For some reason I feel great tonight lol and like all full of energy. Sort of. Sort of tired, sort of hyper LOL but I think the tired is cause it’s 11pm already and I barely slept last night lol but I could be hyper lol maybe it is because I got out and did so much today instead of just sitting around all day lol

My music taste is so ridiculously random/varied lol

Sorry, this is probably getting super annoying now and getting slightly old/annoying for me to post every time too so I probably won’t after this or not for a while but anyway, brushed, flossed, AND used mouthwash again lol this morning I think I just brushed. I can’t remember if I flossed or not LOL but I don’t think so cause I think I was running late. Or maybe I did cause I had the dentist appointment. Idk. Lol either way, I flossed tonight, whether for the first time today or second time, and finally used the mouthwash again which I haven’t been the last few times, so there’s that. And in other, yet related, news, my teeth, imo, already look whiter and way better lol and my face doesn’t hurt anymore so I wonder if maybe it was either just like sinuses or maybe that salivary gland thing. I actually read about that last night and was wondering if that could be it. It also said dry mouth and poor oral hygiene can contribute to it/be risk factors and my mouth has been kind of dry lately and of course I don’t take care of my teeth and also I am a mouth breather which makes the plaque dry and probably also just dries my mouth out more and I have noticed since I have been brushing more regularly, my mouth oddly doesn’t seem as dry. Of course, I have also been drinking way more water and more throughout the day instead of at once, but still. I read when reading about that that brushing your teeth can stimulate saliva production. Which makes sense since I always drool/fill my mouth up with spit and saliva when brushing lol so maybe all the brushing, flossing, and even mouthwash is stimulating more saliva production and flushing my salivary glands out?? Which is maybe why my face doesn’t hurt now? So I need to start brushing more. Well, also obviously for the health and looks of my teeth, and lots of other reasons, but also, if it helps my mouth to not be dry and helps to flush my salivary glands out to prevent infections in them, then I am all for it lol

Dry mouth = dehydration. Drink lots of water all day long. Dry mouth can also be a sign of diabetes. Have blood sugar and A1C checked.

You also need to chew her out for being up posting at 2 AM instead of going to bed at a decent time.

Morning all

Biggest problem we had a work.... people who were not able to get there on time. They were not used to a schedule. They were use to doing what they wanted when they wanted. 3 strikes in a year and they were suspended,4 fired.
Only had 4 people fired for something else. Over 30 for tardy or AWOL in 35 yrs most the last 10 yrs

I can see all these

Anyway, I do drink water all the time. All I drink is water. But that said, sometimes I don’t drink anything for hours and then chug a bunch all at once. Been working on drinking it slower and taking smaller sips more frequently so it gets absorbed and not just peed out. But I don’t drink anything else usually. And what is A1C?

But I have had blood work I think just a few months ago or at least pretty recently, def the last 6 months to 1 year. Not sure the exact date. I gotta check. But I had the physical and I had a few other appointments and I think they checked it again. It was still slightly high but not diabetic yet.

