(written on the 23rd) I'm grateful for Temple Tuesday. It's... such a wonderful pick-me-up. 😊 Up, to the gym for a bit. I didn't do a full mega workout again, and I forgot to take my shower stuff into the gym. Did about a half workout and then enjoyed the hydro massage bed. Hot day. … Continue reading 2025-08-19 (Tuesday) — Visa Complication

(written on the 19th and 23rd) Slept in late again... Think I got up somewhere around 7:15 or so. Saw Heather off to work and then chose to doom scroll YouTube or FB Reels, or both, don't remember for sure, for... a good long time. 😕 The demotion affected me more than I thought it … Continue reading 2025-08-18 (Monday) — Foundation Prep
2025-08-17 (Sunday) — Less High 🙃
Hiya, folks. Less high today. 🙃 😆 I mean, the day was fine, but I'm not on a high, and I'm in I'm... unsettled. The morning was good... did some dailies. A goldfinch father landed on a sunflower just outside my open door and busily stuffed its face with a lovely sunflower meal, and then … Continue reading 2025-08-17 (Sunday) — Less High 🙃
2025-08-16 (Saturday) — Crystallizing
💚 Yep 🥰 💚 ... It's coming together more and more within my mind and heart. 😊 Letting go. Trusting God. Come what may. And it's not just cerebral understanding: God is changing me. Neither is it "apply it, and wait for the blessing." I'm partaking of the blessing--now. 🙏 Oh what a tremendous shift … Continue reading 2025-08-16 (Saturday) — Crystallizing
2025-08-15 (Friday) — Skylight, Dry Light
Happy weekend, my lovelies. 😊 I... can't really remember what happened today. 🙃 Let's see... I woke up a good bit earlier than usual, though still much later than the goal. My cooler, likely sometime quite shortly before I woke up, finished draining down the power station battery. That means I got about two and … Continue reading 2025-08-15 (Friday) — Skylight, Dry Light
2025-08-14 (Thursday) — Lift The World 😁
Good evening, my lovelies. 😊 Guess what I did today? 🙏 💪 😎 😁 Yep, I slept in. 🙃 😆 No, that's not the big story of the day today. I had a hard time sleeping last night, so I was restless, and I got up earlier than I have the last little bit, tired, … Continue reading 2025-08-14 (Thursday) — Lift The World 😁
2025-08-13 (Wednesday) — “Give Me This Mountain”
(written on the 14th) Alohar!!! 😊 It's been an up and down, comfortable blessing/uncomfortable blessing kind of day today. Slept in again, saw Heather off to work, and then proceeded to have probably my best day of dailies--ever? (at least in the most recent efforts of the last handful of months, that is). 🥳 I … Continue reading 2025-08-13 (Wednesday) — “Give Me This Mountain”
2025-08-12 (Tuesday) — The Time Is Now
Well, I had a relatively decent night's sleep last night, and I stayed in that little rest stop for far too long. I think I was probably there for like 11 hours, maybe 12? 🙃 I did some dailies, wrote my journal entry for yesterday, and while writing yesterday's entry, it dawned on me that … Continue reading 2025-08-12 (Tuesday) — The Time Is Now
2025-08-11 (Monday) — It Is Not Good For Man To Be Alone
(written on the 12th from notes taken previously) Woke up late again this morning, did a few dailies, and got out of Rover to wish my sister a good day at work. Having not yet been able to keep myself from being discouraged at my continual inability to get up on time and actually keep … Continue reading 2025-08-11 (Monday) — It Is Not Good For Man To Be Alone
2025-08-10 (Sunday) — Just Serve
(written on the 11th) Did some dailies this morning and headed out to the creek to take a bath a little bit early. Ended up playing in my little soaking pool a little long, so I was scrambling a bit by the end to make sure I got to church in time to be sustained … Continue reading 2025-08-10 (Sunday) — Just Serve
