Dateline 9-5-2017

Today’s going to be a fun one, as I bounce back and forth between being a grumpy jerk and calming with the realization that it’s all out of my hands and there’s nothing I can do about. First off, I’m a little grumpy from the get because last night I did some drinking of adult beverages but didn’t have enough to put me down for the night leaving me buzzed, bored and smack dab in the middle of a bout of insomnia.

To make things worse, my friend that I was drinking with crashed in the main house (remember I live in a garage and not a pool house or anything fancy) and right before I finally passed out, I noticed that he left a couple things behind which only added to the insomnia as I struggled to settle in a slumber know that I could be awoken at any minute from him returning to gather his things because with drunks you never know if they are just going to crash for a couple hours to sober up or sleep all the way up to their normal waking hour.

This alone didn’t make me all the grumpy but the lack of sleep has me a bit more irritable than usual. The thing that actually made me grumpy is that I gave up on trying to sleep in exchange for getting an earlier start to my day in hopes to get things done quickly and go back to sleep before settling too deep into the world of the awake.

Unfortunately, the website that I use to publish my posts was down from the moment that I woke up and has remained down for the last couple of hours. Thankfully, they are really good at keeping their customers up to date on known issues and their efforts to resolve them but that still doesn’t help the waiting.

This is the true reason for my current shifting mood because I both understand that things like this are bound to happen, I’m just upset with the poor timing where I have this sleep deprived mind at the wheel. Though I am able to write this Daily Breaker post in Word to then cut and paste the content into the site’s publishing software, I’m screwed when it comes to my SNL review because I need access to the site in order to get to my template that isn’t available anywhere else leaving my schedule up in the air and out of my hands which is enough to drive me crazy.

Alright, some time has now passed and they seemed to have figured things out, but this still has caused an hour of me doing nothing when I was perfectly ready to go.

Oh well, it is what it is and now it’s done. Hopefully, the site will stay stable enough for at least two hours allowing me to finish everything required of me so I can finally get some sleep before jumping back onto Phase IV of my SNL Review Prep-Work strategy.

As always, I’ll check in tomorrow with my progress.

Talk to you then,
