Friday - Saturday 13-14/4/2018

Lack of exercise and a couple of pints before bed goes a long way to explaining this short sleep and early waking. My emotional response is just a shrug of the shoulders - I had a wonderful quiet quality evening with my family and enjoyed my beer. This doesn't mean I'm indifferent however - I wouldn't want this result every night - I know how important a minimum of 6 hours per night is. 
There isn't going to be an immediate response - the weekend will be one of leisure and I intend to get back to discipline on Monday.

I will therefore give myself permission to be sad today, in order to sleep better tonight and generally think straight.
