Speaker 1:I'm trying this standing up this time, but it my mic doesn't quite I don't have a position right, so I'm just kinda hunched over.

Speaker 1:Long suffering supporters of this podcast and many others at goodstuff.fm. They have put up with the fact that and increased their amount they've donated almost as if in protest of the fact that there hasn't been an episode in probably a month of Daily ish. They've increased the the donations, their support, their patronage. So thank you very much, for that and for sticking around with me. I've been just mentally stuck, like cannot get my brain past.
Speaker 1:It's kind of like that light depression kind of feeling of maybe low grade depression. Is that a thing? I don't know. That just kind of gets me stuck and I can't get past it and I think I suck. I can't do this.
Speaker 1:This is stupid. Why am I talking to a microphone? Why am I recording this? And and a bit of that and like but also mixed with a ton of work that I just need to get done, bills that piled up. Luckily, we were able to pay off the property tax and the, taxes and the insurance and the whatever's that come due in June without any serious penalties or loans from parents or banks or or people like that.
Speaker 1:So we squeaked by this year. And I find often when I'm in this this state, this mood almost, I think I need to do something creative or I think I need it sucks that I can't do x y or z because I you know, if I could just do that, then that would get me over this hump. But really when I look back at it and even today, think about it. Last night, we were we're visiting with, the in laws, some families in town, hanging out. I came back with kids late, put them to bed.
Speaker 1:Sue stayed with the family and visited a little longer. So naturally, stay up later, just and and then wasn't in bed till 11:30, quarter twelve, you know, needed to read air quotes for a bit. And then it's like 12:30 by the time I'm falling asleep. And because of course our kids are our kids, the later we put them to bed, the earlier they get up. They're not like every other kid in the world who the later they stay up, later they sleep in.
Speaker 1:That's what every other kid around us is like that. Our kids aren't, so that's just the way it is. Suck it. But we suck it because then as a result, our kids get up at six then even though they went to bed at 09:30 when normally they go to bed at 07:38 and get up at 06:37. So then we're up at six 06:30 and you know starting the day off angry, frustrated, mad at our kids, mad at ourselves, staying up late, and that kind of just carries through the rest of the day.
Speaker 1:And so now at whatever it is, three diggity o'clock, I'm what I actually am is tired. I'm a little bit over caffeinated maybe as a result compensating for that tiredness, But my brain is like easily under attack from and very weak really. And so what I just need to do actually is either shut up and just admit I'm not gonna get anything good done today and go hang out with family or maybe take a ten minute break to like power down, have a nap, record a quick podcast, grab some more coffee, but actually sleep. Sleep is really the core issue of it and like I'm sort of helping myself get over this by just pumping out a episode of Daily(ish) get something creative in my out of my brain out into the world that kind of helps a little bit, but ultimately what I need is sleep. And there's things on the go that need work, need to get doing.
Speaker 1:I have a couple month long now rebuild of the Lemon Productions websites in progress that's just like painfully slow because it each time I go back to now, the longer it is before I between launching it starting the project and launching it, the more I hate it and wanna just scrap it all and start all over. And then other ideas come along where it's like, oh, that would be a good idea instead. Why would I, you know, bother rebuilding this website when I could just do x y or z instead? I think that's the second time I've said x y or z. So that's the limit on this episode.
Speaker 1:And, there we're also rebuilding the good stuff site as I've mentioned before and and, Kyle Roderick's doing a ton of legwork on that and, and so that's just another thing to take focus and should be should be garnering my focus, but it's easy to kind of get distracted by other things, other adventures, other ideas. And for the first half of this week, I which it's now, you know, I guess halfway through the week. The first half of this week was really productive, really good work, responding to emails, doing the work for clients that need to get done, getting moving the ball forward on projects up the hill, mountains, 10 110%, keeping my stick on the ace and all that kind of stuff. And now I think halfway through the week and with family here, you're just kind of like, bleh. And so this is just a little podcast episode to say, hey, Chris and maybe you, listener out there, get some more sleep.
Speaker 1:That'll help you immensely. Sleep is the often the core issue at what's going on in your brain even though you wanna blame it on other things and justify staying up late and thinking that you can handle it. All that kind of stuff, you can't. Get more sleep. Alright.
