Comments— Very smooth going this week. It is easy to maintain a project when you are not leaving the house. It is all clock work. I get dressed in the morning. Tripp takes my photo every afternoon, and then I post it on Instagram the next day. I know that I should actually be posting it on the day, but I like to think of it as Alaskan lag time. Back in the day, newsreels were delivered overnight to Alaska by plane and then broadcast the day after. I’m kind of doing the same thing. But the only people who know this are the half a dozen people reading this document. It is our little secret.

Comments— Well, the rains finally came, and considering we were about to all go up in flames from the numerous fires in our state, it has been a very good thing. Liquid Sunshine. Still, it is so much harder to dress for incremental weather. I better get used to it again, because it looks like the sun is not coming out anytime soon.

COMMENTS– I will say that after 25 weeks of this project, I feel like I have a pretty good handle on the thing. Today, I thought about how I should also be documenting the weather. Which I suppose I can try and do. I wish I had time to make new clothes as it is always fun to add something new to my wardrobe. I am struggling to keep up with instagram out in McCarthy. My phone’s internet is not reliable and that makes it difficult. But other than that, I am staying on top of the documentation for this project.

COMMENTS—Well, dressing for sunny summer weather is so much easier than selecting garments to wear for icy temperatures or rain and drizzle. I really would like to add a skirt or two to my wardrobe. I only have three and they are getting very boring. I am doing a good job of not falling behind. The pain of going back and documenting weeks and weeks of work in May taught me a very valuable lesson. I am also trying not to be to precious about how I look. Yes. I do select what I consider to be the very best picture for the day, but I am often not happy with it. Documenting your 50th year day in and day out is often painful. I should have done this when I was 30!

COMMENTS– I am feeling better about the just roll with the flow aspect of the project. Every day I wear clothing I have made, and I try and find some one who will take my photo in the middle of whatever road I am on. The weather shifts wildly out here and the garments I have made are not necessary meant for bush living, but it is what is. Sunday marked the 150th day of this project. WOW.
