Back on schedule, open up at 5:02am. Had a few moments to myself before Bails woke up, which in turn meant Anth woke up. Had an excellent sleep, which I’m crediting mostly to getting back to our intermittent fasting schedule, and no meals after 4pm. It sounds extreme, but so are the benefits!
Grocery delivery this morning. Lots of melons, some salmon, whole chicken, and of course Bailey’s turkey bacon dog treats which I think are probably our most-ordered item.
Sometimes when people hear we wake up at 5 or before they’ll say, “ugh, I wish I were a morning person….” I didn’t used to be. In my 20s, I would stay up way too late, and then sleep until the last possible moment before I had to get out of bed to make that 9am meeting and account for the traffic. Learning to wake up at 5am took practice, with years of setting the alarm before our systems adjusted. Early mornings are now my favorite part of the day, and no more so than during the Open! Much of the field has already teed of in Ireland before we woke up, and it was lovely to drink our morning coffee watching our favorite sport.
Feeling both mellow and energetic today, wanting to do All The Things, but at a slow pace. I think I’m due for an “organization” day. I’ve got a bit of momentum lately, both in my mood and my projects, but I’m a little all over the place with my systems. I’ve been itching to get back to the TeuxDeux app, which works really well for me. The only reason I leave it is because of lack of offline support, so I can’t rely on it completely the way I can with Things. But I think I’ll dust of it off today. In the mean time, here’s a photo of my Commonplace book. I always love seeing other people’s notebooks but am too shy to share my own. Trying to “give back” a little bit…
