I did not want to write this.
I did not want to do anything but watch TV tonight.
But I persisted. I rebelled against my own physiological response to my low-carb day.
7:30 pm – Fired up the ol iPad Pro and started building beats for my next Musical Hermit album.
9:45 pm – Not gonna lie, I started falling asleep making music. My guess is that because I only ate one meal and it was low carb my energy levels plummeted and gave me no reason to stay awake.
9:50 pm – Not pretty. But I put words on an empty page.
*Note on the bounce back
Monday I didn’t do squat. I “read” an hour. Oof.
But mostly just spent my time trying to find a hit of dopamine on TikTok.
So, I didn’t post.
Tonight wasn’t particularly productive but I think the important thing is that I created something. I got back on the horse after a wasted night.
That’s a lesson I’m learning and hoping to get extremely good at — bouncing back after a disappointing performance.
