📋Additional Daily Notes


Saturday carried that soft, drifting rhythm that only winter days seem to produce. Late in the morning, with snow still scattered across the ground but already beginning to surrender to melt, I set out toward Parksville. The highway wore that familiar Vancouver Island winter palette — pale sky, damp pavement, fading snowbanks — a landscape that naturally invites reflection. During the drive, I listened to the Neville Goddard lecture “Change Your Reality In 3 Days: The Secret of Feeling & Sleep | The Neville Goddard Mindset“, which I had downloaded from YouTube, something about changing your life through assumption and “living in the end.” The steady motion of the car combined with Neville’s calm, deliberate voice created that peculiar mental state long drives often bring — part focus, part daydream, part philosophical wandering.

At a Petro-Canada stop along the way, one of those entirely routine road-trip interruptions, the day delivered a small moment that felt oddly amusing. I handed over a five-dollar bill to buy two lottery tickets — a Blackjack and a Gold Rush — and received two dollars in change. A toonie. Nothing mysterious, nothing improbable, just basic arithmetic doing what arithmetic does. Yet the timing gave it that faintly symbolic flavor the mind sometimes assigns to completely ordinary events, especially when the morning has already been steeped in Neville’s language of meaning and assumption.

2026-02-21 - Mexican Restaurant Closed

Parksville itself introduced the first true deviation from plan. The Mexican restaurant I had specifically driven down to visit, Jalapeños Mexican Food Parksville, closed for weekend maintenance (see photo to the right), sealed off behind bright fencing and a politely apologetic sign. The expectation dissolved instantly. No irritation, no dramatic disappointment — just that brief internal recalibration that accompanies any small disruption of intention. The interesting part was how easily the day seemed to redirect itself once the original target vanished.

The pivot carried me to Taste Taco Bistro, where tacos, chips, salsa, and a cold Jarritos replaced the meal that never happened. The atmosphere was relaxed, unhurried, comfortable — a fitting continuation of a day already shaped by wandering rather than precision.

Later, the afternoon drifted naturally toward coffee and warmth. I settled into the Brazen Poppy Bakery & Restaurant with a large London Fog and a chocolate chip cookie, laptop open, watching the muted choreography of a small-town winter day through wide windows. Nothing remarkable occurred, yet the scene carried its own quiet satisfaction.

The drive back toward Courtenay produced another unplanned stop: the Tree Diner. A cozy roadside place with a slightly nostalgic feel, it offered Thai coconut soup and “The Famous Beesting”, a dessert that felt like the sort of indulgence only road trips seem to justify. Small, pleasant human interactions punctuated the visit, including a passing compliment about my T-shirt — the kind of casual exchange that adds texture to a day without altering its trajectory.

Returning home, thin remnants of snow still lingered across the yard. The warmth of the house and the accumulated fatigue of driving and eating made a nap feel almost inevitable. After waking, hunger re-emerged with simple clarity, leading me to Subway for a steak and cheese six-inch on Italian herb and cheese. The day, which had begun with reflective highway thoughts and Neville’s voice in my ears, was now settling into its familiar evening pattern of easy, recognizable comforts.

Later still, the final scene unfolded under the bright, unmistakable lighting of McDonald’s. A five-dollar McValue meal, a large coffee with two creams and one sugar, and a Skor McFlurry — the quiet punctuation mark at the end of a day defined less by dramatic events than by small reroutes, shifting environments, and the gentle unpredictability of ordinary life. Through it all, Neville’s morning lecture lingered faintly in memory, coloring the day not through grand revelations but through a heightened awareness of how easily meaning attaches itself to the most mundane sequences.

Nothing supernatural occurred. Nothing extraordinary insisted upon interpretation. Yet the day felt full — a chain of simple movements, warm drinks, casual meals, and subtle mental shifts carried forward by snow, highway miles, and the steady murmur of thought.
