(written on the 10th from sparse notes taken previously) I think I spent pretty much the whole day trying to figure out the missing file issues. No dice so far. 😞 My new external drive came, and Heather gave me one of her drives as well to use. The biggest news of the day was … Continue reading 2025-08-29 (Friday) — Just Trust, Stephen

It's been... a rough one today. Really really uncomfortable blessings. I started going through my business files on my main drive because I've got to get my taxes finished, and I found that a very large number of my files are missing. Gone. Disappeared. It's like someone went in and just randomly deleted stuff all … Continue reading 2025-08-28 (Thursday) — Missing

It's been a good, productive day today, but I let myself slide pretty hard at the end, and I'm not really even sure exactly why...  so I'm pretty low right now. Got up late, around 7:15 ish, I think. Back was unhappy with me, I think probably from carrying the heavy buckets yesterday, so I … Continue reading 2025-08-27 (Wednesday) — A Little of This. A Little of That

(written on the 5th and 6th of September) I left my little overnight spot about 8:15 and headed to Planet Fitness, where, after only four exercises (three sets of 10 each), I tweaked my collarbone injury. 😅 Due to my already low desire to power through an exercise session, I called it good. I also … Continue reading 2025-08-26 (Tuesday) — 101-Year-Old Inspiration 😊

(written on September 5th) I broke through today! I was productive in ways that actually felt productive! 🥳 🙃 I was checking items off my ColorNote list right and left, getting stuff done. 💪😎 Finally. 😅 Home front chores taken care of, important to-do list items completed. 🥳 Even made a bean smoothie. 🙃 Dealt … Continue reading 2025-08-25 (Monday) — Productive? … Productive!!!🥳

(written on September 5th. It's been too long. 😅 I didn't even take notes. 😬) Not much that I remember for today. I had plenty of time to get to Cascade Springs, take a bath, and get to church, and yet, somehow, I was late. Again. As always. 😅 I heard somewhere that poor time … Continue reading 2025-08-24 (Sunday) — Humble Pie 🥧

Yep. He did it, folks! To Middle Earth he goes! 🧙‍♂️ I got my courage up, did a final check in with the Big Guy, and I sent my money to United Airlines. After a little visit to Utah, on October 25th, I'll hop a plane to SFO, and then on to New Zealand, arriving … Continue reading 2025-08-23 (Saturday) — “Not All Who Wander Are Lost”

(written on the 24th) Let's see... being Friday, Hans was home to work on house stuff, so I tried to help in other areas to be useful, as the stuff he's working on is sort of one-person stuff. So I mucked out the barn and dragged. I spent some time beating apart spilled concrete leftovers … Continue reading 2025-08-22 (Friday) — A Little Concrete

(written on the 23rd) Today, the last day of the work week, came and went without me answering a single new JA question. 😅 I did finish up 3 questions this week that had already been started but that I hadn't finished, but I didn't take anything new. Wouldn't it be hilarious if I'm bumped … Continue reading 2025-08-21 (Thursday) — A Couple Blockades 🙃

(written on the 23rd) Let's see... not a very effective day today at all. And it started out a bit rough. I had made a comment the other day on an anti-mormon video in my feed that was, to me, significantly disrespectful, inaccurate in places, and mocking. I felt like my comment was direct but … Continue reading 2025-08-20 (Wednesday) — Wasted Day
