Well let's just say I didn't get to bed right away after I posted my journal entry for yesterday.  🙃 In fact, I didn't get to bed until after 2:30, I think it was. 😅 I got on a roll reading some old Facebook communications from way back in July of 2020, and I just.... … Continue reading 2025-06-30 (Monday) — Goodbye Trench, Goodbye June

Well, I should have been in bed a long time ago. I had the option to be in bed a long time ago. Buuuut... I let myself get distracted. 🙃 So now it's after 10:00, and I'm still not in bed, and I'm just barely starting this journal post. Oops. 😅 Totally slept in today. … Continue reading 2025-06-29 (Sunday) — Brighter and Brighter Until the Perfect Day

I'm going to try to motor through this, in the hopes of getting to bed a bit earlier. It's almost 9:40, and I should have been in bed 40 minutes ago, but if I can get to bed before 10, at least I'm still making progress each day, even if I haven't quite reached the … Continue reading 2025-06-28 (Saturday) — To Be Righteous In the Dark

Today is a blur. Had a good morning routine, good chat with the Big Guy, good gospel study... Ate breakfast, took some work calls, cleaned out Rover a little bit, helped Hans a bit with septic leach line stuff, did a full mucking out of the barn-ish area (getting all fresh and old horse apples … Continue reading 2025-06-27 (Friday) — I’m a South Dakotan 🙃

Kind of a meh day. And now that I think about it, I didn't fill my ears with uplifting things all day like I usually do. First thing in the morning, I had uplifting things I was listening to, and I was just beaming and happy, but then... I got started with work before I'd … Continue reading 2025-06-26 (Thursday) — The Longing

Another rough night's sleep last night. I'm not sure why. I wasn't in any weird random place. I just tossed and turned and woke up randomly all the time and just... Didn't sleep well. 🙃 Fortunately, I had a fairly successful morning routine, as well as a really good morning gospel study, so that was … Continue reading 2025-06-25 (Wednesday) — Creating Spiritually First

Little me be tired. 😴 Lovely day today. 😊 More comfortable blessings. And t'was my happy half birthday. 🙃 Nice to spend it in the temple--at least part of it. I woke up relatively early, and for whatever reason, I was exhausted. Maybe it's too many days in a row of heavy physical labor and … Continue reading 2025-06-24 (Tuesday) —  On the Lookout. Preparing.

Alohar! 😁 Happy almost Temple Tuesday! 🥳 (by the time I finish this post, I think it actually will be Temple Tuesday 🙃). Yes, I'm late for bed, but that's because instead of stopping at mule Creek junction like I usually do, I drove all the way to a parking area on the side of … Continue reading 2025-06-23 (Monday) — Captained, Consumed, Reborn

Alohar!🌮 🌺🌮 Happy Sabbath. 😊 It's been a lovely day today. 🥰 I mean, every day is a good day: It's just good in different ways, but today was more of a comfortable blessing day as opposed to an uncomfortable blessing day. 🙃 I got personal best scores on all three of my Elevate app … Continue reading 2025-06-22 (Sunday) — Colored Doggles

Oh boy. I'm tired. It's way past my bedtime; and I really don't want to write tonight. I just want to go to bed. 🙃 But that wouldn't be very good now would it. 😅 Discipline, Stephen. Discipline. Okay, so I got up a bit later than I would want to with my new attempted … Continue reading 2025-06-21 (Saturday) — Battle of the Septic
