(written on the 3rd and 6th from notes taken previously) It was cold last night again. Did I remember to reduce my layers? I think so? But maybe I didn't reduce them enough? I don't remember. 🙃 I definitely didn't get enough sleep, but that's ok. Today was... great. 😊 My days just keep getting … Continue reading 2026-05-02 (Saturday) — Rapid City Delivery

(written on the 1st and 3rd from notes) It's going to be hard to get used to writing in my journal every night. 😅 But I did it for years, so I can do it again. Let's do this.💪 Pep talk complete. 🙃 Let's hope it works. 😆 Sometime during the wee hours of the … Continue reading 2026-05-01 (Friday) — South Dakoter!

(written on the 30th and 1st from notes) I'm tired. 🙃 And I'm debating... Do I finish this journal entry tonight and make progress toward getting back to the ideal I once had of never putting head to pillow until I'd written my journal for the day? Or do I go to bed, because I'm … Continue reading 2026-04-30 (Thursday) — Winter Wonderland

(written on the 29th and 30th) I kept waking up earlier than my alarm this morning, and looking at my phone, I noticed that the Asics shoe guy from Facebook Marketplace had messaged me, saying he'd leave the shoes on his front porch at 9:00 a.m. If I still wanted them. Getting new-in-damaged box three-digit … Continue reading 2026-04-29 (Wednesday) — To Tetonestone!

(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
