??? (-22), NS, 5:15 AM
Early rise again. While I'm wondering at the cause (shifting to Lisa's schedule, the weight loss, the crazy rain storm & paranoia about water leaks), I'm not going to look at this too closely. I feel as if this change in timing is good: more time in the morning to get things done, more energy, more feeling of accomplishment. I still have some lingering agita that I need to suss out, but in the meantime, I'll accept an increase in productivity - or at least the feeling of it.
I do note that my crankiness is up this week. I can probably guess the reason (it's definitely a Vital Need), and if this is the case, there's really nothing I can do about it - the resolution is in someone else's control. The best I can do be aware of it, acknowledge it, and manage it the best I can.
-----------------------------
Crazy amount of rain this morning, though I'm sure far less than what Vermont experienced last week. Most of the roads on the way in had a lot of water on them. Even so, some of the other drivers were testing my patience. I'm noticing that I'm handling this less civilly than I could - perhaps this is related to the crankiness. Perhaps I'm becoming a less pleasant misanthrope.
Got in without too much issue, and am working through the morning tasks with some attention in my right foot.
------------------------------
To follow on from yesterday (regarding my struggling): at the end of the work week, I want to feel as if I've accomplished something of quality. Currently, I just feel a sense of relief that I've made it through. I think this is the difference between concluding/completing and finishing.
Note.Self: look into Scala as a development language - it's supported in v7 of the JVM.
------------------------------
Good walk around the building at lunch - about 1/2 again as long as normal. Sun starting to poke out meant that it was getting hot & humid quickly. Now to tie some things up before leaving for the day. On to the first week of bowling(!).
