Tired. Woke up. Had a pretty successful morning routine, one of my most successful. Spent a good while sorting hay. Hans had brought in the big round bale from the pasture, and he'd removed the outer crappy layer of hay from it. Not along with the crappy layer, a lot of good hay also sluffs … Continue reading 2025-07-19 (Saturday) — Rover Work

I could have been in bed a lot earlier, but I've just been watching both uplifting and informative YouTube videos. Wasn't really tired, but I think I can sleep now. Got up and said good morning to my sister before she headed out for the day. Totally bombed my Elevate app daily exercise. 😆 Generally, … Continue reading 2025-07-18 (Friday) — Reconnection Day

Hello, my lovelies. 🙂 It's been a sobering day today. I'm struggling to get moving on the things that I've felt like the Lord has directed me to do for 15+ years now. There's so much that always seems to clamor for my attention, and serving physically is so much easier than doing the hard … Continue reading 2025-07-17 (Thursday) — Break Me

I want to go back to the temple. 🙃 I suppose I could. There's nothing really to stop me, but I do want to make sure that I maintain balance. My weekly trip is really good for me--The beautiful spiritual grounding and peace that means so much, the time to be still while I drive, … Continue reading 2025-07-16 (Wednesday) — Digitized.

Love Temple Tuesdays 🥰. Beautiful day. 🥰 Up over and over again through the night. Nothing major, just waking and falling asleep again many times. Similar to normal but more frequently. Since I didn't finish my journal until late, I didn't end up getting up on time. I think I finally got up somewhere around … Continue reading 2025-07-15 (Tuesday) — Peace, and House of the Lord

It's definitely been a harder day today. In addition to my sorrow for the ways in which I've neglected my body, for a fair chunk of the morning I was fighting feelings of feeling unattractive, unwanted, undesirable (physically). Pretty rough. Poignant. It's a good opportunity for me to feel what many others feel every day … Continue reading 2025-07-14 (Monday) — Worth Any Effort. Worth Every Effort

I headed out pretty early this morning, wanting to spend some time pondering and preparing for what I wanted to share in Sacrament Meeting today. I had intended to get up earlier than I did, but I was tired, and when my alarm went off, I think I bumped it out multiple times. 🙃 I … Continue reading 2025-07-13 (Sunday) — Just… Grateful 😊

Let's just say that the night didn't go as expected. 🙃 I close my eyes fairly early, I think, but I was wide awake. I had yawned a few times, as if I could have fallen asleep, but my brain woke up and just started churning. Front of the things that was turning about was … Continue reading 2025-07-12 (Saturday) — Humbled and Grateful

Oh! I just realized it's 7-Eleven day! 🙃 Happy 7-Eleven day! 🥤 Not much to say about today, I don't think. But! When I woke up for good this morning, I woke up to lovely little news: I had reached out to Amazon last night (or the night before?) because the power station I just … Continue reading 2025-07-11 (Friday) — A Templing We Go!

It's funny how a day can just end up a blur. But I guess with my brain generally occupied and often going 90 miles an hour, it's probably not really a surprise. It could also just be old age. 😆 Didn't end up getting to bed until a lot later yet again, so I slept … Continue reading 2025-07-10 (Thursday) — Return of the Bean Smoothie 😎
