it's been a better week

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2016.09.22

Bruised ribs or no, it's been a better week. I got my watch back, almost as good as new. I learned a new thing when repairing the brakes on my bike. And I took the opportunity to finally replace the dying living room laptop when I replaced that dead USB device, and in so doing saved hundreds of dollars. And those grant applications? Greeted with wide gratitude and excitement.

And hey, when some 600mg ibuprofen tablets turned up around the house, I even started sleeping. Because by happy chance, now that she's a school girl, The Owl has started to sleep through the night. It's happened something like three times this week.

Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that's real power.
