Jim Lunsford

Another night shift almost done.

I woke up rough today. Only got 5 hours and 22 minutes of sleep, my stomach had been a mess, and Kelly said she could see it on my face when I woke up. She gave me space so I could get through the boot-up sequence.

The run changed the day.

Three miles before work. Not perfect, not heroic, just done. Somewhere in the middle of that run, I started getting my energy back and snapped out of the mood.

Then during the shift, I got strength training in too. Push-ups, rows, goblet squats, posterior chain work, and sit-ups. No time for arms, but the real work got done.

No stomach issues tonight either, which felt like a win after the last couple days.

The dead part of the shift still dragged, but it did not stay empty. I fixed an SEO title issue in Bonumark Stream, released a new version on GitHub, found another bug we will have to fix later, and started the process of forking Bonumark Publishing from Bonumark Stream.

That split matters.

Bonumark Stream is becoming the owned microblog system I wanted after first building a WordPress version of the idea months ago. Bonumark Publishing is the bigger long-term move. Eventually, I want it mature enough to replace WordPress on JimLunsford.com.

I want my words, my posts, my projects, and my sites living on systems I control.

The shift is almost over now.

Run done. Strength done. Work done. Another release out. Another bug waiting. Another piece of the bigger system moving forward.

Now it is drive home and bed.
