I may have overdone stuffing my belly on doughnuts, but hey, they’re homemade, and we live once. Once stationed in the office, the space heater has made its way to the bedroom, and let me tell you—it’s a game changer. Central air is great, but sometimes, you just want to control the temperature of one room without freezing or overheating the rest of the house. That’s why a heat register magnetic diverter is en route from Amazon. Hopefully we’ll only make a small fix for a big impact on bedroom comfortability.
Speaking of calculated risks, I don’t usually think about gambling, but tonight, nostalgia hit and I remember nights at Wizards Casino, watching Sohka ride the highs and lows of sports betting—teetering between a $1,000 loss and a $5,000 win, all hinging on a single play. Those kinds of swings would have given me a heart attack, but for them, it was just part of the fun.
On a different note, Providence Canyon was incredible. For just a $5 entry fee, we got to experience Georgia’s “Little Grand Canyon.” The 2.5-mile hike wound through deep red cliffs and rugged terrain, a landscape that felt both surreal and untouched. At the gift shop, Evelyn picked out a pin and a map, and for just $2, we grabbed three honey sticks—one of those small, simple joys that make an adventure feel complete.
Some days are about indulgence—doughnuts, drinks, space heaters, and impulse Amazon buys. Some days are about adventure—canyons, hikes, and honey sticks. I like that life lets me have both.
Love always,
Jaclynn
