(written on the 26th and 29th from notes) I actually slept in today! 🥳 It was nice to get a decent amount of sleep. I've had bags under my eyes, something that I don't think I dealt with much, if at all, in New Zealand? 🤔 I wonder what causes bags under the eyes? ...guess … Continue reading 2026-04-25 (Saturday) — Marketplace Success!

(written on the 25th from notes taken yesterday) I was grateful to be undisturbed last night, and I slept decently well for the time that I was in the Maverick parking lot. As usual, I headed right up Provo Canyon to my little parking spot next to Slide Canyon. 😊 I was concerned to find … Continue reading 2026-04-24 (Friday) — L4, L5

(written on the 23rd, 25th, 28th, and 29th 😆) I think it finally dawned on me today that for perhaps most of the last several years, for whatever reason, I have approached my relationship with God and spiritual things from the attitude that in order to be intellectually honest, and in order to have a … Continue reading 2026-04-23 (Thursday) — Bounce Back

(written on the 27th and 28th) The nerve issues this morning were a little more... unnerving to me. Each day this goes on, I get more and more nervous. In the hopes of maybe somehow loosening up the nerves, I walked a loop around the neighborhood a couple of times, but to no avail. Starting … Continue reading 2026-04-22 (Wednesday) — Cracked

(written on the 26th and 27th from notes taken previously) I was up a lot earlier than I wanted to be, getting maybe 5 hours of sleep. Not so good after the significant lack of sleep yesterday and the ongoing lack of sleep from the last week or so. And boy was I groooggy! 🙃 … Continue reading 2026-04-21 (Tuesday) — Back in the Swing

(written on the 20th and 25th from notes taken previously) Well, today was a 42-hour April 20th. 😉 They-two of those hours were spent either in airports or on planes, with not a single leg of the trip going as planned. 🙃 But I'll get there... Let's see... I was up early, as you might … Continue reading 2026-04-20 (Monday) — There And Back Again

(written on the second 20th 🙃 and the 21st) Wow. 😊 I spent much of the day immersed in gospel stuff, be it at church (I actually went today 🤯), on YouTube, on the Church's Library app, or via in-depth query chains with Google's Gemini AI. And the day was so. much. brighter. 🌞 I … Continue reading 2026-04-19 (Sunday) —  Hope and Excitement 🙏

(written on the 20th from notes) Why is it that most of my escapes are destructive to me in one way or another? Crap food... news, sports news, TV, movies... porn... Ok, news isn't inherently destructive... well... actually... maybe? Most news nowadays probably qualifies as destructive, because the vast majority is negative and designed to … Continue reading 2026-04-18 (Saturday) — Mental Imaging

(written on the 18th) I was up early this morning, as per usual lately. Don't think the sun was even visible yet. Really rough night spine wise last night. It's an interesting juxtaposition... wanting to sleep but also knowing that it's a rare night when I find a position that doesn't exacerbate symptoms and increase … Continue reading 2026-04-17 (Friday) — Grok Dental

(written on the 17th and 18th) Let's see... I'm struggling to remember the day... I was up early, of course. It rained on and off both last night and this morning, I think. Was kind of funny... When I got back out of the cave last night, it was pretty much a cloudless sky, the … Continue reading 2026-04-16 (Thursday) — A Facebook Problem?
