Monday morning:
A grim and gloomy start to this morning, and I'm not sure why. Last night's sleep was about average: 3 1/2 hr. 1st sleep segment, followed by 45 min. insomnia break, then another sleep segment of a little more than three hours, finally waking 1/2 hour before my first alarm. That should be enough to see me through the day.
Local and National news is all pretty depressing, that's probably a source of the grimness I sense.
The morning's health metrics were surprisingly good, though, and the financials checked out okay. There is that to dispel the gloom. Yeah. Think I'll focus on that. And my prayers, of course.
[FYI, the above paragraphs were posted to my micro-blog today.]
Monday evening:
It didn't take long for this day to develop into a good one. With each hour, as I moved from chore to chore, the quality the day improved. As I listen to radio coverage of the Bears/Rams Game this evening there's a healthy sense of satisfaction in what I've been able to accomplish. And when I put head to pillow in a few hours it will be with no regrets about my part in this Monday.
