Instead of being woken up by storms, I was jolted awake by a nightmare about Tom falling on his back. He was kneeling on the edge of his bed, playing with the rat, when he rolled backward and hit...

---

The storm missed us, and I slept great! I have wonderful energy tonight. Hopefully, it’s mostly because of the bed and not the fact that I took ibuprofen before bed. Next time I order from Temu, ...

---

I was reading an article about the perception of old age and how it changes depending on how old we are, and it’s so true. When you’re under 25, you see 50 years old as ancient, and when you’re m...

---

About two hours before I was supposed to wake up, I was awakened by a storm. Initially, I felt extremely tired and thought it would affect me the rest of the day, but surprisingly, I perked up qu...

---

It never ceases to amaze me just how much noise humans generate. It’s not quite as bad as it was back in California, though. Should taper off in the next hour or so. Fortunately, it’s a weeknight...

---

I snored myself awake when I could have used another hour or two of sleep and finally I said, I gotta do something about this shit. Sleep cursed or not, no getting around it or not, I’ve got to a...

---

I am totally stuck as far as where to go with my story. Okay, so the story is about two women who basically blackmail each other. Natasha left the US (and her husband) to hide out in Germany beca...

---

It took 293 days and 2,906 miles, but I finally reached the finish line last night! I got almost 46,000 coins, even though there isn’t anything I can do with them. It was a beautiful ride. There ...

---

Just 19 more miles to go! I’m 99% through, and now my rank is 97. It took over two years of riding just to get to Club 100. I don’t expect to make it to the finish line today, but I should tomorr...

---

Tom’s outside setting up the new automatic sprinkler operator. He could even set it up to be smart if he wants to. This way, whenever there’s a power failure, like there was for a second today, h...

---

I have 58 miles left of my 2,900-mile ride, and my rank is now 99! I love this time of year. The park is so much quieter, and there’s less traffic on the roads. My new most hated month is definit...

---

For Tom’s 67th birthday, we got him some free ice cream at Publix. We both loaded up on things we definitely shouldn’t have gotten but are enjoying for the sake of variety. We got everything from...

---

Yesterday was a bit frustrating because I was doing my ride when the app crashed, and I lost my progress. I had gone 5 miles and had to do those miles over again. This isn’t the first time this h...

---

Made it to Maine, the final state! I have 123 miles to go. That was a really quick summer because Toni is already back. Unless she’s letting someone else drive her car, which I doubt, she wasn’t ...

---

I’m not happy with my latest Walmart purchases. One item I got was crackle nail polish, but it barely crackles. Instead, it just looks like really bad nail polish that cracked unintentionally rat...

---

I got up at 11:30 PM. The rat was waiting for me, but I needed to wake up first, so I gave her a treat. Then it rained for a little bit. I had my coffee and made a shrimp, tofu, and veggie stir-f...

---

Read an interesting article about the many reasons why and how World War III and nuclear wars could break out. I’m torn right now on my opinion because I’ve been hearing more about this than ever...

---

Tom crashed shortly after I got up and was whining that Tinkerbella doesn’t love him anymore because she never wanted to come out and see him, LOL. Not long after he crashed, she wanted to come o...

---

Not much to journal about tonight other than that I’m kind of pissed to have paid what I paid for these sheets just to find that two months later, they’re already pilling. I slept a lot better a...

---

I’m excited at the thought of saving money, even if we won’t be able to start until the end of the year, so we can have options one day. I don’t like being locked into any one place, even a good ...

---

Tom was nice enough to hook up a microphone, enabling speech-to-text to hear me better. I have the laptop under the little stand the monitor is on, and it’s partially open. I don’t really have an...

---

Tonight is definitely a Benadryl night. Technically, I’ll be going to bed late in the morning but for the last couple of nights, I didn’t take it and I’ve been waking up a lot, which has caught u...

---

My poor little ratty hurt one of her back legs somehow. This is common with rats, just like people sometimes twist their ankles. She seems to be doing a little better, and we’re keeping an eye on...

---

I’ve decided that from now on, if something is private, it doesn’t go in online journals, even if the posts are set to private. I may or may not schedule future private content to post after I’m ...

---

I don’t think we’ll ever have that much extra money, but instead of getting a Fitbit someday, I want to get a Garmin watch. I like the idea of it telling me how much sleep I need the next night—o...
