i\u2019m all about the practicalness of like, and definitely, the outlook on things is fairly bleak.  things are bad, and if i think about where they\u2019re headed, they\u2019re surely only going to get worse.  this is why, in the morning, i try not to think about where things are headed at all.  i just try to think about all the things i need to do, and i generally snarl at myself about all the stuff i didn\u2019t get done yesterday.  <\/p>\n<p>and i\u2019m very stern with myself, and i think about whatever thing it was i ate last night that i SHOULDN\u2019T have.  at least i didn\u2019t eat something bad last night, so that\u2019s one thing to not be crabby about.  but still, there\u2019s plenty of badness to think about.<\/p>\n<p>Morning Grace, i can get a lot done, but i realize i\u2019m not the best person to have inside my head.  at least i\u2019m very self-aware, and i know that if i can just tiptoe around myself (which involves many graceful moves), that by midday, things will start to look up as Morning Grace finally starts to march briskly out of the picture and Nighttime Grace starts stumbling and staggering into view.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to meditate right now, which will hopefully at least get MG to settle down a bit, and then i\u2019ll exercise myself into at least a temporary state of endorphin rush good feeling, and since i slept late today, well then, lunchtime is right around the corner.<\/p>\n<p>ok, too much lollygagging around here, i must GET BUSY.  march march march.<\/p>\n<p>morning grace with a vengeance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>first, let me note that my last missive, written on march 24th, was exactly TWO MONTHS before my birthday, so you still have lots of time to buy me lovely gifts. ok, anyway, i\u2019m still actually in bed this morning, and i want to talk briefly about my split personality. you might have noticed that [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6JLYy-1V","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
