Tired

As I mentioned, I am rotating my schedule around right now. I would normally be going to bed right now, but I have to keep myself up and going for about 8 more hours… I am tired already. I am going to try and read about 15-20 pages of Philosophy, then play on my computer for a little while. I am still a little behind on my class, but gaining on it pretty fast. I slacked in the gym tonight. I went way to soon after my meal and my stomach was to full to do any real exercising. i rode the bike for a little while at a slow pace. Hey, at least it was something.

Tomorrow will be a very busy day. I am looking forward to it. ~~K

Around the world in a day

So… from my posting on the far side of the planet I write..

I am bored…. I’m thinking I am going to go get myself a Latte, then change and hit the gym. Yesterday I surprised myself with 4.2 miles in 25 minutes on the eliptical. At the altitude I am working at, going hard, fast at first is usually a challenge. I think I am going to ride the bike today. I don’t do much outside of cardio. You know, gotta keep those calories burning off.

I don’t suspect I will be here much longer then 15-20 more days, but I haven’t found myself a ride home yet. I will begin working on it in another week or so.

I had some weird dreams last night. I struggle now to recall them, but they disturbed my sleep. I have found through years of deployments that my body doesn’t work on a 24 hour clock. It’s closer to 32 hours, 24 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep. Sleep is a precious commodity that I treasure and good sleep doesn’t come often for me. I have already slept during the day, night and inbetween during my short stay here. Coffee time! Have a wonderful Wednesday, mine is almost over…. ~~K

My argument with sleep

I don’t quite know what it is about sleep that just pisses my body off. There are few nights that I actually get a good nights sleep. Actaully I did get some good sleep when “she” was here, but other then that it has been years. Most nights I’m awake tossing and turning all night. I know a lot of it has to do with the amount of self induced stress applied to my body on a daily basis by my stupid brain. I just want a little switch hidden somewhere on my body that I can flip and make myself an ordinary dumbass for 8 hours a day. It’s 335am right now. I have been awake for a solid 15 minutes, but i have woke up for a few seconds about 5 or 6 times in the 3 hours I have been in the bed with the lights off trying to rest. Now I have my alarm set for in the morning at 8 am so I know its not that I am oversleeping in the mornings. I know you guys are going to comment about why i have an alarm set on the weekend. I get up at 5am everyday of the work week. If I let myself sleep till 11am on Sunday it will make falling asleep on Sunday night even more difficult. Then when 5am comes around I will feel like smacked ass and it’s only the first day of what sometimes turns into a hellish work week. I need sleep people!!!
