(written on November 1st from notes taken previously) I wasn't disturbed last night! 🙏🥳🙏 Though I didn't sleep in much, because the landscapers were out talking nearby and mowing. Once I was ready to go, I was a little nervous firing up my mufflerless van (I'm a still a bit self-conscious of it 😅) First … Continue reading 2026-08-24 (Monday) — Bracket Me!

(written November 1st from notes taken previously) Why, Stephen? Why? Why when you want to hang out inside a church after everybody's gone (to stay out of the brutal heat until the sun goes down) don't you just tell the people who are there that that's what you want to do if they ask who … Continue reading 2026-08-23 (Sunday) — Sneeeaaaky Cool Hideaway

(written today!!! 🥳) It was yet another night of four choices sleep wise. Better than night before, but I don't think I got to bed until 1:00? 2:00? I forgot at this point. I also haven't been doing any favors to myself by parking parallel with a sideways slant. I haven't rolled out of bed … Continue reading 2026-08-22 (Saturday) — Can It!

(written on August 22nd) This is going to be a really short one. 😅 Been dragging all day. Tired. Overwhelmed. Burned out. Stuffocated. I was up later again and started helping my mom pack, specifically focusing on bookshelves full of binders and books. I made it through the binders okay, packed a whole grundle of … Continue reading 2026-08-21 (Friday) — Burned Out, Stuffocated

(written on the 21st from notes) I got up late again, as per usual these days. Crashed hard again last night, so that was... discouraging? I'm almost numb at this point, I think, so... I'm not really feeling anything. Chatted with my mom a bit about moving stuff and all the craziness going on right … Continue reading 2026-08-20 (Thursday) — Cheap Labor 🙃

(written on August 20th) I was up late again this morning, and despite getting a bunch of sleep, all the patience that I've had recently just evaporated somehow overnight. I couldn't find something that I was looking for (I don't even remember what I was looking for at this point), and for whatever reason, I … Continue reading 2026-08-19 (Wednesday) — Happy Help

(written on August 23rd from notes taken previously) I got up late again this morning, late enough that both my mom and Thomas were gone, and the house was locked. I had a key somewhere, but I couldn't find it right away, and I didn't need to be there, so I just headed on over … Continue reading 2026-08-18 (Tuesday) — Busy Like a Beaver

(written on August 23rd from notes taken previously) I don't really remember the morning, so... 😅. I was at my mom's place all morning, and all I really remember was that Thomas and I were going to do lunch, but that we ended up leaving a lot later than expected. I'm sure I kept myself … Continue reading 2026-08-17 (Monday) — Hangin’ W’ Thomas, Junk-food Free?

(Written on August 17th) Boy, was was dragging this morning. My body, normally swollen after heavy labor like yesterday, had a double dose of it from all the sugar I stuffed into it. Perhaps if you're really quiet, you can hear the oompa loompas singing? 😅 I sort of dragged myself around this morning, very … Continue reading 2026-08-16 (Sunday) — A Day of Rest

(written on August 16th) I was up later again today. It gets so hot during the day and doesn't really cool off much at night, so I just don't want to be in the van until later. I think the overnight low was maybe 80°? So that's the coolest it gets. 🥵 Not a fan. … Continue reading 2026-08-15 (Saturday) — No Good Deed… 😅
