Hey, everyone! Today started as a lazy Monday, but I decided to pick up the camera and share my day with you. I kicked things off around 4 PM, freshly shaven and ready to tackle the afternoon. Even though my weekend was uneventful, I had a funny encounter with a passenger named Luigi, which made my day a bit more interesting. As usual, I roamed around Miami, hitting the usual spots like downtown, Wynwood, and Miami Beach.

I faced the usual ups and downs of a rideshare driver. The airport was unpredictable, and I had to make quick decisions about whether to continue or call it a night. I even considered focusing solely on Lyft to hit a bonus, but of course, nothing goes smoothly. My camera decided to act up after a car wash, and I spent a good chunk of the vlog trying to troubleshoot it. It's frustrating, especially when you're trying to maintain a consistent upload schedule.

Throughout the day, I navigated through Miami, stopping at my parents' house for some home-cooked food and chatting about the recent tropical storm. I also shared my thoughts on the current state of rideshare driving, dealing with the unpredictability of airport pickups, and the challenges of balancing multiple gigs. Despite the hurdles, I managed to hit my Lyft ride goal and grabbed some Taco Bell to keep me going.

Towards the end of the vlog, I reflected on how different life is now compared to before the pandemic. The struggles of daily vlogging and rideshare driving are real, but I appreciate all of you sticking with me through it. Your support keeps me motivated, even on the tough days.
