Dream

I had a lucid dream last night, I'm pretty sure. The parts that I remember were... explicit, so I won't share them. There was also a very abstract part afterwards. It was nothing but white, and my thoughts were not words or pictures but just this feeling I can't put into words.

It was neat.

Thinking

I think the missing piece of my stability is stretching. I've been real bad about being consistent with it, and have removed a lot of stretches from my daily routine. I got in most of my stretching yesterday and feel much better today. Not proof, but a data point in that direction.

Because morning routines are my most-consistent thing I do, I think I'll try and make it so I stretch before these planning pomodoros which I did this morning. And I feel pretty gpood.

This should also make my morning runs to work (which I plan on doing again) better, as I'll have already stretched.

Hoping Twitter Habit is Dead Again

I still have the trigger, but don't even open a browser and start typing it in. This is also the different trigger (politics) then the one defeated before, and that one didn't come back, I don't think. Which I think means I have overwritten the politics trigger.

We'll see, but I'm hopeful. I felt like crap on Saturday and still managed to not go to twitter at all. Let's see what happens come the Nevada primary, though.
