Can’t seem to be able to fall asleep tonight. It’s currently 2328 on the East Coast. I’m super tired but yet not sleepy. I hate insomnia.

What an incredible Thanksgiving dinner. Nothing beats gathering with family, and tonight's centerpiece—a perfectly glazed Honey Baked Ham—was absolutely amazing. Just pure warmth and deliciousness, making memories with the best people.

In so much pain from my jaw infection. Started on antibiotics and continued to take Ibuprofen. I’m hoping to fall asleep soon and that I’ll feel better tomorrow. Good night everyone!!!

Decided to try Digiorno for dinner tonight. I’ll let you all know how it was after it cools down to the point that I can eat it without sustaining third degree burns.

Dealing with a particularly difficult evening as PTSD is hitting hard. The stretch from November to March is always tough, but this year feels heavier. February will mark 10 years since my mother's passing. This grief amplifies everything

My new custom uniform tag from Smith & Warren is here! Engraved "J. Huffman, Honorary Firefighter, Serving Since 2016," it symbolizes years of commitment and partnership. More than a tag, it's a reminder of the honor & mission of Autism On Fire. So proud to wear it!

A perfect morning: sausage and biscuits shared with my amazing friend, Tim. It's never about the grand, expensive things; it's about these smallest gestures of friendship and kindness that fill our cup and make life so much brighter. Grateful for this connection!

The chill hit 50° F in Gastonia, NC this morning. Time for the ultimate heavy rescue: my fire department sweatshirt! It's a comfy reminder of the purpose and structure I admire in first responders. My support heats up when the temp drops! What are you wearing today?

Sleep schedule is on an unscheduled break tonight! First time in weeks my insomnia has flared up. My 8-9 PM bedtime is missing the memo (thanks to the 4:45 AM alarm!). Wishing everyone a restful night. Hope to be back on track tomorrow!

Proof that I finally got the world's most handsome, and most camera-shy, horse to pose for a picture! I think Jasper was more focused on my shoulder than the camera, but hey, I'll take what I can get! What's your secret to a good selfie?

Fueling up in the best way possible. Had a delicious Philly Cheese Steak at Sully’s Place this evening. So good to enjoy a fantastic meal while relaxing. Supporting local never tasted so good!

Grabbed some lunch with our new Executive Producer before I head to Tryon for the weekend where I’ll be competing in the 2025 Special Olympics North Carolina Equestrian Tournament.
