All work and no sleep makes Thistle a something-something...

[thistlechaser]

If I'm stressed out of my mind and can't sleep, I understand.

If I'm sick and can't sleep, I understand.

If I just drank a case of Diet Coke (with caffeine) and can't sleep, I understand.

But to not be able to sleep for no damned reason at all, that I can neither understand nor accept.

Listen up, stupid body and stupid brain: I cannot function on an hour of sleep. Cannot, cannot, cannot. I couldn't hardly walk this morning, and now I feel like crap. This is all your fault, do not think I will be blaming anyone else.

If there was the technology to take a person out of their body and make them live in a computer (Tron!), I'd so do that. I don't need a body, I just want my consciousness to float about on the Internet. (Spam! Sent directly into our "brains"!)

Forget about distance, I'm increasing my walking by time from now on. I hurt. The two days I've done it this way I've taken aspirin after I walked. That's probably a bad sign, but I don't care. Last night I decided (or realized) something: If I'm walking, I'm not eating! Thus I need to be able to walk the whole time I'm not sleeping. Just think! Burn calories and take none in! Sooner or later I'd just totally vanish! (Okay, that's not 100% serious... just mostly. Not about the vanishing part though.)

I recall watching some cooking show (Cooking Thin, I think?) and the host interviewed some guy who did just that: Every time he wanted to eat, he went and walked instead. All he did was work and walk, hours and hours of walking. That didn't really sound so bad to me. (The host didn't much like it though, saying he was trading one obsession for another.)

Okay, I just reread this post and it sounds really strange. Like obsessed or crazy or something. No worries, when/if I get more sleep, I'll probably start sounding less crazy.

Darned knee hurts, stupid knee. Nose keeps bleeding, too (unrelated to walking). Stupid summer is coming, welcome to nine months of nose bleeds!

Grump, grump.

Now that's a truly frightening thought. Eep. And yes, I can't believe you're even able to get out of bed after only one hour of sleep. I don't think that's even possible for me. Good luck with the walking though, but if it hurts you should take it easy for a bit. You don't want to start associating walking with pain. ._. Hope things are better for you tomorrow, after you get plenty of sleep tonight. That's an order. ^.~

Habit and training. When my alarm goes off, I get out of bed and stand up before I'm even awake, then I wake up standing up and turn my alarm off -- that way I can never just hit it and go back to sleep.

On the walking, I wanted to go up to seven days a week... but I'll probably not go tomorrow to give the ol' knee a little break.

Thanks, and I sure will try to sleep tonight! :)

Man, you sound like me... but at least you only rant on occasion as opposed to all the time.

....damn. I knew I'd catch Chia-cooties if I hung around you too much.

*hugs you* I envy you for all the walking. I generally don't go out walking because I don't want my cold to worsen. I do a lot of stairs though. I switch between my laptop downstairs (work,email,fan fiction and porn) and my computer upstairs (games). *g*

Thanks! And good for you doing a lot of stairs! Those are much harder than walking (I'd rather walk any day)!
