*poofs in and skulks around shadows* Well, I am fine, how about you? How's everyone today?

[Batty]

Tired, VERY TIRED.

Got only three fucking hours of sleep. And I've got major shit to do today.
-GLOMPS AND HUGS ALPHA-

[Alpha]

*is glomped and hugs back* Sorry to hear Batterz. I know running on little sleep sucks majorly....especially when you have important stuff to do.

Guess that's one thing that this summer taught me how to do....run on little to no sleep, and also to be more of a morning person.

[Batty]

You and I both! xD;

I wake up early, go to sleep late. But usually I'm runnin' on at least 5 hours.

[Alpha]

Damn....still, 5 hours isn't enough sleep, at least not for normal people. 6 hours should be the minimum amount of sleep, 7-8 being optimal. Most nights I got about 6 hours of sleep, but there were several with 3-4 hours.....those were not the best of days afterwards.

Do I need to pester you into getting more sleep? Or bug Zane to do it for me as well?

[Batty]

I never get that much, ever. xD; And last night, Zane was part of the reason I didn't sleep.

For some godsforsaken reason, I can exhaust my body to the point of breakage, but, when it comes to rest and sleep, and go to bed and repair the damage I put it through during the day, I wake up EVERY hour, on the hour, or every fourty five minutes, and then I just can't sleep. And then 9AM rolls around, and ... whats the point after that? xD;

[Alpha]

Oh wow......that's kinda bad. Definitely has to suck....had that happen several times this summer, even on the nights when I was supposed to get a "full" night's sleep....granted my wake-up was 430 (6AM on sundays). Once it hits a certain point though, you are right that it kinda defeats the purpose to keep on trying to sleep.

And in that case...*cracks knuckles* Do I need to remind Zane that you needs your sleeps?

[Batty]

Exactly. xD; I like to get all of what I need, done early. Or, as early as possible. At 9-10AM is the perfect time to do that. xD; And man, I can't imagine what it was like for you. YOU IS A TROOPER! <3

And bwahahaha! THAT WOULD BE MOST APPRECIATED! I know it sucks to get beat up by a girl, he'd never live that down. But if YOU did it... heeheehee..

[Alpha]

Eh, technically a Soldier, but yeah. 9-10 AM works great, especially when it comes to running errands and such since most people are at work by that time....though when it comes to running, a bit earlier like before the sun comes up works really good since it is still fairly cool and comfy (unless it's during the winter....brrrrr......). I typically had days from 430AM until 830PM....so let's see, that would be at the minimum 16 hour days, not including any duties that required extra time (like Fireguard, or even personal stuff like writing letters.)

And I will have a chat with him then, though I shall try my hardest to keep it civil as a gentleman it should be in my nature to do so.....though I'm not about a little bit of a reminder....(and weapons shall be kept out of it...).

[Batty]

-giggles-

Your day sounds like mine. Kind of. ish. <.<;;

I'd wake up, try and have some coffee. Get on my workout immediately, do that, go for a cooldown walk, come home, clean, get on the bike in 100 degree weather, run errands fora few hours for mom, since we dont have a car and she cant do them, come home, walk again, rest for about an hour and do whatever else needs done in the house, walk again, watch people eat dinner [since I'm STILL having an issue with that] walk again, workout again, and then maybe, FINALLY, sit down for a few hours, before I have to walk to go grab Zane his snacky stuff from the corner store and shower.

It used to be that I crammed ALL of that into a six hour time span, and at the end of the day all of that physical activity in the heat would wipe me out harder than you could ever possibly imagine. xD; Soo I started forcing myself to at least START early, so that maybe, just maybe, by the end of the day I wouldn't be so broken and fizzled out.

Nope. xD; Didn't work. But at least I get a little bit more rest between the insanity. Six walks, all between 40-60 minutes, two workouts that are about the same timeage, and gods knows how long on the bike. xD;

[Mal Kapwn]

Why don't you eat dinner, Battiness?

[Alpha]

I guess it kind of was...hadn't thought about that.

You need more breaks then! Or less working out....there is such as too much of a good thing. Maybe work a nap in there somewhere with the breaks? Might help some.....also, you are still having that problem?

[Batty]

Malcakes;; Very very long, depressing story. xD;

Alpha;; Unfortunately.. -sighs- I've been working at it, but, its a slow as shit process. baby steps turn into giant leaps back, and then forward again. I feel like a damned yoyo. xD; My brain hates me. ><

[Alpha]

*sighs* You need to keep at it though, a long process for sure, but one that needs to be done.

Well, maybe if things ever get to the point where I can visit my dad (he and I are actually on speaking terms now....it's weird and a bit of a long story) Tiva and I can drive down and visit you since he lives in the general area, still a few hours, but not bad (may be less, haven't checked lately).

[Batty]

Dude, that would be AMAZING! <3 I'm still in the Ft.Lauderdale area.

And yeaah, I know. Its just hard. I have the drive, I just to have to stop fighting with myself to actually apply it properly.

[Alpha]

That it would be...and just looked it up, would be roughly 4 hours from where my dad lives now, so within the realm of possibility. Just have to see how things work out though.

I'm sorry if I'm being a bit paternal right now.....but I kinda get like that sometimes....heh heh, just my inner dad kinda kicking in unfortunately.
