Pretty lackluster day today. After the discouragement and frustration of yesterday, I let myself slide pretty good, which culminated in my not getting to bed until after 5:00 a.m., binging pretty much an entire season of Jack Ryan in one night. 😕 And today... my van has been parked in the exact same spot the … Continue reading 2026-02-18 (Wednesday) — Journal Pain

(written on the 25th from notes taken previously) It's been a bit of a frustrating day today. I woke up early to the sound of someone who had just driven by me. I don't remember when that was, but I'm gonna guess it was around 7:30 ish, and I think I stayed up from that … Continue reading 2026-02-17 (Tuesday) — The Triple Jump

I don't want to be writing this journal entry, as I've been writing all day, and it's been super slow going in those writing efforts, which has been a little disappointing. And I just finished an entry that's taken me probably hours, and it's about to hit 11:30 p.m., and my van is dead on … Continue reading 2026-02-16 (Monday) — Journal Immersion

(written today! 😎) Interesting night last night. I had a crazy-vivid dream about my college girlfriend. It was so real. And I remembered so much of it. In the dream, I had this impression that I was supposed to go see her, watch was odd, because I knew she was married. But I felt like … Continue reading 2026-02-15 (Sunday) — End of the Road

(written today!) Not much of an adventure day today, but definitely  sensorily stimulating. I woke up for the last time relatively late, around 9:30 ish? grateful for the cloud cover, so the van didn't heat up quickly. Despite the cool weather (highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s [It's been an unseasonably cool … Continue reading 2026-02-14 (Saturday) — Oh, Beautiful Blue

(written on the 15th from notes) Today was a migraine day complete with the headache and the nausea. Why couldn't I have just stopped to drink water at reasonable intervals instead of pushing myself until my saliva was a sticky paste before opening My backpack to get my water bottle? 🙃 It's my own darn … Continue reading 2026-02-13 (Friday) — Adventure Hangover

(written on the 15th and 16th from notes taken previously) Wow, what a day! I was grateful to be undisturbed last night and also grateful to have been up early enough to snap a picture of the sun just barely peaking its face above the mountains across the valley from me. It wasn't a great … Continue reading 2026-02-12 (Thursday) — Wish I Spoke Parrot

Oh, how I don't want to write my journal entry tonight! 😅 It's actually just after 12:30 in the morning, and I've written four catch-up journal entries today already and was working on part of the fifth when I realized what time it was and that I still haven't written today's entry. 😅 Ugh. I … Continue reading 2026-02-11 (Wednesday) — Off The Beaten

(written today!) Once again, I really don't want to write in my journal right now. I've spent a pretty good chunk of today and yesterday doing journal catch-up work, and the last thing I want to do right now is write yet another journal entry. But... habits. I want to get this habit back, and … Continue reading 2026-02-10 (Tuesday) — Te- Te- Te- Tekapo!

I really don't want to write this journal entry, but how am I going to get back in the habit if I don't get back in the habit? 😅 So here we go... We slept in a fair bit this morning, grateful for the sleep, the cool night, and not getting overheated early by the … Continue reading 2026-02-09 (Monday) — Dust Off The Journal
