Going to sleep soon Nostriches. Last night i took a little extra Melatonin and it seemed to help me get my first “through the night” sleep in a couple of weeks. HR was also a couple beats lower. Not at target but closer. Probably looking at a 48h fast this week followed by a day or two of bone broth to kick the “holiday food” inflammation which I assume is what’s been going on with my sleep these last few weeks. We shall see.

Got a new phone case delivered today. For the last decade I’ve exclusively used OtterBox Defender cases ($60). Since I haven’t upgraded my phone in a few years that case is now about $20. But then I found a darn near identical case (with some extra goodies) for $7. I thought, “well for less than half the price, I’ll give it a whirl”, albeit I wasn’t expecting to keep it… Well let me tell you! This knockoff case is about 95% the official one! And for $7 I’m darn near sur-pressed (surprised + impressed). I’m going to keep this in mind for all future purchases. Why? So I can stack sats with the difference!!
