alexandraerinThe Daily Report
So, I didn't get nearly as much done yesterday as I would have liked... I had a hitch in my daily routine due to a misplaced phone, and then the heat of the day took its toll. As a result, the book 2 e-book will likely be coming out next weekend rather than this one. I did end up doing the random writing I'd hoped to, albeit later at night. It ended up being a little under a thousand words of crossover fanfic inspired by random thoughts.
The ten day forecast right now is suggesting that this period of hot nights might be brief and nearly over, which is good. I've been lucky that the part of the summer I've been here for has been surprisingly mild, with even the hot stretches not being as bad as they could have been. Warm nights aren't life-threatening, just... inconvenient.
I think for most of my life my insomnia was bad enough that I didn't even notice... I didn't have enough good quality sleep to miss it or the difference it makes to my faculties. I have so many memories of summers in my 20s where I was awake until the sun came up anyway. But now I know what a difference a good night's sleep makes to my focus and clarity, and I wonder how I ever got anything done before.
(Answer: For everything I did accomplish, there were a lot of things that went nowhere or were forgotten.)
Anyway... today's supposed to get even hotter and now I have one more day running with sub-par sleep, so I'm honestly not at all sure how today's going to go. Though the forecast has been revised downward since the last time I looked at it.
The State of the Me

Plans for Today
It's a posting day. I am about 80% confident I'll make it.
