    1. Pre-retirement I always made a daily checklist the night before, pushing forward items I didn't get done before, and adding anything new+daily stuff.

      I didn't do for 2 weeks while on Japan trip, which was easy cause I was all whacked out from travel, but started again as soon as I got back last night.

      I did switch from daily Japanese to Russian on Duolingo a week ago - am thinking about a future half- in the Baltics. Also thinking about steps toward more vegetarian - I really liked some of the simple V. meals we had in Koyasan. I have it on my list to try to make this Japanese vegan soup (kenchinjiru.

      1. My process is first thing in the morning I make a list of things I have to do then focus on doing those things on the list that will keep me from doing the things I don't want to do.

  1. Yesterday I had a headache so I took some Advil. Then I laid down for a few minutes to wait for them to kick in. Then I woke up half an hour later, 15 minutes late for a meeting. I blame daylight saving time.

    1. I had a migraine yesterday. I get them frequently, but I suspect this one was related to multiple major assignments due over the weekend of the clock change. I can’t wait to abolish this practice.

      1. I don't get headaches very often but I'm getting them here and there lately, the back-of-the-head muscle tension kind, mostly. I think I could use a good neck massage, I'm pretty sure I could talk Mrs. Twayn into a spa day.

  2. The Missus had her annual spaghetti dinner fundraiser Saturday. I worked the serving line for a couple of hours, until my bionic hip told me it was done for the day.

    But she came home with a ziplock full of cold (unsauced) spaghetti.

    I got the bright idea to make veggie lo mein the next night. Mmmm. I'm really loving the (still!) new, carbon steel wok I got last year from The Wok Shop in SF (order online, but be patient! I think they must make these to order or something). It gets super hot, super fast. For some reason, I have had no trouble at all with rice (for fried rice) or these noodles sticking. And I can fool myself into thinking I am getting a touch of "wok hei".
