Did need the electric lights this morning as it was dark, but I feel better after a good night’s sleep. The key is to get bed early and then get up early. Sleep much better that way.

Yesterday was a complete drag, 😴 but somehow I made it through the day half alive. Had eggs with lots of crushed fresh tomatoes and some cornmeal and Chipotle spices this morning. Pretty good start to day. Foggy out this morning. 🌫 After the coffee ☕ this morning though I’m not at all foggy. Going to ride in to work at 7 AM, 🚲 shortly after a shower. 🚿

Just got to keep moving ahead, 👣 one step at a time. I might not have clear direction, but I need to keep reminding myself I am saving for a better future and I’m getting damn good at the R statistical language and even C programming as I do this every day at work. 🖥 Throw any kind of CSV or Excel document at me, and with some %>% magic, I can transform it into something useful.

Saturday is going to be crap ☔ but maybe I’ll go to Thacher Park on the Nature Bus. Next weekend, thinking of remote working from Rensselearville State Forest – – get up there before work at 9 AM, set up camp and work from the hammock, hopefully mostly using my phone but also cna use my laptop. Long range looks a bit too nice for next weekend, ☀ I am sure it will cool down and be less sunny then they promise.

Owe the lab $25 for blood tests 🆎 after my doctor’s visit. It’s fine the actual physical had no co-pay but it’s the lab work where they make you pay. Getting a physical is good to know your health. ♥ They still want me to get a stress test to check out my heart due to my family 👪 history but I don’t really have the time these days, being so busy with work.

I’m slightly horrified on how much plaque I see building up on my teeth. 🦷 It’s kind of gross despite me brushing every day and flossing. Seems to get a lot worse when camping, maybe because I’m not brushing well enough. 🪥 Or all the bananas and fresh fruit I eat. 🍌 🍏 Been trying to keep up but it’s tough and annoying to see all the black spots over me teeth. Maybe it’s cannabis, but truth be told outside of camping and around the fire I don’ t smoke much at all.
