Weekly Reflection: New(ish?) Beginnings
One of the main things that holds me back from posting on here anymore is that Florida is a lot less picturesque than Montana, so I never actually have pictures to attach to anything I would write. But, this week I took some pictures of this new raccoon buddy who has taken up residence in…

Weekly (lol) Reflection: Goodbye Montana
This time next week, I’ll be somewhere in North Dakota, headed back east, leaving the west behind me. But back in April, I was sitting in a business lecture, not paying attention. I was scouring job boards, stressed out of my mind as I watched all my peers shore up their post grad plans. I…

Weekly Reflection: Homecoming
Whoops, it’s been a while again. Everything with Max has been good news ever since his surgery. This week, I was able to fly home to see him for a few days, and it was so relieving to actually get to see him in person. He’s gaining weight back and starting to look like himself.…

Weekly Reflection: Max is a Unit
In context, it feels weird to even try to talk about anything other than my brother this week. A lot of the people who read this routinely will have already heard this by now, but this week Max was diagnosed with a brain tumor, that was then removed the very next day. I got a…

Weekly Reflection: Too Much and Not Enough
I kinda forgot this week even happened. I’ll have to go back and check my notes… This week blew by so fast, and not even for any reason I can particularly remember. I only worked three days this week, but for whatever reason that part felt like the longest work-week I’ve had since I’ve been…

Weekly Reflection: Lightning Days and Glacial Months
WordPress seems to have changed my very carefully chosen font and I’m not sure how to change it back. This one sucks, I’m sorry you have to see this. Anyways. It’s been a bit since I’ve been able (made the time) to sit down and write one of these, or much of anything. I bought…

Weekly Reflection: New Roads & New Years
I’ve survived another year! This past week was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. I haven’t been able to go to the gym at all since I hurt my shoulder, but this has given me some time back in the mornings. I’ve been able to get organized, catch up on sleep,…

Weekly Reflection: Time, More Time
I’m starting to settle into life out here, and that comes with pros and cons. Post grad life is presenting itself with basically nothing but time, and that’s as much of a problem as it is an opportunity. I’ve never been good with using my free time if there’s something else to do in my…

Weekly Reflection: The Unexpected
It isn’t often that Montana is in the news, but unfortunately it decided to be this week. For the first time since 1988, and for the first time in an apparent very long time for any reason other than wildfires, Yellowstone is currently completely closed. The latest reports are saying that it might open again…

Weekly Reflection: Highways and Hills
Two thousand, three hundred and ninety miles; ten states; four national parks, two national monuments, and two state parks; $1002.20 in gas. What a journey this past week has been. While it may have cost me an arm and a leg to get out here, never in my life have I seen so much in…
