The iMac has died. This comes a couple weeks following the logic board failure to the PPC Power Mac Pro….or whatever.

The Chromebook and the Nexus 5 are the champs now. I guess that I will have to pull all of the drives from the dead machines.

At Home Music is going where it has never gone before, into print media advertising. It doesn’t have to because its CL strategy has changed fast as lightning as a lead has come in. That is where print fails. It is slow to grab people. It can be slow to change.

Change. I am waking up just before 05:00 but I choose to lie in bed and gently wake.

The bike and squats challenge continues. It’s hard but it’s easy. Bible reading is about routine as coffee in the morning. We are in the season of Lent so I have picked up my reading.

Talon is about to lose her first tooth and I am not ready. Her baby smile is about to be set to ruin. I don’t think Kendall likes the idea that their paths are diverging. Twins are a whole different experience and we are blessed to be stewards of a pair.

My studying is proceeding in a disciplined manner. I still need to find that next gear though. It’s close, I can feel it.

Well the weekend is here and I’m checking out for now.

The strawberry jam gently boils in the water bath canner, so there isn’t long.

Up again today at 05:00 without an alarm. Yikes. The behavior changes are taking hold I believe. All of the changes I initially want to institute are regular enough that they have made available a capacity to step towards the next step.

Studying for the Real Estate exam is well under the way. I decided to sign up for thirty more days of the course and use that as a study guide. Doing so, I have come across the things that tripped me up in the course final. I feel good about my preparation plan.

The gardening is progressing with about half of the exotics removed from around the Ficus aurea. My neighbor, Larry, is such an ignorant retired fellow. He told me I should take a chain saw to it all and when I told him what I was doing he said “It’s just a chocker”. What? This is a native, like that oak in your yard.

The jam needs me so I’m out!

Another day is almost in the books. My sleep shifting is clearly moving me in the right direction. This morning I awoke at 05:00. My alarm was set for 05:30. I was probably anxious about the new stove arriving and the work needed to get it in the house. We have too much stuff.

It felt a bit strange cooking inside. I almost felt lost; like a stranger in a strange land.

The studying for my exam is taking root. I went over Escrow accounts today and while doing so came across something that tripped me up during the course final. It’s not doing it again.

I’m cutting this short because I am so tired; an effect of the sleep cycle.
