I look at my BulletJournal after reviewing yesterday and incorporating what needs to be done today, and I find that I've already filled half a page with items that must be addressed, and only one or two are holdovers from yesterday, which was a very active day.

I overslept this morning, which is to say I did not rise at 4:40 am. I attribute this to the fact that, over the past 3-4 days, I've been going to bed after 11 pm because certain things needed doing. I suppose this now gives me something of a baseline to understand the number of days in a row I can thumb my nose at certain realities and get away with it.

Through all of this, I must take care to mindfully stay relaxed.

Cheers...

Further to yesterday's rant:

Apparently, despite my working with multiple files residing in folders within one parent folder, when I try to save, say, a comparison file (one that shows the differences in the text contained in two files), Word finds itself at a loss to suggest where to save said comparison, and proceeds to offer almost exclusively network locations (a bunch of locations from ~\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Network Shortcuts).

This requires me to take the time and navigate to my desired location to save the file.

Except that just now, it didn't work.

I'm hoping this is one of those bugs that occurs once in a blue moon and is never seen again, but just now, after navigating to the desired "save as" location and specifying a name for the file, Word pauses and then brings me back to the dialog box I started with, with the file name that Word proposed, to be saved in the network location Word proposed.

When it happened the first time, I scratched my head, but attributed the behavior to my having incorrectly specified the file name or something.

When it happened the second time, I was annoyed (but tried saving the file again, with a similar result).

Why does Microsoft insist that I save client information on a machine I have no real control over?

UPDATE: Microsoft still defaults to offering me a OneDrive location in which to save new files, but the annoying glitch went away after I shut down all instances of Word and restarted.
