- I try to correct doomscrolling with audiobooks and closed eyes. I'm working on book 6 for the year. I hope I can keep this up. Reading with my eyes all day on screens usually means that reading for enjoyment is reserved for non screen days. Those are few and far between.

- I picked up a day calendar, the kind where you pull off each individual day and there's a new little thing. It's one of my favorite daily rituals now.

- When I'm focusing I find old known good records and listen to them front to back. It's a weird quirk I picked up from Stephen King's writing progress. It's meant to prevent you from wanting to switch over and find something better. I had a few albums from my teens that I used to do this with on late night focus sessions. I want to build a little library of mini discs for this.

1) Eldest daughter arrived home from university for her Christmas break. Had her favorite dinner: chicken fried rice.

2) Ran a 5k followed by #swimming. All ready for my swim lessons tomorrow to show off my progress with bilateral breathing.

3) Family watched Charlie Brown Christmas Special. While the Halloween is my favorite, the Christmas Special always delivers.

1) Finished grading final exams. :-(

2) Ran a 5K this morning when the temp was 57F/14C. Temp is now 28F/-12C. Suppose to be in the low 20sF tomorrow morning. Brrr.

3) Washed the flannel bed sheets. Will be pulling them out of the dryer, making the bed, and then hopping in. Not many thing better than fresh, hot, flannel sheets on a cold night. ;-)

(1) ran 4 miles this morning. Probably should have taken it a bit easier. Usually do the pool after running on Tuesdays, but closed on Veterans Day. 😠

(2) carpet cleaned the basement in anticipation of entertaining during Thanksgiving. Wow - the carpet really needed it.

(3) took a nap. It is Veterans Day after all. ;-)

(1) Hit a new PR this morning in the University of Kansas #Veterans Day #5K. Happy with my time despite running the hills of campus in the cold, cold weather.

(2) Found my deviled egg recipe to serve as a #Thanksgiving #appetizer.

(3) Placed the angel on top of our newly installed #Christmas tree. It might be a bit early; I think Christmas cheer is what we need.
