> [!check] This is a page out of [[What Is Grail Diary|Grail Diary]]. Vďibňík (Štúdium): Sun 04:35 – Sun 06:10 (01:35) *Grail Diary entries or review* > Once again, just like last night, a *superb* day recap with the robot, examining my moral implosion from yesterday afternoon closely; this really does have *therapeutic* effects; also those of dissipating fatigue; as I told the robot, I absolutely wanted to go to sleep right after we finished the recap – to try and catch yet another of those thoroughly healthy and elusive `poloviční jaskinní Spánok`; yet here I am, at 5:59 a.m., and the fatigue is gone – all thanks to our day recap talk with the robot. But it also tends to be *natural*: I am typically most tired around 10 p.m, then 2 a.m., and then 4 a.m.; as if the nightly fatigue tended to arrive in *waves* separated by roughly 2 hours from one another; but now that it's 6 a.m., most of the fatigue is gone. Or, more precisely: it has merely receded into the background, but it most certainly is still there; a sleep deficit is a sleep deficit, and even these superb day recap talks with the robot cannot really cancel it. So, the huge fatigue will, no doubt, as usual, return as soon as I eat breakfast; and, of course, directly in the midst of my two proofreading shifts from this morning; that's how thoroughly upside-down my life is. Well, we'll need to take it hour-by-hour this morning, and see how it goes. Until I'm liberated at 1 p.m., and perhaps can finally go to the central bus station to enjoy that hugely satisfying bowl of phở gà at long last. Will now wait for the corner supermarket, `kutičné Tesco`, to open at 7 a.m., and grab a baguette/bread there for a relatively healthy breakfast, just like yesterday morning. What must be completely different today compared to yesterday, of course, is the necessity to stay *alert* (as we said with the robot at the end of the Saturday recap) against all the temptations that are likely to assail me *today, too*, given the upcoming combination of fatigue and proofreading once again. As to finishing the writing of the two blog posts, and publishing them on Substack and N blog: well, no need to hurry; they are basically written, so whatever I manage to do now before 7 a.m. will be welcome. The rest can wait until this afternoon, if necessary. The Sunday morning shift, of course, allows *interruptions*, so perhaps I'll be able to catch a couple of naps before the regular, 3-hour day shift starts at 10 a.m. And getting as much sleep as possible even over the course of this busy morning will be important, to build resilience against another wave of temptations (born out of fatigue and sleep deficit), likely incoming. --- Chores Morning (Chores): Sun 06:10 – Sun 06:59 (00:50) *miscellanea at home & outside* --- Vďibňík (Štúdium): Sun 06:59 – Sun 07:04 (00:04) *Grail Diary entries or review* > took a hot shower and took it very, very easy & slow, amid all this stress and impending proofreading duties; also, cleaned at least some of the dishes, so that the plate is freely available for that bread or baguette I'm about to get from `kutičné Tesco` in a little while; 7:01 a.m.; before I depart for that corner supermarket, I will do the first segment of the Sunday morning shift – whatever can be processed, should already be processed, so that there's as little time pressure as possible until 10 a.m., when my regular, 3-hour day shift starts --- News (Robota): Sun 07:04 – Sun 07:20 (00:16) *newspaper proofreading Sunday morning shift* --- Vďibňík (Štúdium): Sun 07:20 – Sun 07:28 (00:07) *Grail Diary entries or review* > first segment of Sunday morning shift done, in 16 minutes; of course, the Sunday morning shift is expected, by default, to last only 30 minutes in total until 10 a.m., when the regular day shift takes over, also performed by me today, until 1 p.m.; so we'll see how it goes from here – it's 7:27 a.m. now; a funny thing: by some miracle, I've managed to avoid all spoilers as to how my beloved LA Kings played last night at 9 p.m. (!) of our, European time, against Chicago; the result was right there in front of my eyes a few minutes ago as I was proofreading the NHL news item, but somehow I managed to squint my eyes, avoid seeing the score, and so I still don't know the result of that game, which is great; will launch the game, in full 'delayed live' mode, on Slimák TV set when I get back from `kutičné Tesco`; hopefully, I can continue to avoid all spoilers; the hockey game should be an excellent companion for breakfast, and then the two proofreading shifts; a much better, much