Over time, it never fails, we lose sleep. I don’t mean like, not being able to fall asleep; I don’t ever have that problem. That’s hard for me to understand… why people can’t get to sleep; sure, there’s stuff on my mind too, but nothing that is going to keep me from knocking out once my head hits the pillow. No, I mean, like only getting 4 hours on a particular evening. Per my sleep doctor, I get between 6-7 typically; they say I should get more… yeah, exactly. But when you sleep less than your normal time, that sleep is gone… forever. There is no getting it back. Even if you sneak in a nap, and if you do, lucky you. I’d love to just stay home and sleep an entire day, but then you’d still be tired, right? Right. You never fully recover, period. You may feel more rested on those days you get that good sleep, but then there’s another day where you don’t. And we go on, and on, and on… Some may say sleep is overrated, you know, the whole sleep is the cousin of death… I’ll sleep when I’m dead. Yeah, well, I don’t agree with that. I love sleeping, but yes, there are more important things…

This falling behind… it happens. Life gets busy. I try to stay on target with stuff, even ahead if possible, so that I can account for those busy times. Same goes for this here daily blog; it’s been a minute since I’ve posted. This isn’t the first time I’ve fallen behind, and it won’t be the last. Instead of just jumping back in, and writing something for today’s date June 27th, I go back to where I left off, which per the title, was June 16th. It’s just one of those things… I post daily, so I make sure there is a daily entry, even if I haven’t been “posting daily” at times. It makes sense to me, although thinking about getting current, after falling behind 10 days, does feel daunting. Again, staying current with this here thing, spending 20 minutes per day, is usually very doable. But if you multiply that by the 10 days I’m behind, you have 200 minutes, which is over 3 hours. Maybe if I get rolling, I could cut that time down. Let’s just say 15 minutes per; that’s still 2.5 hours. Ugh. Some much for staying current with my sleep…

I don’t sacrifice sleep to do this; I may on rare occasions. I don’t sacrifice things I have to do on the personal side of things, like taking my son to his baseball game or swimming, or spending time with my wife… if she wants to spend time with me… haha. No, where the magic mostly happens, is when I’m at work; hope nobody from my job is reading this… haha. Yeah, you know, you have those meetings, where you need to be in attendance, but don’t really add a whole heck of a lot of value. Yeah, those are perfect for knocking out my blog. So let’s get started, shall we?
