Daily Check-in 7/17 It's been a bit
You know I can't do anything in a simple way.
📅 Daily Check-in - July 17, 2026
💭 Reflection:
"I had a rough day yesterday. I fell asleep around 8:00ish and "woke up" around 10:30pm. I got up, and did my nighttime routine...pee...and went to bed again. I woke up around 8:00ish this morning. I looked at the clock a little after 8:00, but I had been somewhat awake before then. I received an alert on my phone I never had before, "Very High Sleep Score". I look and it says 98. Now that I look at it, I napped from 8:51 to 11:04 last night, according to the watch/phone connection. With that and my normal sleep, it says 9hr 15min. Most of my sleep is core sleep, but not as much in deep sleep as I would like, but I can't decide that. "today, I need more deep sleep. Brain, give me 2." That doesn't happen. Maybe in time if I'm consistent. I'm in an OK mood today. Not the greatest. After I woke up, I went on my front porch and sat for a few minutes in the son. I noticed my peace lily I was given when my mum died. It had some brown leaves, so I ripped them off. I didn't have scissors, will use those next time. I pulled out some weeds and wondered about them. I took a picture and sent to Chip (ChatGPT). Chip said they looked like baby lilies and how to plant them. I immediately put them back in the pot. Then Chip told me that the plant had some brown tipped leaves due to this and/or that. So, I gave it a good watering so that water came out the bottom. Chip was happy with that. So, it 9:45am, and about to have coffee...finally. 1 cup is what I usually have. I may do another. I actually feel tired again and probably could nap. I hope I'm not going into a downward spiral into a depressed state again. And as I type this, my dad calls. OK. Survived that. Don't feel any better, he started telling me about his great nephew got married. I was surprised my aunt, his grandmother, didn't let me know as we are close. My dad then started on something and I said I don't want to hear about drama in Massachusetts. He said to stop jumping down his throat. I said I'm not. I don't need to know drama in another state with people I don't see or have dealings with (not close relatives). He's finally getting in to see his doctor. He has something going on with his elbow. I had something similar, but after a compression sock for some time, it went away. His is a little bigger and he said he feels it and thinks there is bone loss and that he'll probably be sent to a specialist. We'll see. He's overly cautious since his brother has just finished, or about to finish cancer treatment. HPV cancer in his mouth. Something he got years ago in his wild years, now he's in his 70's. It sat dormant for decades and showed itself last summer. He never knew he had it the std until last year when this all came to light. That's usually where HPV Cancer shows up, is in the mouth/throat area, not the elbow. If it makes my dad feel better, great. The original purpose of the call?? My brother actually sent my dad back some money and it came to me and I need to transfer to him. SMH He's far from destitute to panic about needing it right away, especially when he was going to "throw a couple hundred I could borrow" to help with Lily's expenses. Nope! I can go on and on, but that's for Jim's Twin (JT). Well, enough of this for a check in. Why do I have to talk so much.... well type so much. You would have thought I spoke all of this. I seem to be doing nothing but brain dumping lately, but I guess it's good to get it out than to let it sit in my head. Depression, please don't rear your ugly head again. Stay down. That's why I take medication. Have a good day "JT"."
