Thursday night’s tennis lesson had been quite intense, so I really struggled through work on Friday, worn out and weary.

Wednesday, June 12.I woke up at 6:30 this morning. When I opened the curtains, I was greeted by clear skies for the first time in a while. My smartwatch told me I’d slept for a full eight hours, and I felt refreshed. I was careful not to drink too much at last night’s dinner gathering,…

Saturday, June 7. I woke up at 8 a.m. to the clattering sound of a power shovel loading debris onto a truck and the grinding noise of someone shaving down a concrete wall with what seemed like a grinder, rebar and all. Not the most pleasant way to wake up. I was still tired from…

Friday, June 6th.I went to bed around 10 p.m. last night, so I ended up waking at about 4 in the morning. It seems my internal clock is set to six hours of sleep. I would really prefer to get at least seven hours, so I crawled back under the covers. Around 5 a.m., I…
