Check-In: 2015-12-17 (Thursday)

Been a while! I've had a crazy weekend and week.

Body: Good (yoga, walking, rest, good sleep)
Mind: Tired But Active (meditation, game meeting, TED talks)
Spirit: Excellent (being helpful, meditation, relaxation)

The past several days I first of all had a mediation seminar that involved lots of early mornings, and then I've been helping a friend out in small ways since he's been going through some surgery. The actual work involved has been extremely minor--sending a few emails, shovelling his walk for 5 min, that kind of thing--but even these small things have been a pleasant boost in the spirit category. We are social beings, and we have evolved in such a way that our brains reward us when we help each other.

I'm still catching up on sleep, but I am having a lot of success in doing so wisely. I've been getting tired early and I've been taking advantage of it. My sleeps have been both long and at relatively good times of night. I still feel like I'm paying off some sleep debt, but at least I am making my payments. This may also give me a good stable sleep pattern to continue with afterwards, which can be very helpful for getting things done.

My ribs are feeling better and better. I did a little yoga over the meditation weekend and my ribs didn't mind. In fact, they seemed to get better for having had a little exercise. So that's encouraging.

We had a really good game meeting on Tuesday night. Andrew has accomplished some really interesting feats in programming and Gerry and Andrew have done some neat things with the art. In the near future I'll need to step up and do some design again. Of course, priority is still the AI course which has been on hold for the last several days, though I'm going to take a stab at getting some done this afternoon.

I'll try to get back into the regular blogging habit again. I have no shortage of things to write about.
