Dateline 5-8-2017

Why is it that I drag ass more when I get a lot of sleep than when I barely get any sleep at all. Though I usually feel the benefits of extra slumber, it feels like it takes me forever to get up and going even after completing my morning routine. 

It's not even like I got a lot of extra sleep according to my fit bit, I got close to seven hours, which is my goal but I've now been up for over an hour and have yet to complete a thing. Well, I did make my breakfast and set up my template for this post but I've been working at this for about forty-five minutes now and this is the best that I can come up with.

I don't know, part of me feels that I am still in sleep mode and may actually need a quick nap to get out of it. The other part of me feels that the fact that my internet has been so unstable over the past three days that I need to rebuild my momentum to put in more than a bare minimum day.

The thing that really sucks is I'm still behind on extra content from servicing jury duty, so those three days of shoddy internet has set me even further behind on what I need to get to. Right now, my internet is working fine but I don't really trust it so I don't have the same enthusiasm that I might if my delays were due to having plans outside of my place as opposed to these technical difficulties.

Take for example jury duty. When I finally got the chance to get back to work on my own stuff after losing control of my schedule I was so excited because that all I could think about during the trial and when I did get the chance, I did manage to get caught up on a lot of work.

Now let's take this technical difficulty I just experienced. I was still riding the enthusiasm that was built up from the above mentions scenario when my internet started to act strangely. At first, it was just running slow but then with would just completely cut out randomly for hours at a time throughout the day.

As if this wasn't enough to drain my enthusiasm, I also lost a lot of work when an online save failed to function correctly during one of these transitions from working to not. Since I was home and not only ready but also excited to do the work, this failed weekend left me feeling very defeated and hesitant to dive back in.

That said, I'm also pretty proud of myself because I did stalk the internet connectivity to the point where I was able to meet all of the demands of the portions of my projects that I try to stick to a strict deadline for.

So, I don't know how today is going to go. Now that I'm this deep into the post, I feel fully awake and ready to go so hopefully the internet decides to play along. Either way, this will probably be a bit of a slacker day as I wait for my confidence in the technology to regrow.

I'll be sure to let you know how things turn out when I check in tomorrow.

Talk to you then,
