alexandraerinThe Daily Report
Today I realized that at some point (specifically, the point where I ran out of breakfast cereal), I just sorted of drifted from taking my morning pills when I wake up in the morning to taking them when I eat lunch because they need to be taken with food, and that after a few days of that it just became routine and I stopped thinking about it.
This could be a big part of why the huge level of productivity/focus I had when I first got back here has subsided so noticeably... I've still been getting stuff done overall, and I didn't expect to stay at that initial level forever, but I've been getting a little dispirited at how aimless a lot of my mornings have been.
So that's corrected now. This should get my brain kicked into gear a bit earlier in the day, and also space out my morning and afternoon doses. Today my not be a perfect test of the effectiveness of this, due to circumstances described in the next section.
The State of the Me
Last night I was awakened by a car alarm going off just as I was drifting into sleep and the jolt kept me up another few hours. This morning, I had to wake up really early in the morning to help make sure someone else got up when they needed to. I did get back to sleep afterwards, but I'm kind of expecting a crash sometime today.
Plans For Today
Due to the above circumstances, I'm going to focus on the MU chapter that's due today. I have a Wander update and a chapter of commentary to do to keep myself on schedule with those things, but I can do them in the evening in my spare time, when I would be working on A Wilder World.
