(Written on the 30th from notes taken previously) I don't remember what time I got up or really much of anything that I did this morning. 😆 I think I worked on my journal a bit? Once Richard was able to pull away from work (about lunch time), I hung out with him for a … Continue reading 2026-04-28 (Tuesday) — Different Family Connections

(written on the 29th from notes taken previously) Today was visiting day. 😊 I slept in a fair bit, not leaving my little parking lot until after 11:00. As I drove away, I recognized that I wasn't going to be returning to that spot again on this trip, as it's almost time to leave. I … Continue reading 2026-04-27 (Monday) — Friends and Family

(written on the 29th from notes taken previously) As I usually do, when I spend the night at that particular Maverick, I left the station relatively early in the morning to head over to the nearby Walmart parking lot to finish my night's sleep. It was a wet morning, but I got a little bit … Continue reading 2026-04-26 (Sunday) — 🥰

(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 🙏
