Enjoying a peaceful, quiet Easter Sunday at home. And it has been quietly productive, too. I built a KofC Easter Card graphic and sent it out to my Assembly and other Sir Knights I know. It got a good response. Ate a bowl of delicious home made beef stew that Sylvia cooked: perfect for this cool, damp day. It's incredible how much more relaxed and comfortable my online life is after cancelling my Twitter account.

The most productive thing I've done today? I cancelled my Twitter account. Again. Saving myself $8.64 per month, and removing one time-waster from my life.

Here's a “strange but true” story. I've had good (for me) long sleeps the last several nights running. And these have followed days where I've drunk TWO pots of coffee rather than my usual one pot per day. And my night time reading each of these nights before I put head to pillow has been from the collected works of H.P. Lovecraft. Not that I'd recommend that to anyone, but... there it is.

All things considered, this has been a pretty good Friday. Didn't make it to Mass yesterday or today. Cold, rainy weather and old man health issues. But I did accomplish a lot of good Knights of Columbus work: so there is that. Spent more money today than I'd planned, but I'm still safely inside the budget. And I've slept well the last few nights. Hopefully that trend will continue. We shall see.

So here I am again at 03:00 having to decide: Do I launch into my morning chores and call this an early start to the day, or do I crawl back under the covers and try for another hour or two of sleep.

So yesterday went well, until it didn't. Handled the two chores I'd set for myself smoothly and early. Handled a third that came unexpectedly. But then the wife came home super-stressed after having work done on her new car. And I got super-stressed trying to calm her down. After a rough night of more insomnia than sleep I found my blood pressure spiked higher than it's been for a long time. My challenge for today will be bringing the bp back down to a sensible level.

One very productive Sunday this has been. Our allergies kept Sylvia and me home from Mass this morning. But after our symptoms moderated later in the day, we both got a lot of good work accomplished.

This Saturday has turned out to be a much better day than yesterday. I didn't really get much done beyond paying some bills, but the wife was very busy. And she was able to move forward the good plans I'd set for resolving a problem related to our purchase of her new car. I expect to sleep MUCH better tonight than last night.
