In my large amount of time spent on 43 Things I came across one of the Robots of 43 Things, Eric Benson, now known as Buster McLeod following a recent name change. Anyway, he has developed the Morale-O-Meter. A way of keeping track of daily influences on morale and general well-being: morale, health, sleep and alcohol and caffeine intake. You can also add daily notes. Doing this for a few days or weeks will give you something that looks like this:
I'm still trying to work out exactly for which day I'm counting sleep. I figure counting it for the previous night would make more sense as that would have the greatest effect on the current day's morale. However, at the same time, the events of the day could effect that night's sleep.
In any case, we'll see where this goes and what this reveals to me. I've only been doing this for a few weeks and have missed some days in between. So, my current chart can't be very representative.

I walked out the door
2000 miles apart
I was coming home to you
The ground was still wet
From the leaves, drops fell on my head
I thought of you
You thought of me instead
Waiting for the rain
to bring us back together again
Waiting for the rain
to find you in our bed
Waiting for the rain
We’d talk for hours
without ever speaking a word
We felt eachother’s touch
without ever using our hands
Waiting for the rain
to bring us back together again
Waiting for the rain
to find you in our bed
Waiting for the rain
You call me
You want something
Yes, I fucked up
But why can’t we work this out
There is a solution
It doesn’t have to be so hard
What’s the word
The missing words
Why can’t we understand
I’m too tired.
You say something
You hang up
I slam the phone down
So much for communicatoin
It wasn’t going anywhere anyway
What’s the key
The missing key
Why won’t it fit
I can’t hold it anymore
Another call
Public knowledge
I just don’t care
Go fuck yourself
Leave like always
To fix what you couldn’t say
What’s it worth
The missing value
It’s not worth it
I have to leave
