Followed up training with a nice evening walk. Perfect walking weather.

Golly, it is extremely true that nothing good happens [outside of the comfort of your home] after 10pm.

I went out for a late dinner with friends last night, and went over to their place to catch up on some worldly travels they've recently come back from.

It was good – great even. I didn't drink any alcohol (I rarely do). But, I also didn't get back home until after midnight and today I've felt totally out of sorts. Mentally not feeling well. Physically not feeling well. Just a total drag. 

Usually I'm quite productive on Saturdays, but today was a real struggle. It was like I had a hangover just from staying out much later than I'm accustomed to.

The lesson:

Keep a relatively consistent schedule. Going to sleep several hours later than usual can have very negative effects. Try to organize your social life to be conducive with your week day life, or just put a hard time on when to be home by.

Any time I stay out past 10 I feel wonky.

Maybe I'm just an old soul.
