It is bedtime at last. I got an alert on Uber today for a ride from Preston to Logan. I could not believe it! I have been logging in for something like three weeks now and not had anything. There is a promotion running for any ride starting in Preston, and it gets a $30 bonus. So of course I was going to take it. Turned out to be a young couple who had been in a wreck in town and needed to ride to the car rental. I am glad they were not hurt.
After I got them to the place in Logan, I stayed logged in and took what came up for the next like eight hours, till I got too tired to want to carry on. As it turned out, I made about $250 all together on Uber and Door Dash. It being Valentine’s Day there were flowers to deliver for the lovers and cake and ice cream for one for the lonely. There were lines of drivers in many of the restaurants. I took orders from McDonald’s and 7/11. I took orders to couple and families and college students in dorms. I think the snow helped, honestly. Logan kept me busy today. I have got to admit, if I could earn like this every weekend, I could do this job for my hobby job and then make all week in the shop for the markets and websites. It would be good enough. I plan to go in tomorrow and see what a normal day looks like bouncing between two apps like I did today. This was really promising. We don’t need a lot to live. We want to live a lot. I am happy with how today went, overall. It was not bad for starting when I felt like it, finishing when I felt like it, taking a break when I felt like it, and going like crazy when I felt like it.
All that said, I am tired now, and need some sleep. I look forward to the freedom this has bought me to keep the Door Dash app on during the week and take a few orders here and there in Preston, then spend the rest of my time driving the girls back and forth and working in my workshop. I think this could work out to keep us fed. That would be nice.