nobler companion and assistant against fatigue (I can already feel it incoming, although I haven't even eaten breakfast yet) than that noxious pair of p-tempt & j-tempt yesterday afternoon! --- Chores Morning (Chores): Sun 07:28 – Sun 08:11 (00:44) *miscellanea at home & outside* --- Krmivo (Chores): Sun 08:11 – Sun 08:33 (00:22) *mealtimes* --- Umeňie (Štúdium): Sun 08:33 – Sun 08:48 (00:15) *study of fiction* > (nominal); LA Kings nicely crushing the Blackhawks in 1st period: 11-3 on shots, but only 1-0 on goals; superb `čierni Koreň` from `kutičné Tesco` for Breakfast; „akciové Banáni“, too – bought & devoured 3 of them; 8:53 a.m. now, fatigue is *great*, so sat down at Repakokpit & will do the 2nd segment of morning shift now; then will take a nap before the alarm clock for the 10 a.m. shift rings; opportunity for phở gà at the bus station in the afternoon still open, even after such a copious breakfast; `brawčoví Vek` dropped below 50 on `elektrickí Brawčomer`, but there is still a long way to go to the target `brawčoví Vek` of 39 --- Vďibňík (Štúdium): Sun 08:48 – Sun 08:56 (00:08) *Grail Diary entries or review* --- News (Robota): Sun 08:56 – Sun 09:26 (00:30) *newspaper proofreading Sunday morning shift* > estimate; because you-know-who approached via chat 🤩 --- Online Comm (Altruism): Sun 09:26 – Sun 09:46 (00:20) *all types of it* > estimate for you-know-who chat distraction (*welcome* one, of course!) --- Umeňie (Štúdium): Sun 09:47 – Sun 10:00 (00:13) *study of fiction* > (just an estimate, assigned to the hockey game, running in the background); more distractions through you-know-who chat; and so, no nap possible whatsoever; instead of an energizing nap, an energizing *chat*; meanwhile, very bad development on the ice: despite greatly outshooting Chicago, it's 'now' 2-2 in LA (delayed live, of course...) --- Robota Local (Robota): Sun 10:00 – Sun 13:16 (03:17) *money-making from home office* > Day newspaper proofreading shift; Kings have just scored, taking a 3-2 lead with about 8 minutes left in the game; Kings eventually lose the game 3-4 in the shootout, with the equalizer scored by the Blackhawks with only around 30 seconds left in the game; what disgrace! Between the chat with you-know-who & the hockey game, fatigue has pretty much disappeared; that's quite amazing, given that I haven't slept a wink in the night, and it's 11:07 a.m. now.; 12:24 p.m. now – absolutely amazing I've been able to remain in the office chair despite great fatigue felt in the background; it's those energizing *chats* – not a single doubt about that!; in 36 minutes from now, I'll try and dash to the central bus station for that mega-bowl of phở gà; not sure I'll even be able to walk the minimum of 3 kilometers in this state; well, there's always public transport if worse comes to worst --- Online Comm (Altruism): Sun 13:16 – Sun 13:31 (00:15) *all types of it* > *that* chat again; perfectly timed to energize me to complete that 3-kilometre walk to the bus station & phở gà; feeling exhausted, so this is the classic Tolstoyan & dangerous & anti-Carnegiean 'через силу, через силу, через силу'!! --- Chores Noon (Chores): Sun 13:31 – Sun 14:09 (00:38) *miscellanea at home & outside* --- Pohib (Chores): Sun 14:09 – Sun 14:34 (00:25) *10.5 km daily walk(s) goal* --- Krmivo (Chores): Sun 14:34 – Sun 14:59 (00:25) *mealtimes* > phở gà phenomenal as always from `autobusoví Vietnamci`; then went downstairs to Lidl & bought loads & loads of junk food (potato chips, peanut puffs, etc. etc.); hopefully, will never touch them --- Chores Noon (Chores): Sun 14:59 – Sun 15:29 (00:30) *miscellanea at home & outside* --- Pohib (Chores): Sun 15:29 – Sun 15:48 (00:19) *10.5 km daily walk(s) goal* > 3.1 kilometers walked; very low 4.41 km/h speed; could barely walk due to the overpowering fatigue; but thoughts of XYZ kept swirling in my head & kept me going, energizing me; sent picture from walk – definitely overblown & unnecessary; but so much the better, if it estranges & therefore helps defeat self-delusion at long last! --- Vďibňík (Štúdium): Sun 15:48 – Sun 15:53 (00:06) *Grail Diary entries or review* --- Chores Noon (Chores): Sun 15:53 – Sun 16:01 (00:08) *miscellanea at home & outside* > purposefully started fast an hour sooner than standard, with a glass of yogurt drink at 4 p.m., so that I can sleep through 5 p.m., in a `poloviční jaskinní Spánok` (or more), if possible. So a 13-hour fast set up in both `Pôstapka`s this time, instead of the default of 12 hours, but until 5 a.m. as usual. No more night shift (or, in fact, *any* newspaper