shadowkatI discovered today - while playing around with my health app on my phone - that I'm sleep deprived, and this is most likely the root cause of the irritability, apathy, brain fogginess, and feeling ever so slightly off.
I figured this out, when I put in that I go to bed at around roughly 11-11:30pm and wake up roughly between 5:45 and 6:30 am during the week resulting in between 5-6:30 hrs of sleep as opposed to the recommended 7-8 hours of sleep. This has got to stop. So tonight's goal is to go to bed at around 10 pm, and get up at around 6 AM. That should give me close to 7, at least.

I entertained myself today by watching this happening outside my living room/office window:
[For anyone who can't see the photo - it's two guys hanging siding on a house.]
And I took a brief walk of sorts. Tortured myself by looking at folks vacation and socializing pics on Instagram. Which make me cringe. One guy was in very close proximity with a bunch of kids (not his own) on a ferry filled with people from an island religious retreat. I wonder sometimes if I'm living in bizzaro world. Is it just me or has the world become increasingly surreal? It's as if one group knows that a pandemic is still going on, and the other group has forgotten about it completely.

Anyhow, I'm sleep deprived and tired and irritable.
Worked from home today - a good thing, since my digestive system decided to have a conniption fit.
Good night.
Random picture for tonight.
