It's not quite morning, early afternoon actually, but here we go nonetheless. 😊 Morning Gratitude: I'm grateful that I was able to make it into Pea Ridge and back safely during the ice storm. I'm grateful that the heat in my van works. 😊 I'm grateful that so far during this ice storm, we still … Continue reading 2023-01-30 — I’m Here Today

G'day, all. 😊 I can feel depressive frequencies trying to drag me down out of nowhere this morning, so... I guess morning gratitude is perfect. 😁 I'm grateful to have functional electricity, reminded of that blessing after our recent longer-than-usual outage (10 hours). Don't think I wrote about that? I'm grateful that my vehicles are … Continue reading 2023-01-29 — Burn, Baby, Burn

Dare I hope to get two days in a row? 🙃 I've tried pretty hard today to try to get myself back into a good routine, though it started out a bit weakly (I slept in). Instead of diving off right into the day, I took time to do some morning gratitude. Here's the result: … Continue reading 2023-01-28 — Realignment

Let me take a moment to start this post out with a little shout out to my wee wonderful mama! Happy birthday, lassie! 🥳🎉🪅🎊🥳(...At least on this continent. It's already past your birthday where you are). I hope you had a wonderful day. 😊 Thanks, for being such a wonderful person with an absolutely beautiful … Continue reading 2023-01-27 — Happy Birthday, Mama! 😊

Man, I am so far out of the habit of writing every day. I can't remember what all's been going on. Let's see... I've basically shut down my tree service business for the time being. With neither of us physically able to do the work that needs to be done, it's pretty crappy, as I'm … Continue reading 2023-01-23 — All Over the Place

Another far too late night, and another early morning. It's been a long day, and I'm exhausted. I don't remember if I mentioned it in my other post, but I ended up working for the tree service business today because they didn't finish the job yesterday. Since they didn't finish the job yesterday, that meant … Continue reading 2023-01-20 — Beat

Now that I'm home, life is just a blur. I'm out of the habit of writing every day, and I'm so sleep deprived that I can't really remember anything that I've done, and having not written in 3 days, it all blends together. I don't remember almost anything 🙃 So the perfectionist in me is … Continue reading 2023-01-19 — The Grind

So... Despite being crazy tired, with with only a handful of hours of sleep over the last 3 days, of course little me doesn't go to bed until 3:30 in the morning. ... which this time meant that I didn't even get up until 1:00. 🙃 I definitely needed the sleep, but I suppose it … Continue reading 2023-01-16 — Laaaaaag

Well folks, I'm home. It's crazy, but my trip to New Zealand already feels like a dream... It's only been a day since I left, but it's almost like I never went. It's really funny how life and memories work. Here we are again, back in regular life, with all the decisions that I needed … Continue reading 2023-01-14/15 — The Longest Day

Up early again--still not sleeping well. 🙃 (I forgot to mention that the main reason I think I had such a hard time falling asleep when we first left our friends in hokitika and drove to the east side of the Southern Alps was that I had so much sugar and caffeine in my system … Continue reading 2023-01-13 — “Can’t” Is Not The Right Answer
