Thursday morning:
I was surprised when I woke this morning to see how long I'd actually slept. Nine hours with only one brief break. There was a dream I woke with but it faded quickly, must have been of no consequence.
Morning health metrics were mixed: body weight was fine but the BP was a little high. Nothing to be overly concerned about. And the financials all looked good.
Thursday evening:
The first full day without any TV at all (no Network, no cable, no live streaming over the Internet from sites that allow advertising) has been a success. I have a greater sense of calm tonight than I've had for some time. My avoiding the political ads and the TV news shows by avoiding TV will continue until after the Presidential election on 03 November. I can get everything I need on the radio and by checking a few trusted voices on the Internet.
