Dateline 8-15-2016

Alright, it's a brand new week and I am feeling about 95% better. I was about to write 100% but then was interrupted by a brief phlegm filled coughing fit but I'm definitely over the hump and excited to get back to work on my projects. The only thing killing my inspiration now is the heat.

Not only do I live in Southern California where it is hot beyond my comfort level to begin with, but I also live in a finished garage with no windows which heats up like an oven to the point where it can get hotter inside than it is standing directly in the sun. At least that's how it feels.

Though I do feel like I can be productive in the heat, the discomfort leads to a lack of enthusiasm that I feel in the winter months when I am in a hoodie and shorts, feeling nice and cozy sitting at the computer fully immersed in whatever I'm working on. 

Now I'm too distracted by the sweat, thirst and overall discomfort to fully focus on anything. I feel like I'm too focused on functioning in general to be able to tap into to my stream of conscious and just muse in an almost meditative way the way I do when the climate is cooler.

I'm just now realizing that this is why things I love under ideal circumstances feels like a chore to me when it's hot. Luckily time seems to be flying by these days so the next month and a half of SoCal heat will be over in what appears to be a week.

Until then I will power through and do what I can, keeping you posted as I go. Hopefully, now that I'm not sleeping all day, and back to my regular scheduled programming, I'll have some more interesting insights to report on tomorrow.

Talk to you then,
