XXIV Julio MMXVII
3:44 AM. I awake this first time in a caffeinated state. Not expecting at all it to be this early, I was guessing something later like 5:55 or 6:02 am, so let me explain THIS new term caffeinated state, por favor.
In or with my current condition, and I MUST include broadly ‘life-style’ and the different levels or areas which compose that vernacular term.
LIKE WHAT ?
Your Rudeness interrupts at the most opportune time Thank you very much.
With my current condition, factors contributing to ‘life-style’ include but are certainly NOT limited to diet, work (schedule), socialization, sleep & rest patterns (another book or at LEAST ‘chapter’) and finally for now my dire financial straights, all impact at one time or another a mental flux or more commonly a mental state IOW emotional well-being.
Oh, I know this is complicated and complex but let me ax you, why are YOU here ?
Ponder that while I get back on track with this report por favor.
Whenever I awake in the night and have the minor difficulty of returning to sleep right away, soon or quickly, I find my mind and stream of consciousness near flood stage. The water is white as in with rapids sometimes and praying or reading, the initial steps in the protocol, fail.
This calls for a second path and even sometimes a third depending on the hour and success of previous protocol steps.
For example, if I have tried praying first, read some, maybe I will read some more if the book is good enough. Sometimes I feel the prayer list needs more attention so I revisit those needing prayer.
I may choose to attack the coming day plan which God knows requires CONSTANT focus and attention to detail.
On those rare occasions where it is too late, I may just get up, arise, make coffee or iced matte and begin the day in earnesto.
Like now, RIGHT NOW, I am thinking mission accomplished.
It’s 4:44 and I am getting drowsy, losing the sharp focus and wanting to return to sleep and the land of dreams for the time being. Much more to report as I had visitors this weekend past and what a grand time we had.
It was wickedly hot and we still had a large time at the cloud. The BEST peeps on the planet were here and I am punching out until later this morning.:
4:46 Bill out. *** ZZZzzz__________
It’s now 8:11 & Go Time.
Monday morning, the full day off and mucho trabajo.
The visit & visitors were grande and what a high time we all had.
Little Fbnextgen after arriving & the big huge informed me she was now ‘4-and-a-quarter’.
She proudly produced a number of fine pieces of art work and articulated each eloquently. She picked up a little book I noticed and sat quietly in a chair and was only ‘pretending’ to read it. Then proceeded to read me some of the story. When she tired of that, she had a ready bookmark she was using. From her a,b,c book I suspect from the unplanned results chapter.
GS1 was all eating & pooping. Lots of grinning & smiling in between.
Saturday S1 came up & we cooked out around the pool, swam and frollicked. FBng had taken some swimming lessons & was quite accomplished with a couple of strokes. The littlest guy was held & never quite figured it all out but plenty of time for that.
The house was spectacularly cleaned and there were NO complaints only compliments. I know ONE thing for sure. I am going to keep it maintained at least to the current level. That crash course in cleaning is NOT fun and besides, I would like for them to visit again without the negative association of such a tedious exercise.
S2 checked my break pads & system. He also go my bike in better condition. All greatly appreciated.
We did dispose properly some beer. The upside is lots of aluminum cans for $$$.
Guess that’s about all you paid for today.
Moving along to the next chores & admin. Either bill payment, financial review or job search. Figure out what time work is tomorrow.
It’s ALL good.
