20191124 SAVERS for SUNDAY

SILENCE

Tried to silence my brain for 60 seconds.  This is MUCH harder to do if I do it after being awake for an hour.  (I listened to SGU podcast at 5am)  Next time, I'll try to remember to do the silence upon awakening.

VISUALIZATION

175 by 1/31/20

I weighed 187.2 this morning.  12 pounds to go.

EXERCISE

I did my full 1+ routine for Sunday, 11/24/2019:

1. ankle/wrist circles 70
2. toe/finger stretches 70
3. bicycle crunches 70
4. shoulder rolls 70
5. inversion table 3 1-min sets
6. squats 35
7. push-ups 24 (since it's 11/24 today; tomorrow, I'll do 2 sets of 25)

READING, WRITING

I read for 60 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says the ancient Sumerians initially used only PARTIAL SCRIPT, meaning that the characters (numbers and symbols) represented only limited things.  They be used for mathematical calculations, but not to write love poems.  Latin, etc.  are FULL SCRIPTS.

This is becoming quite detailed, but it's a necessary step in understanding the evolution of social aspects of Sapiens.

*****************

Last night, I slept for the first time on my new mattress - KEROTA (moi) in KARINA (the bed).  It is firmer than a water bed (which I slept on for 25+ years).  I'm likening my new mattress to a hotel mattress - medium firmness, clean sheets, warm comforter.  I LOVED waking up to a cool fresh airy (window open all night) room, and being cozy under my down comforter.  I used my CPAP, so I slept better than I have in a while.

At least SOME aspects of my life are pleasant, and this is one of them.  :-)
