I’m in bed earlier than usual, because I have a 4:45 wake up call in order to get my mid kid to practice pickup by 5:15. He is doing the equivalent of two-a-days three times a week in order to fit in his two main sports. He plays soccer and football and hopefully will be able to go to the next level in one or both and then to the level beyond that if possible. I’d love to see him use his foot skills to become a high school kicker and soccer player and then scholarship in both areas in order to cover the cost of college. Once in college I would like to see him find his way and be happy. I want that for all my kids. I found it myself, but it took a damn long time. Up till a few years ago, in fact.
As I reflect on my happy I find that this diet is really harshing my mellow (more than the leaky faucet). By reducing my meals to basically walnuts and coffee a few times a day I am limiting the nutrients that flood into me when I am eating well. The lack of nutrition shows so much that I am starting to pick up on it. Maybe the best plan is some sleep and good food in the early morning.
Some Thoughts:
- My leaky faucet is going to cost me my pension. Seriously, it has to be costing a fortune, but I have yet to find the time/energy to fix it.