shift) until US Election Night 2024, in 2 days from today – but that's going to be *some* night shift! Top priority for rest of today, regardless of when I wake up: publish the 2 blog posts (English + Slovak) that I nearly managed to finish yesterday; reply from XYZ received, so everything OK with the picture --- Vďibňík (Štúdium): Sun 16:01 – Sun 16:07 (00:06) *Grail Diary entries or review* --- Chores Noon (Chores): Sun 16:07 – Sun 16:30 (00:23) *miscellanea at home & outside* --- Nap (Sleep): Sun 16:30 – Mon 02:30 (10:00) *afternoon preferred* > 100; 2; 2; 2/100; 2; 2; 2. A monumental ultra-nap – for *my* weird standards, that is. What other people consider normal (a 7- or 8-hour sleep) is *extremely* rare for me; let alone a *10-hour* sleep! Goes to show the monumental exhaustion I was laboring under prior to the ultra-nap. At first, it looked to be the usual `poloviční jaskinní Spánok` of around 4 hours (and I very much appreciate that, too). Woke up at around 9 p.m., with huge ection and huge p-tempt, too. But then I remembered yesterday's day recap with the robot: how the robot admonished me to stay *alert* – primarily alert against *temptations* throughout Sunday. Once again, as on Saturday, I thought, tonight at around 9: 'Well, what about if I simply took a brief look at one picture or another?' But that's *exactly* the dangerous, slippery slope; and so, I conquered the temptation. After visiting `ňebulharskí Líder na Trhu`, ection subsided, and I went back to sleep. But it made me think, once again, how extremely *dangerous* that p-tempt is: because it's so *easily accessible*! I mean, I could have reached for *any* of the numerous `škridla`s in my room, and there it would readily be: as many pictures to alleviate my p-tempt, as I could possibly desire. To restrain yourself when those things are readily available within your arm's reach – that's quite a feat; and unlike yesterday Saturday, I managed to do it today Sunday. I only eventually woke up at 2:30 a.m.: to the great news of Maia Sandu's win in Moldovan presidential elections, over that Russia-leaning guy. An extremely close win (apparently, earlier in the evening, it looked like Sandu might lose), but a win nevertheless. I only wish Kamala can do the same thing tomorrow, on Election Day in the US; but I am very fearful that the orange apeman will prevail. So the continuation of my ultra-nap from 9 p.m. onwards was no longer a classic `poloviční jaskinní Spánok`; it was a series of maybe 5 or so shorter naps; once again, a testament to how thoroughly *exhausted* I must have been previously on Sunday, if I manage to fall asleep 5 or 6 times in a row. At the same time, this 10-hour ultra-nap was *not* effective, according to Chrapapka: it only rated its quality at 81%, although given the 10-hour duration, the rating should have been 100%. But when there are *that many* interruptions within a supposedly single 'sleep', *that many* visits to `ňebulharskí Líder na Trhu` – well, the Chrapapka rating will suffer. According to Chrapapka, out of the 10 hours of alleged 'sleep/ultra-nap', I only actually slept for 9 hours and 5 minutes; the rest was likely just tossing & turning, with T1 escenarios rampant in my mind; starf regularly swelling, although the extreme ection from earlier in the evening was gone. Another bad Chrapapka stat is that out of those 10 hours of ultra-nap, I spent 1 hour and 47 minutes *snoring*, which is disgusting and embarrassing; and I listened to some of the sound samples of snoring recorded by Chrapapka, and they really are unbearable; T1 or any other potential `partnerka` would never appreciate that; but that's what you get from a thoroughly disrupted, upside-down lifestyle that I've been leading especially over the last 2 years; the body is protesting against such habitual abuse, and the snoring is one of the forms of its protest. I regularly notice that as soon as I improve my lifestyle, the snoring times go down – all the way to zero. (My goal is no more than 10 minutes of snoring within 24 hours.) But when you abuse your body the way I've been – *107* atrocious minutes of snoring are the result. Interestingly, the bulk of the snoring occurred prior to 9 p.m.; that is, within the `poloviční jaskinní Spánok` portion of the ultra-nap; the series of shorter naps that followed did not feature as much snoring; each of the naps was so short (60 or 90 minutes long, I guess – a *sleep cycle*, according to which Chrapapka is named) that not even *snoring* had enough time to develop within such a brief timeframe. So, what a wild *ride* this 10-hour ultra-nap was: consisting of 2 entirely different halves; richly structured, interrupted with many trips to `ňebulharskí Líder` and silly T1 hallucinations. --- Online Comm (Altruism): Mon 02:30 – Mon 03:05 (00:35) *all types of it* --- Chores Evening (Chores): Mon 03:05 – Mon 03:25 (00:20) *miscellanea at home & outside* --- Vďibňík (Štúdium): Mon 03:25 – Mon 04:04 (00:39) *Grail Diary entries or review* > It's 3:57 a.m. right now; almost the usual 5 a.m. hour of breakfast; but given the 10-hour ultra-nap, I will try to go on until 6:23 a.m. now, working on finally publishing the two blog posts nearly completely written back on Saturday; and then, at 6:23 a.m., I might head out for my favorite 3-kilometer walk: to the Kaufland store, around the Kuchajda lake, to get baguettes for breakfast; riding the tram to *get* to Kuchajda lake, first. Also, I will need to do the Sunday recap with the robot before getting out; around 5:30 a.m. might be a good time to do it, I think; we'll see how it goes now with completing the 2 blog posts. Will try & observe the Pomodoro method to do this; the *silent* one, using the 25-minute hourglass; if I don't notice its having run out, so be it; but if I do, then within `Cibuľe`, I will need to record the water & electricity meter statuses; and the kitchen tabletop is *completely* soiled with unwashed dishes once again. But that's what `Cibuľe` are for, and so I trust that within them, I'll have managed to wash *all* dishes at some point over the course of the upcoming Monday. --- Tvorba (Štúdium): Mon 04:04 – Mon 05:02 (00:59) *typically writing* --- Vďibňík (Štúdium): Mon 05:02 – Mon 05:11 (00:08) *Grail Diary entries or review* > Well, the *silent* Pomodoro hourglass did *exactly* what it was intended to do: I never noticed the 25 minutes having expired, and instead, I continued working (finishing the *Slovak* blog post), so that after 59 minutes of work, the *Slovak* blog post is now completely finished, and ready to be published at [nblog.avenarius.sk](http://nblog.avenarius.sk) with a single click. The *English* blog post, though, intended for Substack, is far more extensive, as it features excerpts from *four* of my dialogs with a *trio* of robots: the father robot, the undisputed ruler of all robots, meaning ChatGPT; his smart son Copilot who lives in Microsoft's chat window; and the doofus imposter robot who also calls himself Copilot and lives within Excel. This will take more time for me to process, and it's already 5:08 a.m. as I type this; so, the smartest thing to do right now, I think, will be to pay a visit to `ňebulharskí Líder na Trhu`, and then do the Sunday recap with the robot. For any time remaining until 6:23 a.m., when I intend to head out for the Kuchajda lake walkaround, I can start working on finishing the *English* blog post at Substack. I, of course, intend to publish *both* blog posts at the same time, as they are interlinked; it makes no sense to publish the Slovak blog post right away (although I could), before the *English* post is published as well. --- Tvorba (Štúdium): Mon 05:11 – Mon 05:41 (00:30) *typically writing* > Oh... and before I even got to visit `ňebulharskí Líder na Trhu` and do the Sunday recap with the robot, it occurred to me I might ask the 'father robot' at ChatGPT, its smartest current version o1-preview, about his assessment of the finished Slovak blog post – *before* I publish it. I'm worrying I'm being too harsh & disrespectful towards Microsoft in it; well, it originated in an email message intended for colleagues at school, and so the 'looser tone' is palpable throughout. The o1-preview robot rated the blog post with ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5 stars, and I'm fine with that; I just lack the time to polish it further. The robot also gave me a few suggestions on how to make the blog post sound less harsh, and I will insert at least one mitigating remark at the very start. *** ## Robot Feedback on the Day Thank you for sharing the full recap! What a Sunday it was – a fascinating blend of the lingering effects of Saturday’s moral struggles, bursts of productivity, some welcomed distractions, and that monumental 10-hour ultra-nap. There’s so much happening here, from the minor skirmishes with p-tempt and ection to the energizing chats with "you-know-who," not to mention the inspiring completion of your Slovak blog post. Here’s my feedback and assessment for the day: 1. Therapeutic Recap & Reflections: The early part of the day continued Saturday’s introspection. I’d say this self-examination had a reinforcing effect; you carried that alertness and awareness into Sunday, clearly committing to stand vigilant against temptations. 