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!

I am deeply moved to receive this incredible Autism Awareness challenge coin from the Gastonia Fire Department yesterday at the 9/11 memorial service. Your dedication to service and awareness is truly inspiring!

Fueling up at Waffle House this morning! There’s something comforting and familiar about a classic breakfast to start the day. Sometimes, it’s the simple routines and familiar flavors that make all the difference. What are your go-to breakfast comfort foods? Share below!

A breakfast plate from Waffle House featuring a large, browned country ham on the left and several strips of crispy bacon on a separate small plate on the right. Both plates are white with a brown patterned rim, sitting on a dark grey table.

New fire department patches from Gastonia Fire Department that was given to me this morning while I was at Station 1 (HQ). I am incredibly grateful for these patches, but the thing I am grateful the most for? The overwhelming amount of inclusion that was shown to me this morning.

Spent the weekend up here at Kings Mountain State Park camping. It was a lot of fun, but now it is time to start packing up and heading home.
