Dateline 6-9-2017

It's a good thing that I'm experimenting with this attempt to get back to my old go with the flow lifestyle because yesterday ended up being a complete waste of time. It started out just a normal day where I was excited to get through my mandatory obligations to see where the rest of the day would take me. 

I wasn't all that impressed with my Daily Breaker post because the day before was successfully uneventful and my early morning head wasn't inspired enough to come up with anything all that groundbreaking to say, not that I ever say anything all that important in these letters to no one but I just wasn't in a rambling mood, or at least not during this mind warm up portion of my day.

After I published my post, I saw that the James Comey testimony was live. As much as I hate political talk these days, I'm still drawn to the information like a tongue to a chipped tooth. So, that was close to three hours wasted, but I was fine with it because I did actually get an early start which made it just past noon when I finally got around to my attempt to watch the day's episode of SNL.

This attempt ended up taking the rest of the day due to our ISP being the shittiest service in the world. I don't know what it is because the internet was working perfectly fine until the moment that I sat down to get to work and it was so bad this time that I didn't get through my viewing and reviewing until 7:30 in the PM when I was originally on a pace to be finished by 3:00 or 4:00.

It's bad enough that I have to deal with this waste of time when this happens but what's worse is how much it affects my mood. I went from feeling relaxed all week to wanting to break everything in my room while every attempt to resolve the connectivity issue because it felt like the world was fucking with me by giving me flashes of success only to pull the rug out from under me the moment I'd try to settle in for what's supposed to be a fun/relaxing task.

As I write this now, my internet is running smooth again, but I'm stressed out that the issue will return as soon as I start today's viewing. Other than that, it's been a pretty smooth start to the day, I got a surprise visit from my nephew who was standing at my door when I woke up and now he's here to entertain me by watching YouTube videos with me as I work.

Once he heads back into the house, I'll start my viewing attempt because I don't need him out here hearing me curse at the gods if I have another day of internet shenanigans. Other than that, I'll just be playing the day by ear and will check in tomorrow with what happens.

Talk to you then,

The Wicker Breaker
