(written on the 9th from notes taken previously) Veged out a bit this morning before making the drive back to Porpoise Bay, I think spending most of my time with my eyes glued to my phone, fixated on what's going on in Iran. Crazy times. I don't know if I've mentioned it yet, but I'm... … Continue reading 2026-03-02 (Monday) — A Porpoise Purpose

(written on the 5th and 8th 😕 from notes taken previously) Oh my great golly goodness was it windy last night. 😶 My van was rocking and shaking all night, and I think somewhere around 3:00 in the morning, nervous that my shifter might not be fully in park (I think maybe I didn't position … Continue reading 2026-03-01 (Sunday) — Invercargill Branch

(written on the... 5th 😕 from notes taken previously) Yesterday, the district council people (or whichever government agency they were working for) told me about this free campsite, one of the guys said it was a really beautiful place and that I would love it. He wasn't wrong. 😊 Yes, it was quite crowded (less … Continue reading 2026-02-28 (Saturday) — Niagara Falls!

I really don't want to write an entry right now. Yesterday's kept me up until I think after 3:00 a.m. 😅 Of course, I didn't start the entry until something like 2:00 a.m. 🙃 Then the CamperMate app said that I had to be out by 8:30 in the morning, and though there were no … Continue reading 2026-02-27 (Friday) — Outdated

By the time I woke up for the last time this morning, there were only a few other vehicles in the camping spot. It had been quite crowded when I went to bed, but many left early. Those of us who remained stayed inside our vans, as it was rainy and windy outside. I looked … Continue reading 2026-02-26 (Thursday) — Just… Read The Signs

I did it. It's done. Weeks of effort. Burnout raging at times. So. Many. Days. Dedicated. Taking so. Much. Longer. Than expected. At one point, I think I was more than a month behind, but as of today, the exhausting task has been completed. I'm finally out from underneath the great weight. I'm free. I'm … Continue reading 2026-02-25 (Wednesday) — Uh… What Now? 🙃

(written on the 25th from notes) Oh my goodness my goodness! 🥳🎉🥳 But I'll get to that. 🙃 I started off the morning trying to put first things first, chatting with the Big Guy and listening to another one of my favorite chapters in The Book of Mormon. I then spent a good long time … Continue reading 2026-02-24 (Tuesday) — Shifting Gears

It's well after midnight....coming up on 12:30. 😅 And I continue to pound away at my journal catch up efforts. I never would have guessed that it would take this long and require this much effort. Wow. I'm pretty burnt out. 😅 Good day today, though. I actually started off with a prayer 🤯, and … Continue reading 2026-02-23 (Monday) — Back *Logged* 🥳

(written on the 22nd and 25th, from notes) A week ago today, my friend Cory [shared with permission], after asking him how I could be a blessing, wrote me the following: "There's a part of me that always wishes that I could have the Stephen from Brickyard back. Part of me often thinks it would … Continue reading 2026-02-22 (Sunday) — Brickyard Stephen

(written on the... I think partly on the 24th? and definitely on the 25th... from notes taken previously) How many days will I spend nearly all day trying to catch up on journal entries? 😅 Today was yet another one of those. I woke up at the trailhead to the rest of the glacial valley. … Continue reading 2026-02-21 (Saturday) — Same Story, Different Place. 🙃
