Hi, peopleses 😊, What a difference a day can make!Last night while I was at Miguel's celebrating his birthday, the wind started to pick up pretty good, and the breeze turned cool rather quickly, and when I woke up this morning, it was a lot colder outside than the 90-degree high it had reached yesterday. … Continue reading 2020-04-09 – Just Like Arkansas Weather

So... many years ago, I remember hearing a story (I honestly don't know if it's true or not) that went something like this: The CEO of a major company invited a consultant to help him better run his business. A meeting was scheduled, and the deal offered to the consultant was that one third of … Continue reading 2020-04-08 — Much Ado About Nothing

Even'n, folkses. 😊 Happy Tuesday. 😊 Let's see... Today was a good day! Well, of course it was, right? I mean... every day is a good day: It's just good in different ways. 😊 (I used to say that regularly..., but it's been a while since I've had the courage to admit that.

After graduating from BYU but before heading off to graduate school at the University of Utah, I went on a fun little three-week trip to Peru with one of my best friends whom I met at BYU. He and I had a blast, traipsing around Lima, Arequipa, Puno, Cuzco, Machu Picchu, etc. I have some … Continue reading The University of Utah Years (’05-’08)

Hi, y'all. 😊 Today has been an interesting one. It's got me focusing a little bit more on what's important in life. It started out normally enough. I sent my contract worker out on a job, and I headed into town to do a job as well, as I'd double booked the schedule. I got … Continue reading 2020-04-06 — Perspective

Not sure what the deal is, but I feel disproportionately tired to the day's events. I'm exhausted, and I haven't really done much other than be in front of screens all day. 🙃 Brain. Not. Working. I'm in one of those fogs where I can't think clearly. My abstract thinking skills right now "are about … Continue reading 2020-04-05 — 0.5 Down. 6.5 to Go

You know, I've lived here in this house in Arkansas for something like four years now, and I've never, not even once, done one of my childhood staple activities that I've done all over the place even as an adult!!! I've never wandered up the creek!!! 🙃 Well, today I did. 😊 I didn't go … Continue reading 2020-04-04 – Down By the Creek

Happy Fridurday! 🙂 Things have been slowing down a bit, and I actually appreciate that. I've been so stressed and so busy with 8 million things on my mind for so long, that even a little respite like today is nice. I didn't really work at all today, just a couple hours getting everything buttoned … Continue reading 2020-04-03 — Slowing Down

It's 11:21. I'd rolled over to go to bed after watching I Am Legend (terrible ending, by the way. The book ending is a lot better). I remembered I hadn't written anything for today. At first I was like, well, I'll get it tomorrow. It's just one day. Then I thought... you used to write … Continue reading 2020-04-02 — Scraping By

You know, one of the things I like about being an adult (if I actually qualify as one 🙂 ) is that on the way home tonight after another rough day at work, I could go grocery shopping and come home with the following dinner. Strawberry ice cream. Vanilla bean ice cream. Salty caramel ice … Continue reading 2020-04-01 — Comfort Foods
