[0:00]good morning fellow humans it was a mink
[0:03]I saw
[0:04]yesterday it was so cool I didn't know I
[0:08]didn't know there were minks in Kentucky
[0:09]apparently they're very
[0:11]common near a lake and they I didn't
[0:14]even know that they swam in the water
[0:16]and stuff like that I knew nothing about
[0:18]them I know a whole lot now they are so
[0:20]cool minks are so
[0:22]awesome and I got to see one in the wild
[0:26]which was so cool I got to see one right
[0:28]here
[0:30]away from the water out in the land
[0:32]doing whatever it was doing and we just
[0:34]startled each other and it saw me and it
[0:37]ran under in my RV and got up on the
[0:39]tire and it was so
[0:43]beautiful so that was a very special
[0:46]experience I'm going to remember that
[0:47]for the rest of my life so I don't want
[0:50]to um draw any conclusions yet but I've
[0:53]St pretty well the past two nights 8
[0:56]hours the night before 7 hours last
[0:58]night so
[1:01]happy about that I really needed sleep
[1:04]Bailey says good
[1:06]morning good morning right
[1:09]Bailey good morning well that ought to
[1:13]give you an idea of how close people are
[1:15]right
[1:16]now there is no one out there so I'm
[1:19]happy to share that you know they're
[1:23]they got stuff just all over the place
[1:27]they're here till Wednesday
[1:30]um and using my my um analytical skills
[1:35]I guess you know I was like troubleshoot
[1:38]this so I got on on the recreation.gov
[1:41]website and I just figured out how long
[1:44]is that spot um reserved for you
[1:48]know oh man it's not bad though
[1:52]especially cuz you know I've been going
[1:54]and doing things I don't know what I'm
[1:56]doing today I actually had thought last
[1:59]night that maybe we had go back to Lake
[2:00]Cumberland today after going to the
[2:02]store and getting like one of those
[2:05]inflatable doughnut things so that I can
[2:07]just chill on the water and um just a
[2:11]couple of items so that I can swim there
[2:13]and
[2:15]feel um like I'm prepared because um I
[2:19]wanted to swim yesterday I just didn't
[2:21]think that um I was ready for that I was
[2:24]sitting right there on the lake
[2:26]and like you know I'm not wearing the
[2:28]right shoes
[2:31]my back bag is not waterproof and I
[2:34]don't have a towel when I get out of the
[2:36]water like you know that's just how my
[2:37]mind works I'm thinking of all the
[2:39]systems
[2:40]involved
[2:42]so I just chilled there I didn't get in
[2:45]the water but I want to but I don't know
[2:48]I feel kind of sore today I might not
[2:50]today
[2:53]um I haven't taken it easy even one day
[2:56]yet I don't think I'm not sure but I
[2:59]don't think so right right
[3:05]um I don't know I guess we'll see you
[3:07]know I'll see where I how I feel in an
[3:09]hour or two
[3:12]cuz I might want to I
[3:16]just I do like getting out of this
[3:18]camper you know I just that's making my
[3:21]life a whole lot better I truly can't
[3:23]get over the fact I saw a mink in the
[3:25]wild it was so freaking awesome like I
[3:29]just right here I saw a me AI told me
[3:33]they're very playful creatures like
[3:35]squirrels and I'm just
[3:38]like like I'm just just I don't know I
[3:40]don't know why it's impacting me this
[3:42]way I just thought it was the coolest
[3:44]thing ever
[3:46]and I wish I could just see more of them
[3:50]like I guess they live near lakes and
[3:52]you know water and um they're very
[3:55]playful creatures like squirrels I
[3:58]just I see why they just that that thing
[4:01]was so awesome and I also told me they
[4:05]have artificial farms
[4:07]for harvesting them for their
[4:11]fur they don't even use any other part
[4:13]of the animal they just collect its fur
[4:17]and can imagine how I feel about that I
[4:21]had I have so many mosquito bites that
[4:24]it's just like ridiculous how bad it is
[4:27]I thought that I did pretty well well I
[4:30]you know I knew at summer I kind of
[4:33]thought I was prepared I mean i' had
[4:34]been spraying myself with the repellent
