, Toilet Paper

Hello, World!

My trainee has been out sick, so it's just been me cooking at the Pitt Grill this week. I hope he's back by Monday!

Monday and Tuesday is supposed to be my days off. If I am allowed to keep those days off, I may be having Pizza and a movie with a friend.

I've been having trouble sleeping lately. I'll come home, sleep for 3 hours, then I have to get up to use the bathroom and let the dogs out. Then I can't sleep, so I stay up. Then I try to take a nap before work...

I've been getting about 4-5 hours sleep a day and it is starting to wear me down. Yesterday, I only got three.

So, this morning, after I got off work, I went to the store and bought me some Advil PM. It helped. I got up once to use the restroom, then went back to bed to finish sleeping. I got a full 8 hours! I needed it!

I made sure to take my vitamins today, too.

This Coronavirus scare has gotten out of hand. There is no toilet paper on the shelves. Why? What does toilet paper have to do with the Coronavirus? Seems to me that people should be buying bleach, not toilet paper!

And, the Stock Market has gone lower than it has EVER been due to this Coronavirus scare. Not sure what the Stock Market has to do with it, unless people are selling their stock thinking they are gonna die. Me, personally -- I'm looking at it as an opportunity. The stocks are going to go back up eventually. It's not going to crash because too many people aren't taking the scare seriously (as they shouldn't -- I mean, c'mon! It's just another virus. It only effects people who have low immune systems. JUST LIKE ANY OTHER VIRUS!) So, I'm buying all the stocks I can at the lowest price possible!

Today, one of my stocks went up from .55c/share to .88c/share. I own 10 shares of it. It was over a $3 gain.

I don't have much to invest, but I am investing SOMETHING every payday. I figure, by the time I retire, I should have a sizable nest egg if I do it right.

If anything, it should cushion me if I lose my job again. LOL

You would think, though, with people being so scared of this virus, they would stay home more. We've been REALLY busy at the Pitt Grill! But, don't worry, we wash our hands a LOT, and Luanne does a great job of bleaching all the booths and door handles every day. I even mop with bleach! And, all of our dishes are getting bleached!

Ya'll make sure you watch your babies! ESPECIALLY online! When they are online, they do not need privacy, they need GUIDANCE! There are a lot of monsters out there who use the internet to prowl on children -- and you don't know who they might be! It is heartbreaking to the victims and their families!

The election is getting interesting. The Democrats have no viable candidates, and it is doubtful the ones they have are worthy of beating Trump! JMO. But, if there is any doubt as to whether or not the Democrat mindset is socialist, just look at who is winning: Bernie is OPENLY socialist!

This election is not about corruption. It's about turning this country away from a free enterprise system. It's about taking the guts out of the Constitution. It's about turning it from a Republic to a Communist government.

Remember that when you go to the polls.

Have a blessed day!
