# Monday 29th December 2025
This is my first proper entry in my HH journal since beginning the project.
Much has happened since I began this journey on 6th November 2025, the day after we blew up the world. It will happen again, next year, on the 5th November, so it feels like a new beginning.
It has been a challenge this whole year for me to adapt to not being nomadic and staying in one flat, sleeping in one bed, since 3rd February.
I have experienced a lot of inner turmoil, physical pain, stress, anxiety and depression. And I am still here, still continuing, not giving in.
And so this morning, after a long chat with DB last night around what my work is now, here, in Catalunya, with the Hitchhikers project, I got up at 7:30, had my oatmilk, protein powder, banana and coffee shake, then headed to Sant Cugat to pay a parking fine from Xmas eve.
On arrival in SC, I could not pay the fine as it was not even in the system. I have to wait two weeks! Ok, see you! So, I went to Spoon, the café I spent a lot of my life in towards the end of 2015, when I lived next door to it.
Cinthia, from Argentina, a lovely woman, long-term servant of the place, served me coffee and I learn she has a daughter of 30, who has a partner and that she is divorced. I felt a tug of warmth to her and she enjoys interacting with me, I know. But do I want to ask her out on a date? Do I actually want someone to be with, to hold, to bond with through all the challenges ahead?
