Umbecast

14 Qudrat 163 B.E. - November 17, 2006

Dictionary.com defines umbecast in this way “To cast about; to consider; to ponder.” and gives the pronunciation as Um"be*cast`.

That definition certainly explains my mood in the past few days. Yesterday I wrote about one subject that I’ve been pondering. Today I’m going to write about other subjects, I’ve been umbecast a lot lately.

I’ve been pondering why my life is so cluttered and disorganized. Then I look around my desk and in my e-mail boxes and answer becomes clear. Therefore, I’m going to have to start some where and clear the clutter. Probably by my desk, since it is in the living room and if people come for a visit, they’re going to see the mess.

I’ve been considering the reason I get up so early of a morning. My normal rising time is about 4:00 am. For the past two or three weeks, I’ve been getting up between 2:00 and 3:30 am. Last night I went to bed at 10:30 pm and got up this morning at 4:30 am. The reason I’ve been getting up so early is now obvious, I’ve been going to bed too early. Instead of going to bed at 7:00 or 7:30 pm (What my grandmother would call with the chickens), I need to move my bedtime to 10:30 or 11:00 pm.
