30 Days: Multi Health - Day 06

Sleeping without an alarm clock might be the more interesting part of the challenge. In order to avoid oversleeping in the morning I really have to remember to go to bed on time. My inner clock is not yet tuned right but it is getting better. In the first night I woke every 2 hours checking the clock. The last two nights I managed to sleep till 4 o’clock in the morning and then till 5 o’clock. I hope that with practice I can fine-tune myself to really sleep until 6 or 7 o’clock in one go. I first thought that without an alarm clock I will oversleep regularly but in reality it seems harder to sleep through and not to wake up too early.

All in all I find it far more interesting to train myself to sleep without an alarm. If I can perfect this skill within this month I shall definitely keep on doing this.

30 Days: Writing a Novel - Day 06

It isn’t over jet. I have written at least the word count for today and even a little more. It wasn’t that bad and I believe I was a bit faster than the last time. It will be a tough challenge and I hope that I do not fail any more days.

30 Days: Crochet - Day 06

I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!

Today I tried to make an asparagus according to an instruction that my wife got from a craft shop. It was also the first time that I had to do double crochet stitches and this working in rounds in only a few f***ing chain stitches to start with. I hate those stitches. The double crochet stitches are a lot softer and more fuzzy than the single crochet stitches and therefore it is much harder to find the right spot to make the next stitch in the first few rounds.

And then the whole piece is looking irregular and far too big for an asparagus. It was also very late and I had a bad day so I had very little patience. I stopped halfway through the piece. I have to decide if I try it with a different approach or if I use the time to finish the burger. Well we will see tomorrow.
