Will the wonders never cease. I stumbled upon the missing Day 2 post when I noticed a way to view my drafts as I was creating this post. I searched for the draft option when I started the Day 2.5 post, but could not find the little bugger. I guess I'll know where to look next time. 😁

I would have posted this yesterday, but I woke up late and then when #LukeIsAlive reset on me (see below), I was too tired to start over. (I guess that is one of the drawbacks of putting all of these challenges in one post).

#IAmAliveChallenge #HiveIsAlive

I am alive and well on this Monday, even though my sleeping saga continues. After a day which included two naps for me yesterday, I was not able to get to sleep until after 3:00 AM last night (this morning). However, I didn't wake up until after 11:00 AM, so I actually slept more last night than any other night in the past week.

I am alive and well on this TUESDAY, even though my sleeping saga continues. I didn't get quite as much sleep as the night before last, but I was still able to get about six hours and I didn't have to nap yesterday.

Since I have been having so many problems trying to straighten out my sleep schedule recently that I will just sleep when I get tired for the next few days. With my late rise again today, who knows when I will get to bed tonight. Regardless, I hope this means I will be able to get at least a few days of restful sleep this week.

On a different note, my extended family normally gets together to spend each of the holidays together. However, with the current climate, they have once again decided to forgo getting together (we already skipped Mother's Day, Memorial Day, and Fathers Day). When your parents are in there eighties, it is better to just not to risk it. While I miss them, I would miss them even more if they were overcome by this disease. I guess we can always hope for Labor Day.

#LukeIsAlive

Well...I think I learned an important lesson about Luke last night. If you don't find him by 11:00 PM (CDT), you lose everything and have to start over. I could be wrong here and this was just a glitch in the system, but that is what happened to me.

Let's try this again, shall we? Here we go. Let's start here:

Woohoo! I made it through!

#MyHiveGoals

Once again, @flaxz has pointed out an area where I was not paying attention. The HIVE Power I had reported previously included what had been delegated to me from others. I will be reporting MY personal HIVE Power from here on out. Thanks for watching out for me, @flaxz.

Description	Goal	Current	% Complete
HIVE Power	1000	11.629	1.2%
CTP Power	10000	1402.235	14.0%
Followers	200	29	14.5%

#IAmEngaged

Before I get into the list of my engagements for today, let me ask you a question (a couple, actually). Are you documenting your life experiences and life lessons to pass down to your descendants (both now and when you are gone)? Have you asked any remaining living ancestors to tell you their stories so that you can document them and pass them along? These memories are priceless. Save them while you still can.

I have created a new @familyhistory account where I have started collecting these types of family stories and life lessons. I am working toward creating a new community for this topic. I would love to read your family history (stories and/or life lessons) and include them. If you are interested in this topic, follow @familyhistory (I will follow you back) so that I can share my progress on creating this new community and also the inspiring stories of others (I will be adding mine, as well).

OK...commercial is over. Here are my engagements for today:

@krystle - "Immortalising My Grandmother On The Blockchain - RIP Yvonne Kleinig 1933 - 2017" is a fantastic post telling the story of the author's grandmother and the impact she had on the author's life. WARNING - This one is rather lengthy and can suck you in. Be prepared to spend a bit of time reading it.

@rynow - "A Little Family History" is a wonderful illustration of how even a brief snippet can be a great addition to your family history.

@traciyork - "Flashback Friday Fotos - more photos from my mother's side of the family" shows how even just adding some family photographs can be another marvelous way to increase your family history library.

@oleg326756 - "MY FAMILY HISTORY, part 1" is the story of the authors grandparent and great-grandparents sharing family history in its truest form.

@ghcamry - "I Finished the CLB Mastery!" is where Rob shares of his successful completion of one stage of the CTP training.

I still haven't decided if I like the line separator (above) or a row of equal signs (===). If you see those reappear, you'll know I changed my mind.

Anyway, that's #IAmChallenged - Day #3 (previously scheduled for day 5, but actually posted on day 6 after losing Day #2 and posting Day #2.5 on day 3 in its place [I just had to include all of that to add to the confusion]).