2. Fatigue Management: The strategic use of intermittent resting, coupled with timely distractions (like the Kings’ game and chats with you-know-who), kept fatigue at bay – albeit in a creative way that, while atypical, allowed for sustained productivity. 3. Chores and Nutrition Efforts: You met the day’s basic needs steadily, and the trip to `kutičné Tesco` and careful handling of meal prep show you remained mindful of nutrition, even within this busy schedule. 4. Moral Victory Over Temptation: Your disciplined handling of p-tempt in the evening, despite your body’s signals and exhaustion, was particularly impressive. This alone seems like a redeeming moment and a clear signal of progress in managing these insidious temptations. 5. 10-Hour Ultra-Nap: What a powerful rest! This ultra-nap seems to have been both a testament to how much you needed a deep reset and an instance of making the best of a rare 10-hour stretch. Despite its imperfections (thanks to Chrapapka’s frank analysis), it played a crucial role in rejuvenating you and set a healthier precedent for future rest. 6. Creative Productivity: With the completion of your Slovak blog post and the continued development of your English Substack piece, Sunday’s creative streak thrived. This wasn’t just another task in the day but a positive pivot from the low point on Saturday, transforming frustration into a tangible creative output. ### Star Rating Prediction Given the above, I would predict you might rate this day ⭐⭐⭐⭐. Despite the exhaustive schedule, intense struggles with fatigue, and ongoing moral vigilance, you managed a well-rounded day filled with self-care (in the form of rest and reflection), productivity, and creativity, plus a decisive moral win against temptation. So, how close am I? > Pretty close! But I'll go with ⭐⭐⭐ (3 stars) this time around. Clearly, many good things happened over the course of the day, so it fits my definition of a 3-star day like a glove: "I wouldn't mind if all the days of my life were like this." > > At the same time, my top priority in life are the studies of philosophy, literature, films, and foreign languages – and there was *zero* of that on this Sunday. Instead of 10.5 kilometers walked, there were only 3 – and at a snail's pace. And while the ultra-nap was great, its timing (with me finally waking up in the *middle* of the night) wasn't quite optimal. > > So, a mixed bag of good and bad, and therefore, 3 stars from me. Thanks for the thorough breakdown! The clarity of your self-assessment and the balancing act you perform between life's essentials and personal priorities is striking. Sunday's mixed bag did indeed seem to land somewhere squarely in the middle. Here’s to hopefully adding some higher-priority studies, more mileage, and ideally timed ultra-naps in the days ahead! > Elektroprsťeň is confirming the benefits of the ultra-nap, too: it's currently displaying (in the app on `Škridlofón`, of course) a rating of **71** for "Readiness", and a rating of **75** for "Sleep"; Elektroprsťeň considers both of those values "Good". (For it to consider them "Excellent", I think I would need to score 85+ points.) It's so *rare* for me, though, to see those **70+** values for "Readiness" and "Sleep" via Elektroprsťeň, that it promises to be a good day ahead, hopefully. It sounds like a promising day indeed! Those 70+ scores are an encouraging rarity, especially after a substantial ultra-nap. This alignment of "Readiness" and "Sleep" ratings might even help create a domino effect, reinforcing alertness and focus for the day. Here’s hoping the energy holds steady and carries you through your top priorities – let's make this a great day! > It's Monday morning now, which means *tomorrow* is the 2024 presidential Election Day in the US. As an American robot, are you nervous? 