Since a friend (not here) asked if this meant I'd be able to "cure" my sleep disorder, I wanted to clarify that. The sunglasses won't fix this and then I'll just be okay. In order to keep the progress I've made, I'll have to wear them every single day, without fail, until I'm willing to go back to my natural schedule ( Read more... )

So the first few days of Doof didn't go so well. I woke up early but was still going to bed late. I knocked myself out with Gravol on the third night, and then there was about a week of fuckery, where either 1) I was out with friends twice until 3 AM, or 2) the kids were sick and keeping me awake ( Read more... )

I wore the Doof Glasses (aka my special blue-light-blocking sunglasses) from 4:30 PM yesterday until I went to sleep. I didn't fall asleep any earlier; it was between 2:30-3 AM, as usual. Also as usual, I woke up around 6:30 or so, was up for about an hour, then went back to sleep ( Read more... )

I'm so damn fed up with my sleeping disorder dictating my life. I'm angry that I would have gotten a job with a great company months ago, except that not being able to work mornings screwed it up. I'm resentful that I'm already dreading the week-long Scout Jamborees, since I know there's no way I can get up at 7 AM for more than one or two days at ( Read more... )

My college courses are over. I aced all four semesters. And now it's time to find a job ( Read more... )

I'm so damn tired all the time. I've been crashing a bit earlier than normal (2:30 AM rather than 3:30 AM) and am usually asleep by 3 rather than 4, but the kids still drag my sorry ass out of bed at 8 AM or so and then I'm a zombie, just holding on until I get to nap around 2 PM. I don't feel awake until after I've napped in the afternoon; prior ( Read more... )

I had something to say, and then I forgot it. Go me. All right, on to the everyday stuff.

GOING OUT: Tomorrow evening I'm going to catch a movie with outcast_spice, which will undoubtedly be fun (and huzzah for escaping the house to hang out with another adult ( Read more... )

Although technically I've been awake since roughly 5:30 AM. And I didn't even stumble into bed until 3 AM (because Connor, who is sick, was up until 3 AM, and he can't be left without supervision), and probably fell asleep around 3:30 AM ( Read more... )

I've got nothing. There's like 40+ windows open that I want to respond to and comment on and I just... can't. I don't have it in me right now. Am still reading and loving you all, though ( Read more... )

Do you know where _doesn’t_ have free wireless Internet? I totally do, and here it is: Sick Kids Hospital. See, I know this because right now as I'm typing this it’s 8:35 AM, and I’m typing this into a text editing program, because I can’t post it to the interbutts, because... yeah... I’m at Sick Kids! And there’s no free wireless!

( Cut for some length. This starts off with me talking about the visit and then veered into stream-of-consciousness rambling about all different things as I got more and more tired. You’ve been warned. )
