Bump the Hump

Pretty natural wake up for a weekday despite the later night. But motivation was low from an apparent lack of sleep. Wasn’t feeling breakfast but talked myself into slipping a couple cheese slices with a sausage round into some cheese bagels. When I finished wolfing it down it felt like I’d swallowed a brick. I didn’t feel great about it. To combat that I upped my morning water intake. For the second straight day I’d need more than one thermos full.

Work started slow. I put on the replay of our North American townhall and read through the whole first season of Tent-Venture since season two has begun. Very interesting saga that yielded better than expected. I should push Theodore Complete to pull together costs again and show that against yield to track break even again. He’s basically ignored that part once we got past the bucket. Once the townhall ended things seemed to ramp up. Email started burbling to life then became a torrent for a time. By the time noon arrived I was looking for a break, but no, someone scheduled a meeting over the noon hour. Not cool. But I knew that going in, that’s why I forced myself to make a breakfast. I had another salad kit and pizza buns for lunch today. This time nothing was expired. It was very good and filling. It really seemed to light a fire under me and I tackled my to-do list. I had a quarterly meeting from half two until six and in the spirit of multitasking I worked away diligently on my other screen while still taking some notes and listening. By the end of the day I felt like I’ve about caught up with the most pressing things for the first time since early November. To celebrate I made a whole mess of chicken bites, starting a new bag, the last good one. Not the last, but the last of my favourite kind. With a very full gut I put on a coat and shoes and hiked up to the mail. I was planning to keep going but I had a parcel and a lot more mail than expected. Maybe mail on the way home next time. I got back and did my MSC challenges. I also worked on the site a bit before catching up on Musings. I had a text chat with a couple of work contacts. One invested heavy into one of the Reddit stocks being pushed up. It will interesting to see how he does. That lead me into bedtime.
