08:04… I tried to sleep in, I had the headband over my eyes and that worked out okay. When I came to and lifted the headband up, it was just past 07:30, so I considered that a success. The body is surely feeling tired, so it might be another day of reaching the goal and just maintaining the Active Hours. I did make a deposit around 04:00, the Fingerbot operated, but didn’t hit the button and my bowels made a case for expulsion, but it didn't work.

08:41… the first timer was done, while watching Sportsnet Central. I took it easy, given my energy levels and the current readings are 2.5k, 4 floors and 11 Zone minutes. A good start to the day.
Email:
Main account: both collector folders were open, but nothing important was in there.
Gmail: a couple promos here. I should get the new Diclo cream started, I saw the Gabapentin reminder and I’ll need more cream soon.
Shoppers Drug Mart: I started the refill.
Upper Deck: I sent a big deal to a seemingly random user and he accepted it last night. The free pack was collected.
Facebook: Mom messaged me as I finished with the cards. I filled her in on the game last night, which wasn’t as exciting as I was hoping. No birthdays were listed, the headline memory was unsurprisingly a walk from a year ago and there were a few reactions given in the news feed.
Twitter: a selfie from Crystal and a couple other tweets caught my eye.

Questrade: all three saw small recoveries, but all are still in the red.
Netcoins: this fell a couple more dollars, but what are you going to do?
Spotify Daily Mixes: 15 tracks to sample from Daily Mix 2.
09:20… that wasn’t too bad. My bowels are hinting that they’re finally ready. Some Restoralax may be needed today.
09:35… a small success. Some movement was had and now I’ll do the lower body, hoping for more floors.

Protein shake: a chocolate shake for my victorious physio session.
11:08…everything is done.
Dad didn’t ask about the ballgame, so he doesn’t want to know. I’m okay with that.
11:23… I added the idea of the heart and what it can do to the Random Thoughts and I might have a look at it now.
The heart is a crazy idea in the broad sense. I would consider it to be a certain defining characteristic for anyone, which I have noticed that it has nothing to do with logic, it's an animal instinct which can wreak havoc on any situation.
I would consider my heart's desire for Des as definitely an instinct, but my logical brain, not to mention her defined and lack of desire for me, suggest otherwise. My heart thinks she's gorgeous, which my logical brain agrees with. She's got an attractive character, which again my logical brain agrees with, but my logical brain offers some important counterpoints. I won't list them, but let's just say I'd have to settle for them if my heart got its way.
Somehow, the heart and the logical brain have to agree on everything to make everything work. I would offer my allegiance to the Canucks or Chelsea or the Blue Jays, at a lesser degree, makes sense to both parties. My hero growing up was Trevor Linden and between my heart and my logical brain, they agreed that his leadership was an admirable trait to really learn about and possibly reflect. He was a good player, not great, but he was a great character and his leadership ended up leading him to being president of the players association. That all made sense to both sides and I hope I reflected that in what I did or am currently doing.
Des is the first girl in a long time to get my instinctual heartstrings going. The stereotypical craziness that a body goes through when someone is close to someone who pulls those strings is tough to be better than. I felt that craziness last night, but my injured logical brain was nowhere near fast enough to process those thoughts and feelings, so I just tried to make sure that I didn't fall over and really make a fool of myself.
The heart can do a lot of good and bad with other people it would seem. The good is highlighted by all the brilliant art it can inspire, while it can inspire some crazy and horrible behavior, which of course, is a sliding scale of subjectivity. That sliding scale is another realm of craziness, but to the supposed objectivity of the law, it's fairly straightforward.
11:59… I think I got the important bits down. I'm not sure how much more detail I can give it, without getting down to the nitty gritty.
