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.

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

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!

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.

I can't remember... What did I do yesterday? It was Saturday... I remember spending a good amount of time down at the deck. But gosh, what did I do?

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

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.

How the crap does general motors stay in business? Good freaking crap. Their trucks have had me at my wits end today. Take the next left on. The first one was going back to that 2019 Silverado that had the completely busted oil cooler hose. Based on the information that I got from general motors, … Continue reading 2023-12-06 — American Junk
