    I've been there. Between working 40-50 hours a week at the full time job, pulling second shift after work and a Sat/Sun shift on my own various gigs, you just get spent at times. Not to mention the injuries and sickness from being wore out. It is what it is. I think I can count on one hand in 5 years how many full Saturday's I have had off. I'm driven though by certain goals I set for myself so the pedal stays on the floor. Body is starting to break down more often and I am quickly coming to realize I got to reel it in some with the heavy manual labor. Automate what I can as cash allows and shift gears into more ebay/resale items. More brains, less brawn if you will.
