delays, frustrations, improvisations The first few days on my land were pleasant, if a bit hot, and then the weather turned progressively worse for 10 / ten straight miserable days in a row. During that time there were many tasks I could not tackle or complete, mainly due to the rain and snow, so I was forced to improvise. Step number 7 / seven in my plan became next in line out of necessity, and before you know it I was busy enough to keep myself from going completely insane. This same flexibility and improvisational attitude have saved me many times over. I encountered so much rock at a certain depth while digging that I was not allowed to go as deep as I’d planned, which meant I needed to adapt and change my plan. Simple yet important things like this and the weather have seemed to plague me since I arrived, but I’ve kept going. The question of whether or not this will pay off remains, and is not yet close to being answered. Further delays have brought things mostly to a standstill, but as before I am trying to utilize what might be empty time by taking care of tasks I hadn’t planned on facing until I was finished and moved into the dome. Things like filling the small(er) cracks in my brick wall with small(er) rocks was supposed to be a leisurely activity, done on a whim instead of being the next thing on the list to do because what I really want to be doing has been put on hold for a week. Since I cannot literally just hang out and relax in the tent, I strive to make every single moment worth something. From the time I get up until I go to bed I want to be responsible, productive, moving forward. Some days that is easy, some it has been nearly impossible, but it is my single-minded goal so adapting and improvising have become part of the process. Again, had I not been able to do so I would have probably gone insane with anger and frustration a week ago. It’s been an intense challenge but I feel I have risen to it, and the proof is in the simple fact that I am still here, getting up every day before the sun to see what I can accomplish. Want to join me? By all means, keep stopping by here and reading, but the way to truly know what I am up to on a daily basis is to go to TikTok. |
