(written on the 28th) Sunday started out like the rest of the week, up late, going to the gym, etc. But then I headed over to the hill to help Stevie with the brakes on his truck. He had paid for a shop to do the rear, but he wanted to save some money and … Continue reading 2025-01-26 (Monday) — Back to Brakes

(written on the 26th and 27th) Not much has gone on over the last handful of days for me to feel like it's worth writing a separate entry for each day. Monday night, I think I slept something like 14 hours. 😶 Clearly, I needed it, and I was grateful to get the sleep. What … Continue reading 2025-01-25 (Saturday) — At Least I’m Exercising

I woke up after probably about an hour after I first dozed off, and... we were still on the ground. 🙃 Apparently, the snow and ice had made things a lot more complicated for taking off than what we had first been told right before I nodded off. When we finally got up in the … Continue reading 2025-01-20 (Monday) — Back to Arkansas

(written on the 27th) I spent part of the morning doing a little bit of JustAnswer work. Spent some time cleaning the house. Chase's brother ordered Taco Bell breakfast, so I ate while cleaning and what not. After cleaning and breakfast and getting ourselves out before checkout time, we headed back to Chase's place. It … Continue reading 2025-01-19 (Sunday) — Chena Hot Springs

(written on the 27th) I think I was the first one awake, which isn't much of a surprise since I was the only one in the house, I think, who hadn't been drinking the night before. 🙃 I ate leftover cold Pizza for breakfast--a lot of it. 🙃 I think I watched Castle a bit … Continue reading 2025-01-18 (Saturday) — Chase’s Big Day

(written over several days) There wasn't any sleeping in today after the long day of traveling because breakfast was being cooked and was supposed to be ready by 9:00. I think I woke up around 7:00, watching a little bit of Castle and eating the rest of my ice cream before heading back over to … Continue reading 2025-01-17 (Friday) — Huffman Manor

(written on the 17th and 23rd) It was nice to have a hotel to be in. Of course, it's not really a hotel. It's more like somebody's mansion house that's been converted into a sort of hotel thing. But it was nice to have a place of my... own, so to speak. Unfortunately, my back … Continue reading 2025-01-16 (Thursday) — Meeting the Fam

I was anxious enough that I didn't sleep well, eventually waking up a couple hours earlier than I wanted to after a short night's sleep. Gratefully, I was able to get myself going enough to get done the things that needed to be done prior to driving up to Kansas City. One of the bonuses … Continue reading 2025-01-15 (Wednesday) — Alaska!!!

With so much anxiety and anger inside me right now, and with only continual downward sliding in the forecast, I'm gonna try and do a gratitude post, in the hopes I can arrest my broken mind and heart. I'm grateful that I didn't have any issues getting up this morning. My mom brought me a … Continue reading 2025-01-15 (Wednesday) — I Need Gratitude

(written on the 15th) I'm anxious. Living in a state of perpetual overwhelm, I'm pretty terrified right now to go to Alaska for my friend's wedding. So much to do. So many choices to make on the shoulders of someone whose emotional capacity affords little more than the ability to press the next episode button … Continue reading 2025-01-14 (Tuesday) — Anxious Anticipation
