(written on the 31st) Woke up a bit later, with Hans already up and working on the backhoe. I did some morning routine stuff and then spent most of the day doing research into roofing stuff--trying to learn the ins and outs, pros and cons of the shingles vs. standing seam. Take questions on just … Continue reading 2025-05-30 (Friday) — SBS Shingles or Standing Seam?

I'm actually writing my post on time. In fact, it's not even 9:00 yet. 🙃 Tired. Body is sore. Definitely been a test of my ability to be grateful today with the various things that have been going on. 🙃 Hopefully I can end on an up note after a long day of feeling not … Continue reading 2025-05-29 (Thursday) — Arresting the Slide

(written on the 29th from notes taken previously) Gratefully, I was able to sleep in a little bit today. Definitely haven't gotten enough sleep over the last while, so a bit more is nice. 😊 I chatted with Hans while eating my yogurt with Frozen mixed berries in it, chatting about house construction stuff and … Continue reading 2025-05-28 (Wednesday) — Spiritual Slow Down

(written on the 28th from notes) Well, I can only blame myself for the night sleep last night. 🙃 I ended up staying up until after 3:00 in the morning looking up stuff online related to the house-building project here because I was so concerned about everything. 🙃 Aaaaaaaaaaand then I woke up at 6ish--wide … Continue reading 2025-05-27 (Tuesday) — Blessings, Just… Blessings 🙏😊

(written on the 28th from notes taken previously) Just not getting much sleep. 🙃 I was both tired this morning and starting to migraine. I was supposed to go with Heather and Hans up to Rapid City, but with my being in my little pre-migraine phase, I didn't want to be hanging out in another … Continue reading 2025-05-26 (Monday) — The Privilege of Pain

(written on the 27th from notes taken previously) Wow, the cankers were bad this morning, so bad I was actually worried. What's going on?!?! I took some pictures. At least 5 big sores. Why?!?! I looked up different mouth sore issues. Doesn't look like oral thrush. Doesn't match a viral outbreak of some kind. They … Continue reading 2025-05-25 (Sunday) — Made It!

(written on the 26th from notes taken previously) Undisturbed night of sleep. 🙏 The streak is gratefully alive. 🙂 Have I talked about canker sores at all? Several days ago, I developed a canker sore on the gum just above my left canine. I didn't think much of it. I'd eaten like a third or … Continue reading 2025-05-24 (Saturday) — Almost There!

(written on the 26th from notes taken previously) I was neither disturbed, nor did I find myself at the bottom of the mountain via landslide in the middle of the night. 🥳 I did, however, wake up once again bright and early after far too little sleep--getting summer between 3 and 4 hours of sleep. … Continue reading 2025-05-23 (Friday) — Sideways Blessings 🙃

(written on the 26th from notes taken previously) Still bleary-eyed, I peeked out the front windshield at the scenery around me. 🥰 I was in the clouds... literally. 😁 Up on the low mountainside where I was, the clouds were moving in and out, almost as if the mountain were breathing. I adore the beauty … Continue reading 2025-05-22 (Thursday) — Sister Bear

(written on the 22nd) Undisturbed. 🎉 Gratefully, I haven't been Disturbed a single night this entire trip so far. It's pretty crazy to think, but I'm just a couple weeks away from it being 2 months on the road! And over 6000 miles traveled already. 🙃 Not so great on the wallet, but great to … Continue reading 2025-05-21 (Wednesday) — Issaqwhat?
