Today's gearing up to be the start of a nice little window of time. Just a couple days ago I was expecting a period filled with hurdles and hoops to navigate through to get to the next point in my plan but now responses are trickling in that are reassuring things will be fine at least for a little while longer.

Sometimes I miss being mental. Now when I say this I am by no means making light of anyone else's disability. In fact, I am not making light of anything at all. When I say I felt mental, I mean it. I'm not one of these people that claim to have OCD just because they prefer to tidy up their desk before they get to work. No, when my mind goes out of whack I have a tendency to lose my grasp on reality and pretending I'm grounded is what makes me lose my mind.

So I should be graduating from my first set of Android App building classes by the end of the day. Up until now, I've had all my assignments go through the grading process without a single issue, so of course, this final assignment, that I have to have done by the end of the day in order to avoid being charged one more month, is now giving me issues.

Alright, so my inauguration day experiment failed pretty hard, but I did end up getting a lot of sleep and now, for the most part, I feel my political concerns are out of my control so I am going to shift my attention back to getting my life in order.

***NOTE: Today's Daily Breaker is a bit of an experiment gone wrong in a very mundane way. I will be jumping around in time as I try and navigate the events of the day. This top section is me right now explaining what I had in mind which is still a little cloudy as I type.***

Good evening people of Earth... Happy Inauguration Day!!! Though I wouldn't consider myself a Trump supporter, it does feel kind of nice to have a president that might result in the strengthening of checks and balances in this country.

Murphy's Law is in full effect right now. I'm doing a lot of stuff to get healthy right now which of course means that I have to get sick right at the peak of my beginning efforts. I'm fine with this as far as getting my steps in for the day because I'm perfectly fine pacing around my room as I gripe about being sick.

Alright, things seem to be settling back into normalcy now that the holidays are over. It's not that I don't like the holidays, I'm just growing to be more and more stuck in my ways as I settle into a full-blown hermit lifestyle and it takes very little to throw a wrench in my day.

Last night I learned that sometimes it's good to just give in and give up. Since the start of the new year, I've been focusing on my health. Week one, I just started to get moving while watching what I ate. I would do at least a hundred jumping jacks a day followed by a real quick kettlebell workout. As far as food went, I was just kind of watching what I ate.

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.

I have a wedding to go to when I wake in the morning which is technically later today. It's now 1:00 in the AM so again, I dance with technicalities as to whether or not I am writing in advance to get ahead of the day. Since I am a night owl I will have to wake and go even though my departure time is early in the afternoon, probably moments after I hit the publish button to make this link go live.

I'm now starting day for with my Fitbit and am doing a pretty good job. So far I've met all the daily goals. Throughout the working hours of my day, I stick to moving at least 250 steps every hour, that along with my regular activities gets me around three-quarters of the steps I need to complete the 10,000 steps a day target. I then end the day with a dog walk to get those final set of steps.

A couple days ago I received a Fitbit as a late Christmas gift after my oldest sister informed my mom how great the thing is at keeping her active. Since I've been working on my weight since the start of the year, she figured it might help me stick to my goal. Up until this point, I've been aware of the technology but the actual device was out of my price range so I didn't give it much thought other than something I might look into when I land a full-time job.

Good afternoon crickets, today's update is going to be extremely quick but the added photo will make up for at least 1000 of those expected words. My garden has been doing really well ever since I decided to dump all the seed that I owned over germinating them one by one.

Good morning, it seems like just hours ago I was writing one of the Daily Breaker posts... oh yeah, that's because it was. Though I don't think I dumb for thinking I might be better off writing this segment at night putting it into practice proved to be problematic.

I'm really loving this new schedule that I've come up with for myself. This morning I woke up around the average time I usually wake up and then made myself a cup of coffee and breakfast to then sit down and enjoy while watching today's episode of Saturday Night Live. It was such a nice way to ease into the day while technically being productive in the process.

I think I'm going to change The Daily Breaker to be an end of the day post instead of being something that I do upon waking. When I first started this segment, I was working on the 365 Day of Resolution and this was purely meant to be a checklist of the resolutions that I planned to work on that day, so this would have to be done first thing in the morning since it was what I used to set my day.

As I grow older and older I'm beginning to buy more and more into the idea that we are living in a simulation of reality. I wouldn't say that I believe this in literal terms as in we're living in a computer and everything is digital but it wouldn't take much more evidence to pull me into that crowd. The simulation I am talking about is a forced perspective that is dictated by those who control our "history."

Alright, we completed the first week of the New Year and I have to say, I'm really digging 2017 so far. The Seeso Many Saturday Nights challenge that I started has given me a specific topic to type about which has revived my enthusiasm towards writing in general.

I swear that every president since I've been born has been accused of being the anti-Christ. Well, maybe not Ford but that's just because I don't know all that much about Ford since he was elected the year I was born president. I do know that he was clumsy and stupid thanks to Chevy Chase's portray of him on Saturday Night Live.
