Excessive

It's not news to say that wine gives me migraines. It's not 100% chance though, so there is always a chance I won't get a headache at all. Last night was not one of those lucky times. We did a tasting flight of four Sauvignon Blanc wines (Legends, Meldville, Toros and a New Zealand), and we didn't drink tons or anything, just half a glass from each probably, split between us, and my head was hurting by the time I went to bed, and was a full blown migraine by the time I woke up.

I am sunburned, uncomfortable, have a headache and am unbelievably tired. Overall feeling okay.

The story of the pool goes back to last year - August 2021 - Bekki and I went on a trip to Niagara wine region and while we were gone, a pool toy got clogged in the skimmer intake, and stopped the water from filtering. As a result, the water started turning green, and was obviously not doing well. I left it to Bekki to try to fix it, and I think I remember there was a bit of a rush as we were having the Nelson BBQ soon. We dumped some random chemicals in and nothing helped. We tried for weeks, but nothing fixed it.

Maybe I stopped writing because my life is so boring hah.

Today was pretty standard. Woke up, had breakfast, made Jensen's lunch, walked Oliver to daycare, walked Jensen to school, and worked. 

Today is my 9th wedding anniversary, crazy that's it's been nine years now, it really doesn't feel that way.

Pretty normal day today, but I did wake up with a migraine. Most likely due to tasting wine - generally an issue with inexpensive wines, typically higher sugar content, tends to lead to migraines even without drinking too much. I took a migraine pill after breakfast and it cleared up before lunch.

Alright so maybe it's too late, maybe it's too late at night and I can't keep this up. Maybe my routine isn't working out, but it's hard to say for sure. Bekki told me to stop going to bed so late cause I'm always tired, but I have issues changing routine, especially after I've set my mind on it. It sucks because if the routine gets pushed back, it has a pretty big impact on all aspects of it.

This morning was pretty much you're normal morning, although I did sleep in. Yes, I didn't open my eyes until a quite late 8:00am. I did have trouble going to sleep last night, I had decided to write on here, and figured I couldn't very well play games while doing it, so I sat down, put on the first episode of Star Trek: TNG and wrote, but as I'm sure you know, the first episode of TNG is a double, so it was quite long. I needed the time for sure, as I had a pretty hard time getting back into the flow of writing. While I do still "think" in terms of writing quite a bit, it's nothing like it used to be. I decided to rewatch TNG due to a recommendation from Ben for a podcast that follows the series, where after you watch each episode, you can listen to a podcast episode that comments on the episode. It's a fun and interesting way to rewatch a series I've watch many times over, which gives it some new life. Okay, so I was talking about waking up and went on a tangent, but that's okay. I got up late, I try to wake up at 7:00am, the kids try to get me up at 7:00am, and I'd say I usually get up by around 7:15am, which is when my fitbit vibration alarm goes off. This morning I got out of bed at 8:00am.

After a five year absence of writing, I’ve decided to make my return to recording my boring day to day experiences, because using it as kind of history book has too much value to me to just let this die. So much has happened and changed in the last five years that it would be impossible to do a complete catch-up style entry, so instead I’ll pass on that, and just give a brief overview, with other details emerging organically as I continue writing into the future.
