I did it! No, I didn't get to at 5, but I did a really good job at putting first things first today!!! 🥳 I don't think I even left my van until like 10:00? I got up late, somewhere around 7:30, I think, but I spent my morning hours focused on the things that … Continue reading 2025-08-02 (Saturday) — Best Things First 🎉

(written on August 2nd from notes taken yesterday) Another day today... fairly doldrumy again. 😕 Got up to see Heather off for the work day, try to do some good morning routine work, and started working a little bit. After messing around with the Jetta a little bit, working on brake stuff, we needed parts … Continue reading 2025-08-01 (Friday) — Rapid Rerun

(written on August 2nd from notes taken previously) Little bit of collateral damage from the Rover renovating. I have a hole in my roof still, the size of an exhaust fan, and it decided to rain last night. 🙃 I also had all of my bins of clothing outside, as well as tools and whatnot, … Continue reading 2025-07-31 (Thursday) — Rapid Rescue

(written on August 2nd from notes taken previously) I was up late again last night. Gosh, I wish I could just get myself to follow my morning schedule. Why can't I get myself to get up at 5:00? Well, I guess the answer to that is pretty easy. I don't ever get to bed on … Continue reading 2025-07-30 (Wednesday) — A Rover Remodel

(written on August 1st from notes taken previously) I actually slept decently last night! 🤯 🙏 Pretty amazing considering I was on the side of the highway with loud trucks passing. Of course, I had my headphones in with my rain white noise going, but still, I slept way better than I have. I suppose … Continue reading 2025-07-29 (Tuesday) — Errand Pinball

(written on the first of August from notes taken previously) I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. I spent a bunch of time doing New Zealand research and what not. I was also a lot more vulnerable to relapse last night because one of the visitors to the springs yesterday was wearing a … Continue reading 2025-07-28 (Monday) — “Fall Into … Place”

(written on the 31st from notes taken previously, but written as though-ish it were the 27th) Bleery-eyed, I got up in the 8 o'clock our, I believe. One of the big questions for the morning was going to be whether or not I was going to finger tighten the solar panels and drive away as … Continue reading 2025-07-27 (Sunday) — Wait, What? 😶

(written on the 29th) So... the sun came up, which... meant I could turn off my headlamp. 🙃 But I was still at it. All day I was still at it. It was mid 90s yesterday, around 100 today. Or maybe vice versa? With the sun up, and with me feeling more comfortable making loud … Continue reading 2025-07-26 (Saturday) — Ahhh… Sleep 🫩

(written on the 28th) Today... Ugh... 😞 Rough day that didn't even end. Did some morning routine stuff and then started trying to help Heather and Hans with stuff they needed to do, trying to lighten super heavy loads at least a little bit. It started by changing the oil in their Jetta, which went … Continue reading 2025-07-25 (Friday) — *Really* Uncomfortable Blessings 😅

Been waking up a lot at nights. Don't know what the deal is, but I think I'm waking up more than usual. I've always been a light sleeper and woken up a lot at night, but it just seems like it's been... more frequent. It probably didn't help that I couldn't find my headphones last … Continue reading 2025-07-24 (Thursday) — Still There! 🙏
