The Olympics Are a Real Time Sink

[days_unfolding]

Stayed up too late and then couldn't fall asleep. I got up and ate some oatmeal, which did the trick as it usually does. I drink soy milk, and Google says that soy milk is rich in L-tryptophan, so maybe that's it.

Olympics: Jade Carey won the gold for her floor exercise routine. Apparently Simone Biles being out was the best thing that could happen for the rest of the team. Simone Biles is going to do the balance beam final though.

I'm already changing some work-related goals in my list of goals. But at least, I'm thinking about them. (My boss discussed my cross-training with one of the programmers on another team, but he writes scripts in Perl. So I need to learn Perl.)

Sigh. I wanted to watch the gymnastics, but NBC kept on showing other events first. They have a thing for beach volleyball. So I wound up watching two hours of television, which wasn't on my to-do list. I can see how some people just cocoon and watch TV in the evening. It's relaxing. Hmm. I'm wondering what that means for piano class tomorrow. I guess that they'll show the gymnastics later, although there will be a lot of interest because Simone Biles will be in it.

I have the link to the equestrian eventing and show jumping, but it's 5 hours long. No.

Now I'm doing triage on what I need to do. The top things are practice piano and finish the knitting for class tomorrow. Hmm. I'm getting impatient with my knitting, probably because I have a deadline. Completed two rows of lumpy, bumpy knitting and I'm done. Now I'm taking a break to post and then I'll practice piano.
