(written just after midnight of the 11th, early morning of the 12th from notes taken previously) Gratefully, I was undisturbed last night. I'm grateful that the rest area allows for up to 8 hours of stopping. There were a pretty good number of us taking advantage of the 8-hour rest time. I don't know if … Continue reading 2025-05-09 (Friday) — Ocean By The Road

2025-05-08 (Thursday) — Bounce Back!
(written on the 10th and 11th from notes) I think I might have gotten something like 11 hours of sleep last night. 🥳 It was glorious. 😊 I don't think I got up until somewhere around 10 or 11 o'clock, but I didn't miss much, as the morning fog off the ocean was so thick … Continue reading 2025-05-08 (Thursday) — Bounce Back!
2025-05-07 (Wednesday) — Beautiful California
(written on the 9th from notes taken previously) Two nights in a row with very little sleep. 😅 Sadly, part of that was because I relapsed in porn et al... badly. 😞 Media... movies... TV... such huge triggers for me. I've been slipping pretty good lately. I've developed so many bad habits... so many patterns … Continue reading 2025-05-07 (Wednesday) — Beautiful California
2025-05-06 (Tuesday) — Goodbye Family!
(written on the 9th from notes taken previously) I definitely didn't get very much sleep last night. Between going to bed at like 3:00 something and getting up at like 6:00 ish, it was a rough night. 😅 I left the neighborhood early because I didn't want to cause problems, not that I would have, … Continue reading 2025-05-06 (Tuesday) — Goodbye Family!
2025-05-05 (Monday) — Long Time, No See!
(written on the 9th from notes taken previously) Definitely nice to be able to wake up in the casino upper parking lot, no worrying about anyone bothering me during the night. Gratefully, I've been on this trip for a month, and had zero issues with anybody any night for the whole trip so far. 🥳 … Continue reading 2025-05-05 (Monday) — Long Time, No See!
2025-05-04 (Sunday) — Butter & Honey
Such a beautiful day today. 🥰 I am grateful for God's gifts of the butter & honey. I'm grateful when he gifts me the opportunity to taste what it's like to have his heart, even if it's just to a small degree for a short time. Last night I let go and walked away from … Continue reading 2025-05-04 (Sunday) — Butter & Honey
2025-05-03 (Saturday) — Family Time 🥰
Tired. Ready to sleep. Do I have the mental strength to write my post tonight? ... Well, it's now the 4th, so apparently I didn't. 😅 Good day yesterday. 😊 Slept in a little bit, did some gospel study, ate breakfast, having milk for the first time in... gosh... I don't know how many years. … Continue reading 2025-05-03 (Saturday) — Family Time 🥰
2025-05-02 (Friday) — Discipline
Discipline. I want to get back to the level of discipline I used to have. Choosing to write my journal entry tonight when I'm tired and don't want to, as small of a choice as that might be, is part of the effort to return to discipline. I want to get back to where I … Continue reading 2025-05-02 (Friday) — Discipline
2025-05-01 (Thursday) — Yosemite, Reprise
(written on the second) Happy May! I had a decent night sleep last night. No one bothered anyone that was parked there (there were probably four or five of us?). I'm still congested, and I'm coughing all the time, but I'm getting better at this point, gratefully, and I think I slept decently well. I … Continue reading 2025-05-01 (Thursday) — Yosemite, Reprise
2025-04-30 (Wednesday) — Another Bridal Veil Falls
(written on the 2nd from notes taken earlier) I woke up to a very foggy morning, my van perched on the mountainside/cliffside with the ocean far below. No one bothered me through the night, and I got a decent amount of sleep. 🥳 I don't remember if I mentioned it last night, but I noticed … Continue reading 2025-04-30 (Wednesday) — Another Bridal Veil Falls
