Today was a to-do list day, and on most accounts, a rather productive one. I closed the sales tax account with the state of Arkansas for my defunct tree service business. Funny that The agencies don't talk to each other. When you shut down a business with the state, not all the agencies get the … Continue reading 2023-12-21 — Happy Solstice!

Last work day of 2023. Gratefully, it went relatively well... until the last car. The first car was a 2007 Toyota Camry that had a coolant leak. Turned out to be a blown radiator, and the radiator that they needed was in a different city a little ways away, so it wasn't realistic to try … Continue reading 2023-12-20 — Last Work Day of 2023

I'm writing this on the 22nd--early in the morning... Everything is a blur when I don't work on cars every day. Each car is a little memory trigger, so the whole day is easy to recap because I have all these little memory triggers that remind me of everything that went on. But without those … Continue reading 2023-12-19 — Haven Hill Creek Park

Another rough one today... My morning routines have been a struggle because I haven't been getting up. As extreme as it might sound, it really is true for me, but if I make a single exception to my routine, I'm about 100 times more likely to lose the routine. I made an exception, and now … Continue reading 2023-12-18 — 😕

I'm here! 💚 Ups and downs. I spent the morning listening to the entire book of first Nephi and part of second Nephi. That was actually super effective for getting me grounded and calm and at peace. I'm grateful for that. Church was good, and I did pretty well after church. I don't remember very … Continue reading 2023-12-17 — Memory Lapse

Guess I'd better write something before I forget everything... So... The 16th (yesterday)... Hard day. Think I slept in and didn't have a good morning routine. I think I had a conversation with Cory for a while in the morning? Talking a lot about the stuff that's tough for me right now. Lots of many … Continue reading 2023-12-16 — One Week to Vacay

So I was doing really well when I wrote my journal entry yesterday, feeling the spirit and feeling peace and calm and everything. That was yesterday morning, writing about the previous day's experiences. I had slept in and only done family study with my mom, and then I spent however long writing my post that … Continue reading 2023-12-15 — I. Don’t. Work. In. The. Rain.

You know, sometimes it would be nice to be able to apply all of the principles that I learn all at once. 🙃 After one of the better morning routines that I've ever been able to accomplish since I've begun striving to follow this fabulous but very challenging morning routine, when I went out this … Continue reading 2023-12-14 — Curtain’s Up

I'm really grateful for people who face monumental fears and overcome them. This morning, I woke up and learned that a friend of mine who's been struggling to do something that she's felt like she should do but that was excruciatingly difficult...did it. I know that fear, though in different circumstances. I've never had to … Continue reading 2023-12-13 — Oh, What Courage!

Little bit late on my post from yesterday. Whoops! Yesterday I'm going to say that we're going to call it mini x day. It was a super effective day down by the deck, which is where I spent the entire day after morning routine stuff.At first, I worked on spreading the mulch around on the … Continue reading 2023-12-12 — Mini Excavator Day
