What's making you tired today?
 

First day of school, pm section is gonna be a doozie.

illness is kicking my butt today

Releasing built up, both self made and real stress. Now that I have worried myself stupid for 48 hours, everything is hours away from being all better! As I sit here, relaxing, I am finding it hard to even keep my eyes open. Perhaps I will go to bed early, and hope I can get a good nights sleep tonight!

fuckin roof

Staying up late at night posting on the cellar, of course.

I don't know yet I just woke up

That sounds painful.

my life

my thoughts - which are mostly negative this morning. I HATE THAT.

I've been alone for so long now that I'm having trouble talking to people - can't communicate. Words fail me. FAIL ME.

What are you trying to say? Just spit it out

Had to get up at 5am for a 7:30 meeting. For a programmer, that's sacrilege.

not tired yet, but I didn't go to bed until 2 and got up at 6 so it will come, I'm sure.....

Not only have I just returned from vacation, I awoke on Wednesday to an email from the nuthouse asking if I could work until 4am. Did so with the help of extra-dark coffee (thank you Wolfgang Puck). Some moron called my house phone and then hung up early yesterday morning. Still trying to reset sleeping schedule from vacation, plus the 4am shiftiness, and early morning awakening, might be rested by sometime mid-next week, except that I'm going to have to be awake early on Sunday to go to the Renfaire.

The pm class: I broke out a schedule change that worked like gangbusters creating more a more structured situation. We had to hustle through the end of the day but got done right at 4 and zipped outside... and the bus was 20 minutes late sending the youts right over the moon.

I was right....

I'm going on a 25-mile bike ride in Philadelphia tomorrow. I have to be at the Art Museum by 7 AM to register.

I know that's tomorrow--but just thinking about it is making me tired today.

The idea that I have to be at work at 8.30 a.m. on a Sunday morning, relatively well turned out and pleasant to deal with interview candidates (i.e. I have to be pleasant to people I'm interviewing) and we've got a new format, so guess I'd better familiarise myself with that too before I go to bed. Two weeks til holidays though. :)

Think of the adrenalin rush once you actually get started. What's the course like? Many hills? Family thing or a lycra-clad thing?

12km fun run here next Sunday. I nearly registered for the 6km late start, but then decided not to be pathetic.

It was mostly flat, with some hills here and there. It wasn't (IMO) quite as good for "all levels" as advertised, but there were no serious problems. Really the biggest challenge was the fact that I had never ridden more than 5 miles at once.

I also overslept and didn't make it out as early as I had wanted.... I assumed I could just kind of keep up with the slow part of the pack, but everybody was so spread out, and there were so many people out riding on their own, that it was hard to do that. But I made it through, and I learned several things and picked up a shopping list that will make next time better.

I finished in 4 hours, including stops (including several to orient myself with the cue sheet).

Excerllent. I need/want to ride more. I had toyed with the idea of doing a 10-miler today just to see if I could, but then it rained, and I'm not that into it.

What's making me tired today is the night before catching up with me at last.

Tramping over half the world taking pictures for Treasure Hunt 13.

How do your, uh, contact points feel?

Just came back from vacation to find an email asking me (which is a polite way of saying I was told) to work until 4am on Wednesday overnight because of a call out. Even though I got my "regular" amount of sleep afterwards, my ass is dragging. I'm trying to be indolent enough over the weekend to make up for this.

I like that word "indolent"

It goes well in many situations, such as a phrase like "indolent, but not feckless"

For fishermen, it's a way of life !

CHAFED!!! (But not badly.)
One of the things on my list before next time is a pair of real bicycling shorts. Another is a cheap bike computer, so I can keep track of distance between points.

Mudflaps might have helped, today. :haha:

How much longer than 5 miles was it?

What tips?

I got a cheap bike computer for like a buck off ebay -shipped from china. Actually I got 5. they do a great job. You've inspired me so I'm thinking of trying to do a 10-mile ride this morning... beest showed me how to set the tripometer "in case I wanted to use it" -I think he just won't believe i really did it unless he sees evidence! :lol:

25 miles long.

Real bike shorts (see Chafing above)

Bike computer/odometer (I have a GPS in my phone but it's such a battery hog I don't feel comfortable leaving it on. I left everything off except the actual phone function, and turned on the GPS and mobile data--needed to load the maps from Google Maps--when I stopped for a progress check.)

New helmet--one that has a visor, and is some color other than solid black. (It was a sunny day.)

Also consider a Camelbak backpack water supply. I had 2 water bottles along, one on the frame and one stashed in a back shirt pocket, but I really couldn't drink without a full stop.

Stayed up til 4am Saturday night reading the first Hunger Games book in one sitting. Quite good, but I'm feeling it today.

Hayfever. Worst day so far this year. Many pills. Head thick like brick.

ETA: Kinda buzzy when I think on it...

Werk Werk werk !!!!

Still awake (should be tired).

Got hit with a cold/flu full on today, no warning or anything. Woke up with a sore throat, KLLER headache, muscle pain and an alternating stuffy/nunning nose. I made it to work, did the inventory counts, and had someone come in for me at 10. I slept on and off all day. I am still tired! I want to stay awake for a bit now, and then nyQuil myself so I can sleep tonight. I do not have the luxury of calling in sick tomorrow.

Well I thought it was going to bed stupidly late after too much beer and too little food last night. But it turns out I just needed to replace my contact lens. Wish I'd worked that out earlier in the day.

Take care Jaydaan. ( @ lol ^)

I spent 5 hours in the ER with my mom who had a mysterious bruised foot and didn't remember how she got it. She was let to believe it could be a diabetes condition by her doctor so they told her to go check it out. The doctor told her it wasn't the new tennis shoes I bought her she would have had to hurt it. Finally, while waiting for x rays she remembered she dropped a bottle of shampoo on her foot. At least we can be assured she will retain a foot because she is having hip replacement surgery in three weeks.
She does retain her humor with outside people. That's a good thing.

Going to bed late and getting up early. I don't have the sense I was born with.

I hope all goes well for your mom & her surgery, Sky.

Thank you. Much appreciated.
