Hi Gram!Time to climb! I woke up this morning, eager to ride a train and do a hike. I got up and did my morning journal and puzzles, had my breakfast, then checked the weather. I was sad to see rain in the forecast for 2pm, but decided that I would just have to hurry.…

Hi Gram!Another day, another adventure. I slept alright last night. I had a hard time falling asleep – I felt jittery, although I haven’t had any caffeine in a very long time and ate normal foods – but I fell asleep eventually and had a hard time waking up. I did my normal morning routine…

Hi Gram!Another day, another train ride. I woke with my alarm, excited and nervous. Excited because I get to go explore a new city today and ride a train through the countryside. Nervous because I had to make sure I didn’t forget anything behind, walk to the train station, find the right train and track,…

Hi Gram!Rain is forecast for today, so my plan was to get up early and get in a walk before the rain started. I was still restless last night, but once I fell asleep, I slept hard enough to sleep through my alarm. I got up around 8:30, got dressed, and headed out to walk.…

Hi Gram! I slept kinda so-so last night. There’s a motion activated light or something just outside my bedroom window and basically zero sound insulation, so I woke every time a person walked through the halls of the building, then had trouble falling back asleep with the light flashing brighter and dimmer every 30 seconds.…

Hi Gram!Phew, that was an early morning. I had to get to the train station for an 8:23am departure, so I left my apartment around 7:30. I wanted to make sure I got there in plenty of time to find my seat and settle in before it pulled out of the station. I grabbed some…

Hi Gram! Can you believe it? Another beautiful day full of memories! I woke this morning and did my usual puzzles, journaling, and breakfast. I woke a lot last night as my body got over the jet lag, but I’m pretty alert today. I headed over to join a post-WWII and communism walking tour this…

Hi Gram!I had a good sleep last night. The bed was comfortable with a cool breeze blowing in the window. I’ve learned to pack my own pillow as I travel. It’s bulky, but I’ve found that it’s worth the familiarity and comfort. I woke with my alarm, had a small breakfast, and did my morning…

Hi Gram! I made it to Prague! I didn’t sleep well on the plane last night. I was flying premium economy and was tired, so the extra legroom and exhaustion should have had me dozing off right away, but that wasn’t how it went down. I got a couple hours of sleep and got to…

Hi Gram!I’m off to Prague today! I woke up before my alarm, excited for my trip, but with a list of tasks to get done before I flew. I stripped the bed, did my puzzles and journal, and took a shower, then threw a load in the laundry and had my breakfast. I did a…
