What CJ Wants for Christmas

When I write to Santa, I will be asking for a Grand Canyon calendar for 2005 (images here), in part to help inspire me to go do that hike next fall or so.

I suppose I'd also like three tiny little machine screws for a hand-me-down digital camera. It was free, but as with all free things, there is a nonmonetary cost. :-)

Owies again.

What is it with time of day? Evenings are bad, mornings are good (unless a particularly bad evening carries through the night and only starts to fade late in the next morning). What's with this? Stress? Sitting in a chair?? And what about that every-other-day pattern? Since I've been paying attention (granted, only since Sunday really), it's been like clockwork.

Okay, here's the log I am starting.
1) What foods I eat, how much, and when in the day. Drinks too, particularly caffeine, sugar, or anything carbonated.
2) How well I slept the previous night - probably just a number of hours.
3) Guesstimated stress level or mood, scale of one to ten or something simple like that.
4) Pain level, with time of day.
5) Flow, probably on a numerical scale.

Must find a way to graph this, at least 2-5 on a single chart plotted against time. Excel maybe?

Other ideas of stuff to write down? May as well make it as complicated annoying comprehensive as possible.
