Guess I'd better write something before I forget everything... So... The 16th (yesterday)... Hard day. Think I slept in and didn't have a good morning routine. I think I had a conversation with Cory for a while in the morning? Talking a lot about the stuff that's tough for me right now. Lots of many … Continue reading 2023-12-16 — One Week to Vacay

2023-12-15 — I. Don’t. Work. In. The. Rain.
So I was doing really well when I wrote my journal entry yesterday, feeling the spirit and feeling peace and calm and everything. That was yesterday morning, writing about the previous day's experiences. I had slept in and only done family study with my mom, and then I spent however long writing my post that … Continue reading 2023-12-15 — I. Don’t. Work. In. The. Rain.
2023-12-14 — Curtain’s Up
You know, sometimes it would be nice to be able to apply all of the principles that I learn all at once. 🙃 After one of the better morning routines that I've ever been able to accomplish since I've begun striving to follow this fabulous but very challenging morning routine, when I went out this … Continue reading 2023-12-14 — Curtain’s Up
2023-12-13 — Oh, What Courage!
I'm really grateful for people who face monumental fears and overcome them. This morning, I woke up and learned that a friend of mine who's been struggling to do something that she's felt like she should do but that was excruciatingly difficult...did it. I know that fear, though in different circumstances. I've never had to … Continue reading 2023-12-13 — Oh, What Courage!
2023-12-12 — Mini Excavator Day
Little bit late on my post from yesterday. Whoops! Yesterday I'm going to say that we're going to call it mini x day.

2023-12-11 — I Would If I Could
Well, it's been quite the day today. First time I've had a good auto repair day in a good little while, at least that's what it feels like. I struggled getting to bed last night. I had taken an hour long nap during the day yesterday because I was exhausted, but it totally messed me … Continue reading 2023-12-11 — I Would If I Could
2023-12-10 — On Life Support
Let's just say that my career as a car mechanic is on life support. 🙃 I'm ready to hang it up today. They're just so many other things that I want to do, and time just marches on so quickly. I turn 42 in 2 weeks. And I'll be on a plane still with a … Continue reading 2023-12-10 — On Life Support

Morning Gospel study, I think I slept in a little bit? But I woke up in time for family study, oh no! I think I got … Continue reading 2023-12-09 — Almost Done–With One Side
2023-12-08 — Skid Day
Gosh, it was quite the day yesterday! First thing in the morning, I went over to the AutoZone in Pea Ridge to take back a mountain of parts that I ended up not needing. All the brake rotors and brake pads from that brake job that didn't need to be done, and the fuel pump … Continue reading 2023-12-08 — Skid Day
2023-12-07 — A Little Pressure… Wash
Hola, my folks! Little boy tired. 🙃 Let's see... I didn't do well last night... not at all. I came home from work angry and frustrated with the day and the jobs and everything that's been going on. I texted my friend to let him know that I was vulnerable to relapse, and we texted … Continue reading 2023-12-07 — A Little Pressure… Wash