As for bedtime, that’s somewhat early for me. I used to stay up way later and some nights I stay up till 3 or 4 but last night I went to bed decently early, at least for me. I don’t wake up until 10:30 so that’s enough sleep for me, I am a night owl and on a slightly different schedule. If I go to bed too early, then I either can’t sleep cause I’m not used to being in bed so early and/or I wake up too early/am tired all day from it. Although this morning I woke up at 8:30 and fell back asleep until 10:30. I sometimes don’t sleep that well anyway I guess. I think it’s the pillows or the fact that I drink a ton of water before bed. But anyway, last night I went off from like 5:30 until 7:30 and ate then too so it was kind of thrown off cause usually I stay home all night so I somewhat started using the iPad later so that threw it off a little bit but I still went to bed relatively early and I even avoided a midnight snack like I usually have because I was still really full from dinner and I also wanted to go to bed early and not have to stay up 3 hours like I would having a big meal, so I specifically avoided eating at night and just went upstairs. And I also had a super productive morning and didn’t use my iPad once until now so I think it clearly is working for me lol I got up when the alarm went off instead of laying there for forever like usual and I made the decision to get dressed first before I ever even left my room (usually I go to the bathroom when I get up then get dressed but decided I should just get dressed first), went to the bathroom, then went downstairs, fed the chickens (food is inside for now as I need to clean the feed container so I had to go outside to get the bowl, which was tipped over and empty, bring it inside, fill it up, then bring it back outside and put it back out there), started making my own breakfast, went downstairs to check the cat’s food (she was begging for a can but turns out she has plenty of dry food so I told her no lol she only gets fed at night but was pretty pushy so I thought for sure maybe dry was empty. Nope. Just a manipulative kitty LOL didn’t work. Almost did until I realized she had plenty of food), put the egg shells outside, all while my breakfast is cooking and yes I kept checking it, finished making my own breakfast and ate it, then went upstairs and brushed my teeth, and left, because I had put my shoes on during this time too. So I had the most productive morning yet so I don’t think time affects it that much lol now, when I stay up much later than 1:30 or 2, then I start getting kind of tired/feeling weird and have a bad sleep and less productive, but before then, is totally normal for me and doesn’t affect me. And on days when I don’t have to work, I usually sleep later anyway. But I guess I should probably start trying to go to bed a little earlier just because I would like to try getting up a little earlier, but the current bedtime, really doesn’t affect me. That said, I was oddly still a few minutes late, but I stayed late so it worked out but it’s just kind of annoying considering I had the best morning ever yet was still a tad late (5-10 mins). I think what got me was I spent a few mins reading the feed bag and also checking the cat food. I think if I didn’t do that, I would have been on time. Or maybe just avoided feeding the chickens. They had a little bit of food on ground, could have left it and fed after, since I was barely at work, but oh well. I think those little 5-10 mins of distraction add up and I would have been on time had I not had them. BUT. I did not use the iPad at all this morning. Didn’t even check it once. At all. And left it at home instead of bringing it with me. So there is that. I think that is good at least. I cannot blame the iPad for this morning. But I think I should have just gotten ready and not taken care of the chickens or I should have not eaten breakfast and eaten after considering the job is pretty short. Or could have not brushed my teeth since no one is there and it’s a short job. Or if I hadn’t eaten, I would have had no need to brush my teeth. And probably should have left earlier rather than a few mins after I am supposed to be there. Should have stopped eating my breakfast and ran out the door when I saw the time. Lots of woulda shoulda couldas but I stayed 15 mins later to make up for it so it is okay for today. But for tomorrow and next week and all the other jobs, I am going to work on being there ON TIME or even early. But this morning was still super productive and I had a heathy breakfast (3 egg omelette from my own eggs with American cheese. Wanted to add spinach but had none. And some goat milk yogurt with honey. Out of berries too. And had some elderberry syrup cause I was filling a bit sick. And of course and big huge glass of water.) so I am making progress in some areas at least. Going backwards in some areas but making progress in other areas. I also let the chickens out around 12:20, 12:30 when I got back because they were just laying in the coop and also they have been getting pretty fat lately because they keep doing that almost all day so I wanted them to get some exercise LOL

Oh wow that’s a lot of people! I definitely need to work on my timeliness/promptness/punctuality but I am at least starting to make some progress in other areas too. But for me it’s not really so much the no schedule/doing what I want thing (even though I said that and the other stuff yesterday and I know you are just giving an example of what happens to ppl like that), as much as time management. Like, I’m not purposely late or thinking that a job or being on time doesn’t matter or anything, I just usually either have a hard time get going or I make poor choices. Like deciding to eat breakfast and feed all the animals this morning when I should have just left and wasting those extra few minutes reading the feed bag and washing my hands a few times etc. all that little shit would have added up to me being on time possibly. But of course I also just need to plan better, like I should have left well before I was supposed to be there. But I just tend to make dumb choice AND also I just move/do things really slow and take forever doing them, so it usually adds up to being late. But I need to work on it. Sometimes with the one job, I’m like oh it’s family so it doesn’t really matter/she doesn’t really care because I stay for hours anyway and they’re still super tired, but it does matter. Granted, it’s probably true she doesn’t care, but it’s still rude. I do try to be on time to the non family one but I should just try to be on time or early to both. Especially when we only live 2 miles from both. And it is good practice for if I ever get more clients or even a real/regular job. I can’t be late to every single one and then just go oh I’m just really slow getting ready/always running late.
