Dateline 1-16-2017

I'm struggling to start my day which I think is a good sign in a weird way. If you're not following along, I started a challenge to watch every episode of Saturday Night Live starting on New Year's Day. So far I've been watching and reviewing an episode a day, which is the schedule that I would like to stick to throughout this experience.

The first week was a little rough as I was a little rushed to fit in the viewing of the show amongst my other obligations. I would watch an episode toward the end of the day and then head straight to the computer to write up my findings to share before falling asleep. 

I eventually got caught up to the point where I would wake up, post the review from the night before, watch the next episode in the morning while taking notes, write and post my Daily Breaker segment, then go about the rest of my day until I take my dog out for my end of the day walk to then write my review for the SNL episode I watched in the morning.

This plan works perfectly for me but I've failed to figure out how to deal with a day where I have to interact with the outside world. Yesterday was my uncle's wedding which I did prepare for, finishing all of my work the night before so that all I would have to do is publish my posts and head out to the event. I even woke up a little early to watch the episode in order to have something to write when I got home.

Stupid me, didn't think to calculate reception booze into the equation. By the time I got home I was in no mood to write so now I'm just a little behind. It's weird to think that I now see drinking as a hindrance to my writing when I used to see it as a tool of the trade. 

It should only take a couple hours to get caught up to where I would normally be on a standard day. I just like that I am getting so set into this schedule to the point where I feel a little lost when not sticking to it. This leads me to believe it's becoming a habit that will actually get me through to the very end. 

Now, it's time to go and get all caught up.

Talk to you tomorrow,
