the routine When I get home from work I am hungry, which is understandable. The problem is that is end up turning the television on when I am eating, which I really shouldn't do when I am trying to wind down for the day. I suppose that if I were just waking up it would be fine. I can handle some mindless talking when I am trying to wake up, but the morning talk shows drive me insane. So rather than clearing my mind, I have all of this nonsense from the television floating around keeping me awake. Today, however, I sat at my kitchen table to eat and read a magazine instead of turning the television on. It sounds dumb, but it made a big difference in my day and I probably slept better because of it. I often judge my day by how much I accomplish, but I would still call today a success despite the fact that I didn't do really do anything. It wasn't like yesterday where I spent most of it in a sleepy daze. Today I was alert and focused, which felt good. So I suppose it doesn't matter how much I do in a day as long as I feel okay. The feeling of contentment when I woke up was enough. The cloud cover of the past twenty-four hours had lifted by the time that I woke and with the falling temperatures I could turn off the air conditioner and open the windows again. A waxing moon was visible to the south through my window as the last of the clouds moved by. Fall is coming soon and I am looking forward to it. Before I left for work I watched the second episode of the show with David Blaine in it and I have to say that it works for me. What he does is simple but impressive at the same time and I wouldn't mind meeting him somewhere. It must be great to see what he does up close. Most other magicians bore me, but he doesn't.
