I don't know if it has anything to do with me getting older, but I find that I am tied into my routine.  And when my routine is disrupted it throws me off and seems to affect me a lot.  This morning there was a disruption because Sheila set the alarm for 4 am and my sleep was disturbed.  I tried to make up for that my not getting up to face my day until about 7:30 which wasn't too bad.  But then today was a court holiday and the post office was closed and even though lots of folks had normal work days lots didn't and my work was really affected a lot.  So I did not have a  normal work day and I would have preferred just having work to do all day.  I'm not sure which part affects the way that I feel right now more:  my interrupted sleep or the mediocre effort that I put into my day because there really wasn't any challenge to do more.  Either way I am really tired and I want to get to bed.  I have higher hopes for tomorrow but I don't always do my Saturdays as well as I'd like either.  I am trying to figure out why I have this apathy and then do something about it, but the nature of apathy is just that:  I don't care very much about anything.  The one thing I do care about right now is sleep, so maybe I can build upon that and let it lead me on to bigger and better things.  One thing, we have our garage back as of a little while ago.  Now Sheila won't have to 'scrape' in the mornings. So count to day with at least one step.  Maybe tomorrow I can work on two.
