A very busy week. I had a significant work event on Wednesday, and needed to help my daughter with some of her homework in the evenings during the week. Completely wrecked my sleep schedule. Need to be better about going to bed at a reasonable hour. I feel it when I don’t get enough sleep.

The week ahead looks a little more typical… which is still relatively busy with classes, lacrosse and homework.

Feels

  • I remain concerned about the upcoming election. Especially when one side is starting to resort to false and racist rhetoric to inspire their voters.
  • The weather continues to get better. We were supposed to have a bunch of rain this weekend, but we only had occasional sprinkles.
  • Made time for a much needed date night with Liz. Our schedules are busy with both of us in grad school. Enjoyed a nice impromptu dinner at one of our favorite fancy restaurants.

Health

  • I continue to eat well and work on changing bad food habits. I’d been losing weight at a reasonable pace, and then plateaued this week. Which is frustrating, but I also know that factors like stress and lack of sleep can affect metabolism.
  • Getting a good night’s sleep is an important part of staying healthy. It’s also the first thing I neglect when I have stuff to do.
  • Going to try some approaches to getting some activity in this week. Nothing complicated. Walks and some body weight exercises.

Projects

  • My contract type design project continues to soak up time and energy.
  • Need to make some time to do some projects around the house.

Entertainment

  • Continuing to read Mirrored Heavens by Rebecca Roanhorse.
  • Football is back. Tough loss for my Gamecocks against LSU this week. I’ll probably watch Sunday night football tonight.
  • The Azerbaijan Grand Prix was crazy today. Big win for McLaren. Apparently, I picked the best possible season to get into F1.
