The trip home felt quick but relaxing. I expected to have to decompress for at least a week upon my arrival, but I already felt rested when I arrived. In the Army, recovery is what you do after returning from the field. It’s a process to get everything ready to go again. Normally, this processContinue reading “Recovery”

Getting Home
I felt like a time traveler. I changed the time on the truck three times over the course of the trip, gaining an hour each time.
La Fin
By the time I post this, I believe we (I) will be done. Some of the planters are going back to the farm, but not enough to warrant a full-time cook. I’ve started looking at maps to plot my way home, and I’m looking forward to having a house, with a toilet, my own bedContinue reading “La Fin”

The Aftermath
So, I was hacked and subsequently went to Facebook jail. It happened at the worst possible time, while I was in the Bush without signal. Had I been in a place where I could respond to the hacking right away, I don’t think it would have been so bad. Ultimately, I lost ten plus yearsContinue reading “The Aftermath”

Life is messy. Well, for some of us it is. I am messy. I always have been. As much as I try to have a place for everything, it doesnt take much for the whole system to fall apart. This might be why I like living and working in small spaces. If organization is key,Continue reading “Messy”
