I went to bed at about 1 or 1:30, and woke up around 4. I tried staying in bed and trying to get back to sleep and finally got out of bed at 6. So that's maybe 3 hours of real sleep?
I've given up beef and dairy, coffee and caffeine in general, and am pretty far along in getting off of alcohol. Plus working on going back to living in "day mode".
Beef and dairy might be a big deal, because I was eating beef at least every other day and dairy every day. I was eating tons of cheese.
Still, I should feel a lot lousier. I was up at 6, watched stuff on YouTube and had some natto and then some scrambled eggs, and took off with the really big box and a smaller one at a bit before 10. The traffic was actually nicer than it was around 10:30 and I should try going out at 9 to see how that compares.
The drop-off went fine and I rode back here and dropped off the trailer and went downtown to the Amazon hub where Richard hasn't saved any bubble mailers for me "But I'll start today" and I got a grand total of 4 out of the trash cans.
It was nice being out though. Unlike yesterday it was a little bit more cold and grey today. I stopped at Nijiya and got a few things, but no sake. One of the things was a "school lunch" bento which I ate back here.
Then I tried to get something like sleep, going back to bed from 2-6, and got snippets of something like sleep. I got up and started in on packing Ebay things around 7:30, and got a call from Ken: he's coming by tonight "with some boxes".
So I packed things as fast as I could, actually getting 16 packages done, and Ken came by "with some boxes" which were packing boxes and a large number of boxes full of "Bud" project boxes for building electronic things in, which should sell well. I asked Ken to help me find something I could not, and while he hunted around in the warehouse I unloaded the boxes of project boxes out of his truck and into the office.
I told Ken I'm really afraid to move anywhere like back to Hawaii until I'm eligible for at least the minimum Social Security, so I have to just "serve out my 4-year sentence" here, working for him. I said that my giving up beef, coffee, alcohol, and switching over to "day mode" like a normal person are all in preparation for my living like a normal Hawaii person where they get up early and get things done before the heat of the middle of the day. I was also proud to say that I'd only had this day, 50-ml of sake (15% alcohol) in two 25-ml doses, hours apart.
On a more humorous note, Ken had never heard of "Supply-Side Jesus" so I found the comic strip and spoke all the parts and I was pleasantly surprised myself how much stronger my voice is becoming. I'd never read more than the first few panels of it so it was fun going through the whole thing.
