12:25 a.m., Wednesday the 24th
I successfully stayed up ... that night and last night as well, and now tonight. I'm still getting up late every day, but maybe I'm finally also getting acclimated to staying up late every day. On Monday, I completely skipped logging on to the forum here, and in that way, was able to make huge strides in the Facebook area. I may never get completely caught up on Facebook, but in the wee hours of Tuesday, I got to the penultimate step of catching up, and I feel pretty good about that. I may get partially caught up on Facebook again tonight, maybe. If I could talk myself into getting up sooner (say 11:30 a.m.), that would be awesome, but I don't expect that to happen anytime soon. So I'm taking what blessings I can.
My own shortcomings (and the role they play in me getting behind) aside, I have to say that Facebook and this forum are both really super busy right now. I fancy that that might be because so many people are locked down at home with nothing to do. These virtual environments are the way people can interact with each other remotely. I'm not 100% sure of my little theory, but I'm leaning that way.
It's been like a week or two since the last time I did a Chess lesson, and since the last time I played a practice game against a computer player. If I can get caught up here (on Polyamory.com), and again mostly caught up on Facebook, then I'll get back to my Chess routines. And maybe I can even squeeze out a little book reading somewhere in there. I don't quite know how yet, but I'm feeling hopeful about it.
Longer days ... need ... longer ... days ...
A few days ago I failed to brush one day, but for the most part I'm doing adequately in that area. I need to brush so I can put in my night (bite) guard. I know that, I really do. I'm trying to do better, in multiple areas.
