I usually do my writing first thing in the morning. I give my best brain to the act of creation.

This morning, I created for others.

So now it is 7:45pm and I am at my desk completing my morning ritual (I call it my win the day routine. I don’t feel like I’m winning.)

Last night, I slept much less than I should have. It was the right trade off last night. I could have avoided having to trade it off by being more prepared earlier in the week. A lesson learned.

It takes a lot of effort to extricate yourself from an endless scroll. Same for a nice-to-have item on the routine and from the grab of just-one-more things. It takes even more effort when you’re tired and hungry.

Again, I marvel that I operated in this state for so many years. This is temporary. Thank goodness. I will sleep well tonight and wake later than usual tomorrow morning.

Things I need to remember:

Buy eggs on the way home

Eat dinner on the way home

Wash my mug before I leave

Pack that book

Throw out that packet

I need to go to the bathroom

I wonder if I’d be better in BD

Why are there so many people still here?

I think I’m sleepy
