Today was a typical day in my life. I woke up at 11:30pm last night. I had crashed at about 7pm the night before because I was tired and I wanted to escape the stress of my wife and sister-in-law arriving from work at the same time. Not that they’re all that bad, but I’d spent the day in solitary tranquility and they were little bundles of energy and industry. The stress was all in my head.

I was pretty well rested. I sat down at the computer(s) and started reviewing what I’d missed the previous evening. Lots of work to do. I fired up the coding environment and started in on some of the stuff I’d been working on yesterday.

By 3am I’d made some very good progress, and Sangeeta was up, so I took a break and went to the gym for about 45 minutes. It was raining hard, so my car got cleaner.

After that, work got harder and I burned out. Around 8am Sangeeta went off to class and work, and I went back to sleep until around 10am. I started cooking some ground turkey (so I could make some chili). At around 10:30am I smelled it burning. 1.5 pounds of ground turkey burned to a crisp. My apartment smells awful now.

By 1am I’d not managed to accomplish much more than the turkey fiasco and reorganizing some files on my HD, so I showered and went to the post office to mail something for Sangeeta. Now I’m back and getting tired again. It’s 4:30 and I’m going to take a nap. I’ll try this programming stuff more after dinner…
