DAY TWENTY-FOUR (12/8/12)

1 - Wake Up @ 6:00am

     As I had mentioned in earlier posts, this challenge was not well-thought-out.  I really intended this challenge to get me up at 6:00am on weekdays, so I'm not rushed getting ready for work.  That being said, it's the weekend, and I slept in 'til 9:00am.  When I got up it felt like Noon.  It was strange being in bed with the sun up.  I always get up before the sun and go to bed after the sun goes down.  RED LIGHT it is!

2 - Scottish Shower

     I may have slept in three hours past my proposed wake-time, but this was one of the most productive days I've had since I started this Challenge.  I popped out of bed, worked out and took a freezing cold shower.  BOOM!  I was jolted into Productivity Mode.

3 - No Television

     No time for TV!  I cleaned the bathroom, kitchen and the junk closet.  I did what seemed like a year-supply of laundry.  I cleaned out my car and brought Rachel's old dresser up to my office.  I rearranged my office to accommodate my new 88-key electric piano; a most-gracious gift from Rachel's mom.  Thanks Liz!  I love the new arrangement of my office.  It took a long time to reconfigure all of my music equipment, but I really love the new setup.  Rachel came home from work in the afternoon.  We played a few games of cards, cooked a giant supper and both passed out on the couches.  Great day!

4 - Clean My Room

Room is clean and rearranged = Ethan is very happy.


5 - Write A Song Every Day

    "Day Twenty-Four" is (thanks to the new keyboard) a quirky, campy tune fueled by a super simple and cheesy piano melody.  I really wanted to produce it immediately, but was just too busy cleaning and rearranging furniture/equipment and organizing thousands of cords.


6 - 30 Minute Workout

     Got my workout in this morning, not to mention moving a lot of heavy furniture.  I'll be really sore tomorrow.