[4:36]when I went hiking at the Natural Bridge
[4:38]like I had to do that several times or
[4:40]my rain jacket the whole
[4:43]time thinking that would act as a
[4:45]barrier to them but they managed to just
[4:48]get me
[4:49]everywhere so I discussed that with AI
[4:52]and now I have to do a different
[4:54]strategy in the future
[4:56]because very uncomfortable not fun oh
[5:00]yeah I should have mentioned at 7:00 in
[5:01]the morning there is a lot of practical
[5:04]things I need to do today so I'm
[5:06]thinking maybe I'll just go to the 47
[5:08]Bridges you know for a short hike there
[5:11]and
[5:12]then
[5:13]um I I need to decide what thing I'm
[5:16]focusing on today but um I'll do that I
[5:21]finally got this thing fairly
[5:25]organized I got all my clothes and these
[5:27]let me zoom out a little got all my
[5:30]clothes in there and in there like pants
[5:32]and shorts and shirts and all this stuff
[5:35]that's you know got places to be stored
[5:38]couldn't find anywhere for my
[5:40]pajamas and for those of you who've been
[5:42]foll me a long time you know when I got
[5:44]those and I've never worn them until
[5:46]today I'm wearing pajamas so um just
[5:50]need to find a place for them and for my
[5:52]towels so I'm
[5:54]still I I'm going to have to figure that
[5:57]out I mean I everything needs a place if
[5:59]I I can just find a place for everything
[6:01]then everything will go so much easier
[6:05]also got my Lake Cumberland map up there
[6:08]so happy about that I just love that
[6:11]area and that is just a beautiful
[6:13]map M's going into the cab area it's his
[6:18]space he's got his little scratching
[6:20]post
[6:25]there it's a new
[6:27]day got to make Tom most of
[6:31]it okay so I've settled on a plan I'm
[6:33]going to go to the 47 Bridges hang you
[6:35]know just hike there it's a simple day
[6:37]you know simple hike and just give me
[6:41]energy and then to come back deal with
[6:43]the camper finally figure out how to get
[6:45]things put away I haven't had an idea
[6:49]for my towels and um pajamas so I
[6:53]think I think I can do this today if I
[6:56]just really focus you know make myself
[6:58]Focus just doing went and then
[7:04]Tuesday and Wednesday um well let me
[7:08]keep thinking on
[7:11]that so it occurs to me that I'm
[7:14]developing you know new patterns and new
[7:18]new
[7:19]routines get up in the morning I talk to
[7:22]you guys I don't even have coffee and I
[7:24]just leave I go hiking somewhere
[7:27]somewhere natural
[7:30]think about what I'm going to do that
[7:31]day and then do that um it's it's a kind
[7:35]of routine that someone like me can
[7:37]actually get behind because I live in
[7:39]flux and I can't have I can't have rigid
[7:44]routines they don't work for me
[7:47]so and these are healthy ones so I'm
[7:50]pretty happy about it I brought my
[7:52]shower bag for the when I get back I can
[7:54]take care of that building to new rou

[10:46]I'm integrating other aspects of life
[10:48]that are very important so I think
[10:51]through I'm getting there I my growth
[10:54]journey I feel like I've you know it's
[10:59]quite far I'm doing quite well you see
[11:02]that little ducky in there I gave him
[11:04]that he is a jogger he just gunes around
[11:07]jogging and um I saw him the last time I
[11:11]was here and when I got back here I left
[11:12]him a little note with that duck I said
[11:14]if you don't know what this is just look
[11:16]up duck duck Jeep I said it's just a way
[11:19]of spreading positivity in the world and
[11:20]you should be an honorary member he put
[11:23]it in this vehicle that's so
[11:25]cool it's so cool when a kind act you
[11:28]can tell a kind act was a appreciate it
[11:31]truly didn't know how he'd react to
[11:33]that I didn't want him thinking like
[11:36]he's a lot younger than me I didn't want
[11:38]them thinking that it was something it
[11:42]wasn't um to me the Jeep Community is
[11:45]all
[11:46]about the
[11:48]outdoors and you don't come out here
