(written on the 14th from notes taken yesterday) Up later today again. I haven't gotten up early enough to see Heather off in... a while. 🥺 Nor have I been doing any physical therapy 😬 (which maybe I'm remembering a little more right now because my spine was definitely angry with me today from everything … Continue reading 2026-07-13 (Monday) — Laser in the Dark

(written morning of the 13th) Maybe I should tone down the genealogy blitz. I'm not getting enough sleep. 🙃 Of course, I don't have much of an excuse today, because when I had the opportunity to take a nap, and was even semi planning on, I let myself get sidetracked on other things, but I'll … Continue reading 2026-07-12 (Sunday) — Soaked

(written on July 14th from notes taken previously) Oh my great golly goodness, it was hot today and hot early. Hans said it was 90 degrees by 9 a.m. 😶 🥵 I spent a little bit of the morning with Heather and Hans talking about how to contour the land for good drainage away from … Continue reading 2026-07-11 (Saturday) — Earth Mover

(written on the 14th from notes taken previously) Well, if ever there were an opposite day, today feels like it qualifies. 😊 I was super productive today, and that felt really good after the brutal, self-inflicted blows I endured yesterday. Yes, I woke up late, but that was needed from all the lack of sleep … Continue reading 2026-07-10 (Friday) — Opposite Day

(written on the 13th from notes taken previously) Today was a pretty awful day. 😞 Instead of going to bed last night, I wasted time on YouTube until probably 3:30 in the morning when I shifted from simply wasting time to sliding into that stinkin' thinkin' where you just can't see the consequences of your … Continue reading 2026-07-09 (Thursday) — Life In the Churn

(written on the 13th from notes taken previously) I was up a bit later today, which was probably good given the lack of sleep I've been getting. I spent some time organizing my van, mucked and dragged, checked the house for water intrusion after the nutty storm last night (looked pretty good 🙏), and then … Continue reading 2026-07-08 (Wednesday) — If You Play With Fire… 😕

(written on the 13th from notes taken previously) The drive from my parking spot into Casper proper was a little more adventurous than usual. There was a section of the freeway that was closed, and then a major road was also closed for a parade (a late 4th of July parade maybe? 🤔), but Google … Continue reading 2026-07-07 (Tuesday) — Diverting a Deluge

(written on the 13th. Sadly, I didn't take notes for today, and it's been a week so here's my best recollection) I finally did it. I finally took actual, dedicated time today to work on my education book (as opposed to just writing notes when ideas pop into my head as I have been), and … Continue reading 2026-07-06 (Monday) — “Accidentally” 😶

I was up a bit later this morning, probably because I made the rather intelligent decision to scroll YouTube for an hour or an hour and a half last night after getting back from the fireworks. 😶 I didn't Journal. I didn't consume light. I did the exact opposite. 😅 Was it any surprise then, … Continue reading 2026-07-05 (Sunday) — Rejoiceth In *The* Truth. 😊

(written on the 5th from notes taken... last night?) For whatever reason, it was a little harder this morning to feel light. I had to fight harder to get and keep the light, feeling heavier for no obvious reason. I spent some time listening to Conference, chatting with the Big Guy, and writing in my … Continue reading 2026-07-04 (Saturday) — Cornholio!
