10-Minute Warning CLXIV

Hi. What can I write here under 10 minutes?

For the past 3 weeks, I have been sleeping for more than 8 hours and I still wake up later than usual. I’m grateful that my sleep is good, but it goes to the point that I wake up almost before lunchtime, and I could have spent the extra hours doing productive things instead of sleeping more. As medical experts would say, 8 hours of sleep is ideal. And I’m not really a morning person, but to help in the family business and be more productive overall, I need to practice waking up earlier again.

So, tonight, I’m doing my nightly routine earlier so I can sleep better and earlier and eventually wake up refreshed, energized, and, well, earlier. I’m almost finished with my nightly routine as I type this post, so I feel accomplished already. I hope I will get used to this change of habit in 3 weeks. Good luck to me.

Have a great week, everyone!

30-Minute Warning XIX

Oh, God. Today is Saturday, March 9, 2024. What can I even share here under 30 minutes after drinking highball glasses of 6 Jack and Cokes?

Well, should I even share something right now after getting some liquid courage? I do not know. Right now, I am listening to War’s “Why Can We Be Friends?” more than once – something I usually do when I want to reconnect with an old friend I had a fallout with. And right now, I am also waiting for my Younger Brother to come home. Usually, he sobers up before going home, and I am sure he will keep his word. I will sleep after he comes home.

Speaking of that old friend, will I even have that reconnection? I have been praying for that reconnection for years, but will it even happen? I have been praying for it so hard yet I feel like giving up… but damn. Should I give up? My soul tells me otherwise.

What else? Oh, I am not sure if I should make my own blog featured image for this post. Maybe I should? Maybe I should. But right now, I am too drunk to click and open my Adobe Photoshop, and I am so sure tonight is the 1st time I have drank more than 5 glasses of Jack and Coke. Maybe I should just upload the image after I post this.

Again, what else? Right. My hair is full of oil-based bubble-gum-scented pomade right now, and I started washing it with hot water before I had my 1st glass of Jack and Coke last night. I need to wash my hair 2 or 3 more times so I can tell that my hair is pomade-free – and right now, that will happen this Sunday. Oh, well.

And time’s up.
