Woke up late after a crappy night’s sleep. My back is stiff again, and honestly? I’ve just felt weird in my own skin the last couple of days. Like I’m wearing someone else’s hoodie and it’s all scratchy and wrong. I did a tarot reading last night to see what was going on in my […]
Work Clothes and Emotional Laundry
Today felt productive again, even if I didn’t exactly start with a game plan. I finally got the laundry done and hung up, and sorted my clothes between the two rigs. It’s not fancy, just a bit of color coding. My grungy “road work” clothes are now in the travel trailer, and my slightly more […]
Vodka, Therapy, and Well Wishes
Today started with therapy at 9am. Which meant a 6am scramble to gather enough water for a shower and to wash my hair. Normally I don’t care if I’m a sweaty hobgoblin while I’m working solo, but showing up to therapy that way feels unfair to everyone involved. Afterwards, I headed into town for a […]
A Soft Day in the Middle of the Storm
Today was beautifully simple. I reorganized my closets, did a little cleaning, and made a batch of homemade chili crisp (chilis, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, shallots, in oil). It made the whole camper smell amazing. Managed to catch up on my journaling, prepping for June and getting my thoughts down on paper. I even prettied it […]
When Rest Feels Unsafe
Woke up at 7:30am with about 3.5 hours of sleep under my belt. No surprise, my body’s basically throwing a tantrum. “If you won’t rest, I’ll take your function,” it says. Fair enough. Motivation? Gone. But honestly, that makes sense. I’ve been daydreaming about taking two full days off to reset. Not some half-assed break […]
Still Not There Yet
Technically, the GOM’s supposed to leave tomorrow… but honestly? I think it’s going to be a few more days. We’re still not there yet. The good news? We’ve both gotten better at catching our frustration before it boils over. No yelling, no tears. Just quiet sighs and a lot of patience. I’m trying really hard […]
The Mental Load No One Sees
Rough night. No real sleep. My AC’s not working properly. Pretty sure it just needs a clean and the usual maintenance. You know, one of those tasks “on the list” that I keep pushing off until I have a window of time and energy. I’m hoping I can get to it before it completely gives […]
Potatoes Gone Wild & Disney Before Dawn
Another 3:30am wake-up. Ugh. This time, I tried something different – stayed in bed and threw on a couple of old Disney movies (Jungle Book and Dumbo). It helped a little, but I still don’t know when I drifted off. Maybe around 6? I was back up by 8. A solid 5–6 hours of sleep […]
Growing Radishes and Resilience
Today felt like one of those slow but steady wins. I woke up with a full night’s sleep (finally!), tackled my to-do list, wrestled with a few frustrations, and still found a little magic in the garden. Watching my radishes and potatoes push through the soil reminds me, growth happens even when life feels a […]
Solar Tests & Crafty Vibes
Testing solar setups, journaling wins, crafty chaos, and a bit of Dune to end the day. Off-grid life is busy but beautiful.
