(written on the 29th from notes taken previously) Did some dailies. Started digging in to finally find that gas tank, as I had someone who wanted to get it today. Gratefully, I did eventually find the gas tank simply by giving up on the weed eating and mowing and just making my way through the … Continue reading 2025-09-19 (Friday) — Continued Divestiture, and More Haven Hill Cleanup

(written on the 29th from notes taken previously) I asked Jim if he had a weed eater I could borrow, and he brought one over, and I spent a good little while trying to weed eat the area where the trailers were because somebody wanted the gas tank I was giving away, and I thought … Continue reading 2025-09-18 (Thursday) — Haven Hill Happenings

(written on the 29th from notes taken previously) Rough night last night. Going to the temple was about the only thing holding me together, but I cracked last night. I didn't go to bed... And I relapsed. Badly. 4+ months I had clean. Hard to put the stumble into perspective when I want so badly … Continue reading 2025-09-17 (Wednesday) — Major Slip Up

I've missed two Temple Tuesdays in a row. 🥺 I was banking on being just a hop, skip, and a jump from the temple, but I guess it's closed for yearly maintenance. 😶 And I drove past the Kansas City temple, one of my favorites ever, on a Monday. I guess I could have driven … Continue reading 2025-09-16 (Tuesday) — Broken Habits 😬

(written on the 16th and 17th) Hello, my lovelies! 😊 Amazingly and gratefully, my headphones kept me from hearing the super loud freeway right next to me, which allowed me to sleep at least decently well. 🥳 After using the rest area bathroom, I pointed Rover's nose East and headed off into the sunrise. I … Continue reading 2025-09-15 (Monday) — Back On the Hill

(written on the 15th) Howdy hi, my lovelies. 😊 Woke up relatively sick this morning, so instead of getting dressed for church, I just threw on a long sleeve shirt and some clean sweatpants and hung out in the foyer during sacrament meeting, so as to not get anyone else sick. Spent second hour mostly … Continue reading 2025-09-14 (Sunday) — On The Road Again

(written on the 14th) Alohar! 🙂 Still totally off my game--terrible morning dailies. Terrible gospel study. Not making almost any meaningful effort to connect with The Big Guy. Still... grateful for the strength and support He's giving me, nonetheless. I feel as though I'm being upheld while in the midst of my struggles. My wonderful … Continue reading 2025-09-13 (Saturday) — Little Boy Sick

(written on the 13th) Holar 😊 I'm definitely out of sync from my normal routine. 🙃 With John not being of my same religious perspective, I haven't really done much of any real gospel study (not that I was doing very well at it recently anyway 😅). I definitely could have taken time to do … Continue reading 2025-09-12 (Friday) — How’s The Sicky

(written on the 13th) Hiya, folks. 🙂 While it was the same hotel, and while the room was bigger than the other one, and the price was cheaper because it was in the last desirable location, it was pretty trashy. 😅 The door to the room wouldn't close unless forced closed. The door to the … Continue reading 2025-09-11 (Thursday) — Bon Voyage, John

(written on the 13th from notes taken previously) The Mexican food last night didn't sit well with either of us. 😅 Each time I would wake up in the middle of the night, I wondered whether or not the upset stomach was going to turn to a need to head on over to the bathroom … Continue reading 2025-09-10 (Wednesday) — Falls to Falls
