I’ve been working out of the back office. Maddy at the dining table in the living room. In little moments, I notice it slip away. I used to cling to the images I have of her on my phone. Obsess over the beauty and importance of her sending me a pic from her desk at …
I do my best to get into routines. Meditation, exercise, waking at 6, drinking tea, stretching before bed, and making sure to always cross everything off my to-do list. This usually lasts about 5-8 days before the routine itself starts to feel like more things I have to do. At which time I lose motivation …
9:13 a.m. I pooped so hard I wanted to grab it out of the toilet and use it to start building condos. Maybe one of those Pencils of Promise projects in Ecuador or something. Breakfast was as quick as it was small. Have to get out of the house and make my follow-up meeting at …

I cried a little bit this morning when I finished my vows. I’m going to read them to her when we get married at City Hall, just the two of us, so no one can take that moment away. Then we got into a bit of an argument. I’ve been gone almost two weeks. The …
2.1.15 Day 22 Not hard to write 500 words today. Started with a nice open-mouthed nap on the 1 hour flight to Thailand. We scooted to our hotel in Ao Nang and I think we’re all pretty used to Bali villa life because when they weren’t there to greet us and carry my luggage up …
