I talked to my therapist about this exact thing last month, and I came away with two things:

  1. Schedules will always eventually fail once you're trying to account for 2 kids
  2. It gets better (eventually)

If the morning works for you, treat that like your default. But, if you have a rough/unexpected morning, give them (and yourself) some grace and see if you can squeeze it in after bedtime.

If you're losing motivation because of the disruptions to your schedule, I feel that too; I've tried to zoom out a bit and focus on my numbers for the week / month instead of day-by-day to take myself out of that mindset as much. Hang in there dude πŸ‘

Sweet Caroline - play it 4-5 times on repeat, then give someone false hope by throwing something in the middle before you hit them with another 4x repeat. We did this at a local ice cream shop in high school and it convinced the staff the machine was defective. They unplugged it for a few months afterward.

This seems like a really cool thing to put onto law, but I wonder 1.) If it'll actually survive federal review, and 2.) If it'll make a meaningful difference in the amounts of gun violence in the state. I feel cynical for saying this, but I just feel like the central role guns play in the American mythos makes it really hard to solve this cultural problem with taxation and educational campaigns.
