A Productive Day

I have no time today for my usual post in this blog, for it is already after 7:00 p.m.

But it is a good thing, more or less, for I spent the day productively.

The reason for losing out on blogging time was because I had remained up late last night, and was unable to rise as early as I need to do in order to accomplish the day's content assignment at whichever of my six hosted websites it is that I have my latest post in development.

I had gotten to bed in the latter portion of the midnight hour ─ my hardworking wife had preceded me some hours before, but she is as troubled a sleeper in her own way as am I. 

I may have only been abed 2½ hours at most before I rose to get to work on the post.

Unfortunately, much of the content I find for this post has proven to require considerable 'cosmetic' treatment before I am able to use it ─ sometimes I even have to research the references I am supplying because too little detail was provided at the sources that I use to locate the references. 

Suffice here to say that I returned to bed a little after 5:30 a.m., but I had not yet fulfilled half of the day's assignment.

I did, though, perform a five-minute plank before going back to bed ─ the fourth consecutive day that I have endured the exercise for that long. I actually overshoot the five minutes by 10 or more seconds just to be comfortably certain that I am making the time.

I had a rather disturbing surprise, however, just as I was setting myself up for the performance of the plank. You see, I use the timer on my iPhone 5; but evidently when I performed the plank on the previous occasion, I neglected to stop the timer.

It had been running for over 25 hours!

What I do not know is if this merely used my cellphone's battery resources...or if there is also some sort of data consumption involved with my service's carrier?

Whatever, the case, I will not be making the mistake again.

I do not sleep well. Yet after returning to bed, my wife arose without me being aware. In fact, she showered, and then left for the day.

Normally she rises around 10:00 a.m. to ready herself for her drive and her 11:00 a.m. start at the Thai restaurant she works at. But I rose around 9:43 a.m., and she was already gone.

I have to stop this recounting ─ I haven't the time! All else I will say is that I got my scheduled exercising done for today, and I also sunned ─ just over a half hour for my front, and then the same amount of time for my back.

Both of my stepsons had to go to work this morning, and my brother took off during the noon-hour for the afternoon ─ he was gone when I came into the house after sunning my front. 

Admittedly, it was a pleasant day having so much of it to myself. 

I also finished that website content assignment during the afternoon ─ it was the main drain on my time. I should have the post finished and then published tomorrow.

Enough said for today.
