A little bit of a grip.

And it helps me to feel somewhat useful now that I kind of understand what is going on at work now. I am far from knowing all that I should like to know but I feel like I might be past the half-way point at least. Productivity is finally starting to feel like it is setting in. This is a very good thing indeed!

Productivity power!

There is certainly more than one thing to be said about being consistently productive throughout the course of a day. It keeps me positively distracted, keeps me positively directed, and keeps me positively motivated. Plus, today there was a high variety of different things which fell into this awesome category. So, even though I had a couple or so down-notes, I am still thoroughly plussed about the day as a whole. Boom.

Research is challenging.

It requires a great deal of complex thought as well as the temperament to realize when any particular line of research might need to change. Dead ends can not be too daunting as they are a more than regular occurrence. Overall, you just need to be fine with doing what feels like a poor job almost continuously. No biggie. And yet I still enjoyed several hours of doing it today. Ha.

Wrapping up the season.

Despite our losing record it has been a fine year of basketball this year in the men's league at church. Lots of great moments in every game and I feel like I still contributed a decent amount to some of our successes overall. Plus, I feel like I am in better shape than I have been in recent years. I am not entirely sure what to attribute that to but I am glad for it anyway.

I have lots of cooler thoughts, on average.

But it always seems to be the most boring part of my day when I sit down to write this stuff out. I often think I need to record voice memos of the shinier thoughts in order to recount and expand on them later but I just don't seem motivated enough about changing my ways at the moment. Maybe next time... so sayeth the procrastinator within.

Getting back to it... again.

My consistency has been really spotty lately but I think I'm finally getting back to a normal pace again. It has not actually been particularly busy, actually, more as it has basically been sleep-deprived. My brain and body have been in more of a pre-sleep stupor than anything functionally writer-like. Anyway, it is another reboot which I am sure to repeat again not before too long. Sleep is a precious, somewhat elusive, commodity these days.

Sleeplessness.

Which is a terrible excuse for my lack of entry consistency lately. Terrible because it just shouldn't be happening, not because it doesn't have an effect. Now, I need to sleep as soon as possible. Boom!
