Weathering the Weather

I have a running joke with my partner. Almost every week I tell him, "I think I'll make this a shorter blog post so I can work on this other thing I need to get done..." and then the posts end up much longer than originally intended.

Well, not today!

Today, it's short and sweet because my productivity has fallen so hard it has splattered against a rock shelf just above bedrock.

I can't say it hit rock bottom because I did manage to work out, but even then I had to treat it as a de-load week.

The exhaustion has been hilariously bad because of the time change this year as well as the sharp fluctuations in temperature and weather. One day it's shorts and tank tops, the next it's sweaters, hoodies, and fleece-lined pants. Talk about a rough time ac-climate-ing.

All you can really do in those situations is do what you can, and if you have high standards like me, allow yourself to lower them for a little while even if it means, yes, writing brief notes in your planner of what you did each day instead of the usual detailed account, if you're someone who normally keeps a planner.

My workload will be ratcheting up again soon though! We've begun having sessions, and I actually have ~3 hours to transcribe. I'll be writing journals again soon, too, as a result, as well as correspondence between Cael and other characters. The performance I'll continue fleshing out in my spare time.

Other Notable Accomplishments:

• De-load week for weight lifting, though yesterday (Wednesday) I did return to a normal workout and pushed myself. I can tell I'm getting stronger, which is a nice feeling.

• Fleshed out bits and pieces of the performance for Arc 3; edited here and there but nothing too major.

• Already transcribed ~1 hour; still having a little over 3 more is a little disheartening

• Really been focusing on keeping my fat intake within the range given in the BWS+ app, and I notice that has really helped with weight loss. Fat is difficult to wrangle, especially 'cause I like fatty foods.

• Oh, and I did start listening to the audiobook version of, "The Dresden Files" & am ~15% of the way through the first book.

  
  

What's Left of Teyr'loch Delter Pach?

• Same as last week, though I've chosen a couple more pieces and have expanded on a few scenes

Questions for Contemplation & Discussion:

• I'll be honest. I've got nothin' this week.
