Second day off.

I started the day slower than usual. Ate breakfast, sat in the recliner, and watched an entire Fantastic 4 movie. I felt guilty for sitting still that long, because apparently, relaxing is still something I treat like suspicious behavior.

But the day did not stay still.

Kelly was gone for part of the day, so I had Garrett and Sebastian. I thought the run was blocked, but my parents live four houses down, the boys were at the neighbor’s house, and I was able to get coverage long enough to squeeze in 3.11 miles.

After that, I got a full push workout in: sit-ups, push-ups, barbell overhead press, bench press, lateral raises, and tricep extensions.

Then Kelly, the boys, and I went to IHOP. After that, Garrett, Sebastian, and I went on a 7.13-mile bike ride and saw three deer. I only got a picture of one, but the ride was the kind of thing I hope they remember later.

That is the point of all this, anyway.

Lead by example first for my family, then for whoever else sees it.

Off and on through the day, I kept pushing Bonumark Publishing forward, too. I watched two movies, ate dinner, showered, gave prompts, tested ideas, and worked on the default theme until I started getting frustrated. That was the line.

So I stopped.

Not every problem needs to be solved at midnight. Sometimes the proof is knowing when the work is turning stupid and stepping away before tomorrow has to clean up the mess.

Run done. Push workout done. Family time done. Bike ride done. More Bonumark Publishing work done.

Now I am going to play a little Battlefield, let my brain come down, and call it a day.
