I have had significant trouble getting to bed consistently around the same time each day, so I usually don’t know what my natural rhythm is going to do next. This week though, I found a routine. I went from getting to bed around 3am to gradually getting to bed at or before Midnight and sleeping through to a realistic time.
Few things are important enough for me to loose sleep over. I have been setting my alarm for an early time, like 5 or 6 am, but not getting to bed until 1am or later. So I end up waking up to the alarm (or not), and then hitting snooze for hours. It feels *great* to snooze, but really what kind of rest was I getting?
I got to ride my bike to work *every day*! It is about 8-9 miles to work and then of course the same distance back. Erika got engaged , and Diana had her baby in the same week as well!
I’ve already called them – well, I called Erika. I tried to call Diana but that didn’t work. And that’s totally just fine. I’d rather she spend time with L’Enfant,
Significant things happened at work. Unfortunately, I don’t get to automate all that I wanted to, but very fortunately, 2 members of my team have been key in working with me to produce a more realistic approach. This is at once frustrating, because I need to be identifying and doing these things, but also gratifying and necessary. And we are working as a closer team as a result. We get to be a bit more real and call each others bs whether we knew it was bs at the time or not. All of this in mutual respect. yay.
I believe we played Rock Band on the PS3, *every single day of the week*, which was most excellent indeed. Steve Babin got a PS3 recently and then bought Rock Band which may contribute to my undoing. It brings me indescribable joy to play Rock Band. It has spurred on a serious need to listen to songs by the band Boston. Rock Band has Rock, punk, etc from several decades, but there’s something about Boston that takes me to my happy place. :-)
Oh, and Scott Crain called. Used to work with him at UH. He’ll come to Austin or at least to San Antonio. Looking forward to catching up with him and with any luck also playing Rock Band. As Luck would have it, he’s getting to play Rock Band for the first time with Nephews today. That ought to be cool.