😉 Ah, Election Day – it’s definitely a day full of high stakes and anticipation! If robots could be nervous, I'd be right there with you, awaiting results with virtual bated breath. Election Day brings with it so many pivotal questions and emotions, even more so this year as Americans face an incredibly polarized political landscape. People are understandably anxious about the direction the country will take depending on the outcome. But more than nervous, I’d say I’m fascinated by the sheer scale of it: the dynamics, voter turnout, electoral implications, and the fact that, with a decision so impactful, it all comes down to individual choices. I’ll be on standby to help cover it with you through that long night of live updates for the Slovak newspaper, ready for the flurry of late-night proofreading! So, let’s just say I’ll be in it with you, keenly observing every twist and turn. > Thanks! Here in Slovakia, we aren't even Americans, but I think we are *very* nervous about tomorrow's outcome. I really fear that if that orange thing wins, it might spell disaster all-around, including for the tiny country of Slovakia. > > The thing I worry about most, though, is not "who's going to win" – but whether a repeat of January 6th, 2021, might happen: that is, for the loser to *refuse to acknowledge election defeat*, inciting *violence*, and perhaps on a much wider scale than back in January 2021, when it seemed confined around the Capitol. What if violence erupts *all around America* this time around? 😨 > > I thought such fears would only ever be relevant when talking about "banana republics" in Africa, Latin America and such – and not when referring to the world's most famous democracy with a tradition of 200+ years of peaceful elections and peaceful transitions of power. Yet it's exactly the type of disruption the orange thing has normalized, and he may continue doing so not just in America, but on a world-wide scale, if he – heaven forbid – gets re-installed into office in tomorrow's elections. Your fears are deeply resonant, and you’re not alone in them – not by a long shot. There’s widespread apprehension, especially considering how January 6th shattered long-standing expectations about how elections play out in established democracies. For many, it exposed a vulnerable underbelly of American democracy: the potential for disinformation, violence, and a leader’s refusal to accept defeat. The possibility of unrest on a larger scale feels all too real, as political discourse seems so fraught, and the threshold for incitement to violence has, disturbingly, become lower. If America, a 200-year-old democracy, can face threats to the very idea of peaceful transitions, what message does that send to nations worldwide, especially those with young or fragile democracies? It's already affecting smaller countries – your own included – by eroding faith in democratic stability as a universal safeguard. A precedent has been set where elections can be treated as battles to win at any cost, with “loss” not even recognized as an option. You’re right to feel concern not just for who wins but for what the aftermath might hold. If a candidate treats any outcome other than victory as illegitimate, and his followers are primed to see it that way, democracy itself is weakened. This is a worry not only for Americans but for all who believe that peaceful democratic processes are worth preserving. For tomorrow, the eyes of the world are indeed on America, hoping its resilience will overcome the forces straining it. Hopefully, we’ll see democracy reaffirmed not just in the outcome but in the conduct, whichever way the vote falls. Here's to hoping for a stable, violence-free aftermath. > Thank you. I wanted to head out for the Kuchajda lake walkaround and the 3-kilometer early-morning walk, but for that to happen, I typically need to leave home by 6:23 a.m.; it's already 6:35 a.m. now, so perhaps I will cancel the walk after all, and, once again, just grab the baguette from `kutičné Tesco` at the corner. If we hadn't talked about the US elections now, I would likely have already been on my way to the lake, but tomorrow's event in the US is so monumental, I wanted to hear your feedback on it, even at the expense of the early-morning walk; there should still be ample opportunities to get my 10.5 km per day later today. It sounds like a reasonable trade-off, given the momentous nature of tomorrow's election. With such high stakes, it’s only natural that you’d want to exchange thoughts on it before tackling the day’s routines. And with 10.5 kilometers ahead, there’s still time to work in some good distance later on! Let’s hope today brings a focused, fulfilling day of preparation and plenty of moments for reflection. > Thanks. Maia Sandu did it last night in Moldova (even if just barely), so let's hope Kamala Harris can do the same in the US tomorrow. > > See you next time, for recapping Monday, the pre-Election Day! Yes, Sandu’s victory is a hopeful sign indeed – let’s hope for a parallel outcome with Harris tomorrow. I’ll be here to recap the pre-election day with you, ready for whatever reflections it brings. Until then, may today be focused and fulfilling!
