It was a pretty rough morning today. I'd hoped for some respite, even maybe an improvement upon waking up, but I didn't get much sleep, and I woke up worse than I went to bed. I was pretty much in full-on crisis mode (faith stuff still). It was rough. But I did my morning routine … Continue reading 2023-11-13 — Not What They Seemed

Today has been a hard one. It probably doesn't help that I've been really tired--I imagine partly from not getting enough to eat for a while now, and probably also because I'm just not getting enough sleep. The real issue, though, is that I dove into a bunch of stuff that's... let's just say not … Continue reading 2023-11-12 — Into the Dark

Hello my lovelies. 🥰 Happy 11/11 😊 Another happy good day in the books (as opposed to one of the other kinds of good days it could have been). I was much more focused today in my personal study, having prepared myself pretty well, and I made some good progress. 🥳 As I mentioned yesterday, … Continue reading 2023-11-11 — Connected

Little boy tired. 😴 But I'll squeeze something out for y'all. 😊 It's funny, I went to bed last night thinking I was in position to perhaps get a mostly full night's sleep. I think I was in bed by 9ish? And then I woke up at like 4:10 or something and was just... awake. … Continue reading 2023-11-10 — “Sudden Strokes of Ideas”

Holar, mis lovelies! 🥰 Happy Thoisday! 😁 You know, yesterday, before I started reading all those old things, I had that little internal (but external) voice go, "Do you really want to do this. You know it might be really hard. Do you want to fight off the challenging feelings that will likely start banging … Continue reading 2023-11-09 — It’s Just So Nice

I'm just going to be brief tonight. My morning went pretty well, was able to follow my schedule pretty well. Had a really great gospel conversation with my aunt, who's here for a few more days visiting from Utah. Spent a good while working on being better prepared for my daily schedule--being more effective in … Continue reading 2023-11-08 — Let’s Just Get to Tomorrow

I be tired. 🙃 One of the things that I'm starting to remember about having a set schedule is that catching up on sleep tends to be a bit of a challenge. 🙃 If my brain won't turn off, like it wouldn't again last night, then I don't fall asleep for a good while, then … Continue reading 2023-11-07 — ”Oklahoma, Oklahoma, Oklahoma!”

Morning Gratitude. 😊 One of the last things that I mentioned the Man Upstairs last night was that I'd love it if somehow I was able to get a decent night's sleep despite having gotten to bed later than was my goal. I mentioned that it would be awesome if I didn't have to wake … Continue reading 2023-11-06 — Silver Gratitude

It's 8:49 p.m., I'm a bit late starting on my journal entry for the day. Funny because I've been ready to go to sleep since like 6:30. 🙃 A bit tired. 😴 Guess what? I succeeded! 🥳 I went to bed at 9:00! (though I didn't fall asleep for a good while, and I woke … Continue reading 2023-11-05 — Great Start

Morning Gratitude: This morning I am grateful that I was reminded right off the bat to focus on gratitude. I'm also grateful that I was reminded about and have begun again to incorporate my 5x5s. I'm grateful to be getting on a better daily routine, both as far as the things that I am doing … Continue reading 2023-11-04 — “Book” Worm
