Well, what I was afraid of is what I got. Can't remember which LDS leader said it, but I know it's what Job said, that which he feared the most is what happened. The surgeon diagnosed me with degenerative disc disease. 12 out of my 23 discs are bulged, multiple impinging on my nerves, lots … Continue reading 2024-11-07 (Thursday) — DDD

(written on the 9th) Sorry, again, for the delays in my posts. Sunday was interesting at least in one aspect: The church congregation that was somewhat small when I first attended it after having come out here from Utah had gotten so big that they split the congregation. With my mom having moved to a … Continue reading 2024-11-06 (Wednesday) — Hopeful

You know it's funny, I was actually cold last night. It must be the humidity, because I don't think it got any colder than like 45° overnight. We were doing just fine at 28° in Canada, but I checked the humidity, and it was 93%, so I think that answers that. 😅 I don't think … Continue reading 2024-11-01 (Friday) — Return to Haven Hill

(written the morning of the 1st) It was an early morning yesterday--it being about a 30-minute drive from where we were to the Kansas City temple, we needing to be there at the temple by about 7:30 or 7:35 or something like that. So I stumbled out of bed, slept walked through buying gas, and … Continue reading 2024-10-31 (Thursday) — Back  in Arkansas

Not much to report today. Woke up and started working on JustAnswer stuff. Watched YouTube stuff. Chatted with Identifix about my increased bill that I had heard nothing about... Went up about 20ish percent without warning. Then I found out that they apparently didn't bill me last December or this last July, so now they're … Continue reading 2024-10-30 (Wednesday) — One More Day

We're on the home stretch, at this point. I don't really want to be on the home stretch. I don't really want to go back to the massive stuff in Arkansas that I have to take care of. It's been nice to have breathing room. But it has to be taken care of, and I … Continue reading 2024-10-29 (Tuesday) — Nebraska!

(written on the 28th) Today was a heavy day for me. Sundays have been hard lately because there's a part of me that wants that relationship with God back. There's a part of me that feels like the LDS faith is where is best to be, but quite honestly, I don't want to go back … Continue reading 2024-10-27 (Sunday) — Heavy

(written on the 28th) In anticipation of the house building efforts that were going to be taking place this morning, we had parked Rover at the end of the horse pasture, so as not to be in the way of the equipment when it came. I can't really remember what was going on the rest … Continue reading 2024-10-26 (Saturday) — Out of Wood!

(written on the 26th from notes taken on the 25th) Woke up early today... I think maybe around 6:30 or something? Didn't get much sleep. Was mostly a lazy day, physically. I spent most of the day trying to catch up on my journal posting, having gotten more than 2 weeks behind. 😅 I dictated … Continue reading 2024-10-25 (Friday) — Journal Catch-Up Day

(written on the 28th from notes taken previously) Today wasn't a very eventful day. My mom and I ran around the basement, which is currently open to the air, putting away tools and cleaning things up because the first rainstorm in months was possibly coming through, and we didn't want any of the power tools … Continue reading 2024-10-24 (Thursday) — Working, Journal Catch Up
