GOOD MORNING

I have zero reasons to be sleepy right now. That, however, doesn’t change the fact that I feel like another half-hour of sleep is in order.

I hope I get some bonus points for posting while half asleep!

This morning, Jason and I are going over to Sea Turtle, Inc. to help out a little. We’ll be helping with some routine maintenance on one of the holding tanks.

This afternoon, I should try to get some work done—also, somewhat routine… I’ll just be doing some edits and revisions.

Sorry if this comes off as a very short entry into the Journal. I’m sure you understand, though.

I’ll check back in soon. And, I’ll try to be fully awake!

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

This morning at Sea Turtle, Inc., Jason and I helped with some routine care on one of the rehabilitation tanks. Nothing dramatic—just steady, careful work.

The work was part of their routine upkeep. We drained one of the tanks, scrubbed algae from the walls, rinsed everything down, and checked the filters to make sure the water flow stays healthy. The turtles are moved only when necessary, so we worked slowly and quietly around them. It’s simple work, but it matters. Clean water means less stress, faster healing, and a better chance at release.

What wasn’t routine was meeting Elias Estephan, a marine wildlife biologist who works here. It was a little bit of a surprise that he recognized us.

“I met your father at Whataburger not long ago…” Elias said. “I’ve been following your story for a while now.”

“Dad mentioned that,” I said.

He turned to Jason. “So you’re the guy that puts a smile on her face and takes her picture. It’s nice to meet you.”

“Likewise.” Jason replied. “We’ve had a few chances to work with sea turtles. Growing up in NW Indiana, I never knew how important they are to ocean ecosystems.”

Elias nodded. “They play a big role in keeping seagrass and coastal habitats healthy. The big thing we can do is keep their nesting areas safe and take care of any we find with injuries.”

That’s what most of our task today was about. The tanks are where injured turtles can safely recover before they’re returned to the wild.

One of the turtles in the tank had a flipper injury from a fishing line. Seeing her resting and getting stronger reminded me why this work matters.

Talking to Elias, I was reminded that sea turtles are found all over the world. They live in nearly every ocean—mostly warm tropical and subtropical waters. Some drift in the open sea, others feed near reefs and coastlines. They don’t do well in the Arctic or Antarctic, but everywhere else? They show up!

That’s it for now, but I’ll check in later for a goodnight!

WHISKING CORNERS by Kaylee Branch

Me and Isaac are just starting on a unit that’s pretty messed up. Sand everywhere… Hudson fell asleep in the car, so we got him settled down on the floor of the bedroom on a pallet.

We had to stop at a convenience store to get some glass cleaner, and when I was checking out, the woman was all gruff and hateful. I didn’t know what I’d done, so I thought I’d apologize or something.

“Is everything okay?” I asked her.

“What are you talking about?” she asked.

“If I upset you, I’m sorry.”

I guess she took that as an invitation to blow up. “My manager just called. Said she drove by and I needed to go out there and empty all the trash cans at the pumps. I’m not trying to smell all that nasty $%!^#.”

I took my change and nodded, but Isaac spoke up. “Are you on the clock?”

She waved her hand at the store and at her uniform. “Well, duh…”

Now I know what Isaac meant, and it was clear she didn’t. So I took Isaac’s hand and gave him the “be quiet” squeeze.

“Well,” I said, holding up the glass cleaner, “thanks for this.”

She didn’t say anything as we went back to the car.

I guess some people… Well, I won’t talk about her.

I’ll just say that I work for Mr. Callahan, and if he says to whisk out all the corners before running the vacuum, that’s what I’ll do. And I’ll leave it at that.

This is our last unit today, then we got one more check-out later this week. Vacation work will pick up a lot in March when folks start coming for spring break.

Mr. Callahan told us this would happen and that we should set some of the fall money aside to tide us over. We did okay, so the extra time with Isaac and Hudson feels like a little treat.

That’s all for now.

GOOD NIGHT

I might have started my day sleepy and groggy, but I think I finished strongly! A good morning at Sea Turtle, Inc. followed by a good afternoon of work leaves me feeling satisfied and ready to call it a day.

Sasha and Josh invited everyone to their unit for tacos and burritos. It was informal, relaxed, and just a good time. Afterward, we briefly talked about going to Korea, but nothing really substantial came of that.

It’s a plan. We have a lot of details to work out. That’s about it…

Jason and I are now in the kitchen of my condo debating if we want to dish up some ice cream or break out the blender and make a strawberry smoothie. I’m torn!

I don’t know if this would work, but what about a lot of chocolate ice cream and frozen strawberries in the blender? Why do I think that’s already a thing?

I like days like this. A slow start, some meaningful give-back work, some routine productivity, ended with good food and great friends. I’ll take this anytime!

May you have perfect days in which you feel satisfaction in what you accomplished and joy with those who shared the day with you.

Good night.

Be your best you!
