Day three of complete #decaffeination. Crazy vivid dreams again last night. I hope that's not a permanent change, because I really prefer peaceful, dreamless sleep.

Mild headache this morning, but it's not too bad.

Brain fog and disorientation seem to be fading, which of course is a good thing.

Day two of complete #decaffeination. No headache this morning, which is a huge improvement, but I'm still feeling brain-fogged and disoriented. Not as bad as yesterday, though.

CRAZY vivid frickin' dreams last night, and I'm pretty sure I don't like it. Hopefully I'll go back to the quiet, peaceful downy darkness of mostly-dreamless sleep before too long.

Wish me luck. I'm about to attempt my first 100 percent #decaffeinated day in years. Perhaps literally decades.

Pepper's best friend Louie was in the animal hospital for a while. He was just released yesterday, and they got to see each other today. They were ecstatic, and it was adorable.

Pepper says happy #Mondog! I wish I could turn my head that far. It would make backing out of the driveway a lot easier.

I'm really enjoying the #podcast #CityOfTheRails. It's a really fascinating look into the hobo subculture, which I've always found pretty interesting. I have for as long as I can remember. I'll never be a hobo, but part of me understands the draw. There's an allure to it. A life of non-stop adventure, free of society's rules, at the cost of society's protections.

There's a part of me that gets it, and maybe even envies it a little bit.

City of the Rails | iHeart

When journalist Danelle Morton’s daughter skips town to hop trains, she follows her into the train yard, and across America. Join Danelle as she travels the country to understand what drew her daughter into the hidden world of the railroads. Her guides are the rail cops, train engineers, and hobos she meets along the way, each of them with their own extraordinary tales of the beauty and brutality of the rails. A mother/daughter story unfolds across a landscape of vast open spaces and filthy backstreets, as Morton learns how railroads shaped the modern world - from creating our time zones and QR codes, to the first lobbyists and unions. The story of the rails is the story of America, and through 10 episodes, Morton reckons with our history, and her family history, as she tries what she can to bring her daughter home.
