Fast Morning

The trend of rising early continued and this time I took advantage. I was up before half six and had myself another great shower and got a big start on my Duolingo for the week. I got a power up booster and found myself in first place in the Diamond league. It’s early in the week but I might make a play to claim my third first place finish in the top league. One thing I did win at today though was breakfast. I got back to my usual fare. Look at these two beauties. I ate them both at a hotter temperature than I normally would so that I’d have some time before work to do my own thing and I was not disappointed. Sometimes a little time away makes the heart grow fonder and you realize what you’ve been missing. I’m not being romantic about it, they were THAT good!

I had some more things to handle fo that issue from yesterday and I think it’s put to bed now. I’ll wait and see. Am I being vague about it, yes I am. I have to be! I had four meeting throughout the morning and I can tell you that it flew by. I also was hard on the water so I noticed that there were few breaks between meetings. Most were directly related to my job and my responsibilities but there was one about invoicing that troubles me. I’m a bit worried there was a mistake made in the system and we’re going to have to correct it. This spring won’t seem to die and end. It was nearly one when the last call ended and it was well timed because my bladder was either going to explode or my kidneys were fixing to shoot out my back. I made a tasty lunch out of some leftover jambalaya and got back to work. The afternoon was mostly spent on the phone again with customers and coworkers. I did manage to get a few tasks done and I’m happy to say I got the inbox tightened down under twenty now. My workday ended with a long chat with a colleague talking about our customers and mostly life in general. We’re fairly newly acquainted but will be working closely on things and it was good to start to get to know him a bit. He’s out West so not a lot of opportunity to sit down with some beers. I shut things down around six and followed the meal board on this night. The plan was to have sausages and chips but I didn’t exactly have chips. I had tots, regular not cheesy, and I had some breakfast potatoes. I decided to save those and consume the substandard tots. If they don’t have the cheesy ones next time I’ll go without, these ones kinda sucked, even in the air fryer. The sausage was amazing though. I did them at 370F for ten minutes and they were perfect. The other half of the tots and other sausages got packed away and I went about my evening with a pleasantly full tummy.

The evening section of my day was again wasteful. I spent too much money in the HomeScapes app and played that for way too long. Then I switched over to YouTube and I’m not happy to say but I went hard at it. There were several rabbit holes travelled, starting with watching a bunch of Mike Tyson videos. I’d never really seen any of his fights outside of quick clips of a knockout. I went way beyond clips this time. I have a much better appreciation for how dominant he really was and his relationship to Muhammad Ali and his trainer. I also didn’t know he was an Olympian and two time National champion. I was all over the place after that. I think the majority was Soprano clips and music. While I was in my mega-binge I was snapping with She. There was a reply every fifteen or twenty minutes, which is frequent for her. I think I was up later than her for the first time ever. I finally dozed off around half midnight. My brain was essentially asleep long before that I think. It probably showed in the quality of my responses. At one point she said something about having all the FACTS so I used the word TRY in my reply. She didn’t get it but I thought it was exceeding clever since one of my favourite YouTube channels started their journey as the FACTS channel before becoming the TRY channel. I think I did that just for me. I’ve also spelled it out here just for me too I suppose. Aw well. It was another productive and busy workday and a long and wasteful evening. Hopefully I don’t make it a hattrick.
