I woke up around 4:30 and had trouble getting back to sleep. 5:30 and I might have just gotten up, but 4:30? I wanted to get more sleep. And it didn’t feel like I did, but I know that I did because I had some dreams and then woke again closer to 6 so I got moving before the alarm went off.
There was still enough moonlight to walk by, though I did turn my headlamp on briefly when there was a car approaching. Best that they can see me well. I like seeing the little stream at the bottom of the hill silvered by moonlight.
Several meetings today at work. They went well, though one of them ran really long and I missed my afternoon snack. Good thing I had a hearty dinner waiting for me. At lunch, I got mail from the VP of my division congratulating me on my fifteen years of service, which I will technically not hit until Sunday, but this is close enough. I’m glad to be recognized.
After dinner, I got ready to go to the hot springs. I wanted to get there a little early so that I could take full advantage of my time. I planned to attend the Move U office hours at 7, which meant I had to leave the hot springs around 6:45 to get home in time. I had a good, long soak in the hot tub, reading my book while other people talked around me.
The office hours zoom was quite instructive. I felt some new sensations in my left deltoid while doing pelvic flexion and upper back extension. Not painful, exactly, but stretchy. Like the muscle was trying to break out of a position that it had been holding for too long.
I’m still feeling unfocused during work. Once I get into something, I can usually stick with it, but getting started is the hard part. Choosing what to start. I’m glad when I have training meetings or working meetings, because I know what to do in those. Somehow, I need to give myself a little more guidance. Something Ambrose used to help me with; setting my direction. Now it’s up to me.
