Christmas day. I got up early and went to church with everyone except my brother. He couldn’t wake up. My mom was already there because she’s in the bell choir. I hate church and only went as a gift to my mom. But I got through it okay. I considered leaving the [...]

The tingling in my fingers is just wearing off. All day it was cloudy but dry. I was tired from the moment I woke and it lasted all through the work day. So when I got home all I wanted to do was take a nap. When I awoke in the dark [...]

DAY 25912.19.07TREE 184
My crew and I went to Bernheim Forest to remove a large elm today. Then I went home tired again. It’s getting harder and harder to motivate myself to climb with the little daylight that remains after work. Usually after dinner, though, my energy revives. I had a gift I wanted to [...]

DAY 25812.18.07TREE 183
Back to work today. The job was on a new home construction site. When we got there the ground was all frozen. But after a couple hours it started to thaw. Then everything became a muddy mess. Aaron and BJ dropped a few trees and I struggled to drag the brush up [...]

DAY 25712.17.07TREE 181 & 182
I spent a long while on the computer today. My main goal was to job search but I did a lot of other crap too. I have been good about not playing a lot of card games though. Anyway, once I finally got off the computer I went out to [...]
