Hey everyone, today’s vlog is all about winding down before my surgery next week. I’m turning in the Tesla rental since it doesn’t make sense to keep it for half a week. I plan to borrow my aunt’s CRV and run Uber X over the weekend until Tuesday. It’s been a laid-back day with no specific goals, just cruising through Boca Raton and reflecting on the journey. I’m enjoying the slower pace, especially since it’s a slow season for Uber rides.

I kicked off the day with a guaranteed $150 from my private ride, making it easier to hit my $200 daily goal. Despite some slow days, I managed to stay afloat with airport runs and local rides in Boca. Swim week is starting, and even Uber X rides are coming from luxury hotels to fancy restaurants. It's funny seeing how the clientele changes during this season.

On the way, I talked about the differences between driving a Tesla and a regular car, the importance of keeping things stress-free, and mentally preparing for the surgery. I’ve also noticed how the Uber landscape shifts with the seasons, and it’s been a mix of regular rides and some surprising ones.

Towards the end of the vlog, I shared my thoughts on the surgery and the temporary break it’ll bring. I’m planning to stay at my mom’s place to recuperate, and it’ll be a time for reflection and possibly picking up some real estate studies again. Thanks for joining me on this journey, and wish me luck for the upcoming weeks. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe!
