Wild.

I went up to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan on vacation, (hence my silence for a few days), and toured almost the whole thing. I could have driven to Florida and back with as many miles as I put on my car, and I never left my home state. It was beautiful. The top pic …

Day 103

In 24 hours, I will be well on my way up north, (God willing)! I'm so excited! It almost doesn't feel real. Currently, it's a little after 6 a.m. here and I'm enjoying my morning coffee with my cat on the deck. We are trying to get our "outside" time in before it's too hot. …

Day 102

It's Independence Day! My favorite holiday! I kind of wish I could celebrate it by doing something civilly disobedient like opening a business or something, but I can't so... I'm going to help my friend do some deep cleaning. Yay! Then I'm probably going to head to bed early so I can set my sleep …

Day 100

This is my second morning waking up and doing things smoke-free! It's also the 100th day since our governor locked everything down. I'm celebrating one of those. Today, I'm organizing things for my trip in a serious kind of way because I'm headed to a friend's house until probably Sunday morning. I don't want to …

Quitter.

I have gone 30 hours without a cigarette. It's a pretty big deal. I am serious about it this time. I don't want to be a smoker. It smells bad, tastes gross, and most importantly- costs about a zillion dollars. It also irritates other people around me and it isn't what God has planned for …

Yay.

I did it! I cleaned all day. I also did three or four loads of laundry and folded it and put it away. I started a list for my trip and started pulling things to pack. I'm feeling super accomplished. I even found some "me time" during the afternoon by streaming some stuff to watch …

Day 88

The sun is shining and I think my friend and I are headed for the beach! It will be good to get her out of the house and for me to see the water. I'm always better when I see the lake. For those that haven't seen it, Lake Michigan is so large that it's …

Day 87

Well, our "state of emergency" has been extended through the middle of July. Allegedly, the governor still wants to have things opened up by Independence Day, but I am not holding my breath. In the meantime, I've been trying to live as normally as possible. I got my new computer for school yesterday, so I'm …

Day 86

I'm feeling confused today. I mean, it's not serious and I don't know how to even go about explaining it here, but I just feel confused about a situation. There's that. Thankfully, I have therapy here in a little bit to help sort things out. I have to go on a road trip to collect …

Day 85

It's a gorgeous morning this morning, but it's supposed to get HOT. I guess it's just supposed to keep getting warmer through the weekend, so I'm going to have to get up earlier to enjoy the mornings... I had a busy day yesterday, so I'm kind of playing it low key today. I have a …
