(written on the 25th from notes taken previously) Would it be surprising were I to say that I spent most of the day working on my journal catch-up efforts? 🙃 Yurp. Sure did. Journal, journal, journal. Spent a good little while texting back and forth with my sister Heather. And theeeeeeeeeeeen another jumpstart. 😶 Good. … Continue reading 2026-02-20 (Friday) — One Canyon Over… Again

(written on the 19th and 22nd) After waking up for the last time and taking some pictures of the morning light through the clouds on the hills on the far side of the lake, I spent pretty much all day today working on my journal catch-up efforts. I didn't even spend a whole lot of … Continue reading 2026-02-19 (Thursday) — Journal Pain, Reprise

Pretty lackluster day today. After the discouragement and frustration of yesterday, I let myself slide pretty good, which culminated in my not getting to bed until after 5:00 a.m., binging pretty much an entire season of Jack Ryan in one night. 😕 And today... my van has been parked in the exact same spot the … Continue reading 2026-02-18 (Wednesday) — Journal Pain

(written on the 25th from notes taken previously) It's been a bit of a frustrating day today. I woke up early to the sound of someone who had just driven by me. I don't remember when that was, but I'm gonna guess it was around 7:30 ish, and I think I stayed up from that … Continue reading 2026-02-17 (Tuesday) — The Triple Jump

I don't want to be writing this journal entry, as I've been writing all day, and it's been super slow going in those writing efforts, which has been a little disappointing. And I just finished an entry that's taken me probably hours, and it's about to hit 11:30 p.m., and my van is dead on … Continue reading 2026-02-16 (Monday) — Journal Immersion

(written today! 😎) Interesting night last night. I had a crazy-vivid dream about my college girlfriend. It was so real. And I remembered so much of it. In the dream, I had this impression that I was supposed to go see her, watch was odd, because I knew she was married. But I felt like … Continue reading 2026-02-15 (Sunday) — End of the Road

(written today!) Not much of an adventure day today, but definitely  sensorily stimulating. I woke up for the last time relatively late, around 9:30 ish? grateful for the cloud cover, so the van didn't heat up quickly. Despite the cool weather (highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s [It's been an unseasonably cool … Continue reading 2026-02-14 (Saturday) — Oh, Beautiful Blue

(written on the 15th from notes) Today was a migraine day complete with the headache and the nausea. Why couldn't I have just stopped to drink water at reasonable intervals instead of pushing myself until my saliva was a sticky paste before opening My backpack to get my water bottle? 🙃 It's my own darn … Continue reading 2026-02-13 (Friday) — Adventure Hangover

(written on the 15th and 16th from notes taken previously) Wow, what a day! I was grateful to be undisturbed last night and also grateful to have been up early enough to snap a picture of the sun just barely peaking its face above the mountains across the valley from me. It wasn't a great … Continue reading 2026-02-12 (Thursday) — Wish I Spoke Parrot

Oh, how I don't want to write my journal entry tonight! 😅 It's actually just after 12:30 in the morning, and I've written four catch-up journal entries today already and was working on part of the fifth when I realized what time it was and that I still haven't written today's entry. 😅 Ugh. I … Continue reading 2026-02-11 (Wednesday) — Off The Beaten
