    2021-01-25 Waking Up in Nevada 💃☔️

    Yesterday when I talked about gettin outta town, I really didn’t think I would be waking up today in Nevada!!  The original plan? To have the car loaded and ready to jet at 5:30am. Drive for 9 hours, see the sunrise from I-29 south, and reach our destination in Oklahoma by 4 or 5pm.  Then…

    2021-01-24 On the Eve of Adventure

    We had snow yesterday and it looks like it was a precursor to the winter storm headed our way tomorrow. The perfect time to get the fuck out of dodge. We’re skipping town just as the fun will be starting tomorrow at 6am. I’m just hoping things don’t get too bad for my daughters sake. …

    2021-01-23 Up and Down, Round and Round

    It’s been a strange week and I’m very much looking forward to shifting gears. The focus this weekend is on vacation prep. That’s right.. I said vacation.  It’s still too sketch to fly so we basically put a pin in Omaha and did a radial circle around it with a driving distance of  10 hours…

    2020-10-11 Winter Park Getaway Day 2: Aclimation and Viewpoint

    I woke before the sun again today. 5AM I think. I’m afflicted with the inability to sleep.. in. I mean, I’ve been able to, in the early days of my life and in more recent years if I’ve taken something to help me sleep. But not now. And certainly not here, in a bed that…

    2020-10-09 Waking Up in Winter Park

    Yesterday was a loooonnnnng day. We did not get on the road until about 6PM as Jim had a full day of work in CB. They say Denver is a 7 hour drive from Omaha, but I believe that’s only possible if you 1) Have a serious fire behind you and 2) Aren’t afraid to…

    2020-10-08 Miss SugarCookie is On the Move!

    I woke up this morning with more vigor than I’ve had in a while. And when breakfast was over I bounded toward my treadmill with a little more spring in my step. The primary reason for this energy comes from the fact that today I’m going to be getting in my car for a weekend…

    2020-06-30 Take Back the City Tour: Day 15 Colorado Wrap Up

    We arrived home from our Colorado road trip late afternoon Sunday. It’s now Tuesday. That’s what happens. And.. if I don’t take the time To reflect reflected on our trip, it will start to slip away… At the very least, I’d like to capture the highlights so I don’t forget them. Pictures are worth a…

    2020-06-27 Take Back the City Tour: Day 🤷‍♀️ Health Check

    Somewhere along the way I’ve gotten messed up on what day it is. That happens when you miss accounting some days and double up on others. What I have been keeping track of on my handy-dandy paper calendar is the following: What my Lorazepam dose is What week it is in my plan to come…
