Decent night's sleep last night in Cory's Suburban. 😊 Were it not for the gas mileage, I'd keep a big vehicle as my Utah vehicle. Much more comfortable night's sleep. 🙃 Of course, If I just spent a little more time working on making my Civic comfortable, then it would be a lot better, but … Continue reading 2023-12-28 — Brothers Day

I'm not going to lie: It was really nice to sleep in Cory's Suburban again last night. It's much more comfortable than my Civic. 😁 Thanks, my man. It was also great because today Cory and I had planned to hang out pretty much all day, so I was already here, and we did; and … Continue reading 2023-12-27 — Lovelyful 😊

For most of the day today, it was just a repeat of yesterday. After waking up in the morning, I went to Walmart and finally bought some groceries, including a whole crap ton of stuff that was against my diet because... I wasn't doing very well, and I was back on a track toward relapse. … Continue reading 2023-12-26 — Back Toward the Light

Seems like over the last many years, Christmas comes without me really experiencing it, and then it's over, and I think about how long it'll be before it comes again. I forget to listen to Christmas music. I work and work and work and work, and then suddenly there's Christmas, and I wasn't paying attention, … Continue reading 2023-12-25 — Nowhere to Breathe

Night and today difference between yesterday and today. 🥳 I should probably start with last night, since I posted before the night was over. The carry-on saga in Denver actually went a lot better than it did at XNA. 🥳 In Denver, I decided to take even more articles of clothing out of my pack … Continue reading 2023-12-24 — Night and Day

It's been a really hard day today. I almost didn't go on my trip to Utah, deciding only in the last 20 minutes to go. I started the day waking up about 2 a.m., waking up probably to go to the bathroom, and knowing if I checked my phone, I would likely awaken a bunch … Continue reading 2023-12-23 — Heavy Heart, Utah Bound

Cory, you jinxed me. 🙃 You said you were happy I wasn't working today so that I could have a day that was much less likely to be stressful right before I leave on my trip. Ugh. Wednesday was supposed to be my last day of work as I try and get everything buttoned up … Continue reading 2023-12-22 — Convoluted

Today was a to-do list day, and on most accounts, a rather productive one. I closed the sales tax account with the state of Arkansas for my defunct tree service business. Funny that The agencies don't talk to each other. When you shut down a business with the state, not all the agencies get the … Continue reading 2023-12-21 — Happy Solstice!

Last work day of 2023. Gratefully, it went relatively well... until the last car. The first car was a 2007 Toyota Camry that had a coolant leak. Turned out to be a blown radiator, and the radiator that they needed was in a different city a little ways away, so it wasn't realistic to try … Continue reading 2023-12-20 — Last Work Day of 2023

I'm writing this on the 22nd--early in the morning... Everything is a blur when I don't work on cars every day. Each car is a little memory trigger, so the whole day is easy to recap because I have all these little memory triggers that remind me of everything that went on. But without those … Continue reading 2023-12-19 — Haven Hill Creek Park
