Morning, DiC! Just popping in before I head off for afternoon tea. Or, as I like to call it, breakfast.

yeah, i know you do ... but dont. honestly time is your stories best friend .. time will make it easier to edit... finish it .. then edit it.   it's something i learned the hard way. 

What tim said. When I've finished Storms, I'm never doing that again, ever. One thing is the possibility that I may abandon it, but then there is the fact that I'm retconing left, right, and centre now because the story is becoming full of inconsistencies. It's hard to keep up with 80k words of story prior to now, and when I reread sections I go, shit, I forgot about that! I've been going back to edit for new readers, but things still slip through the cracks. It's a nightmare, lol!

Good morning, my DiC-orettes!!!!

 

 

gibbous    adjective | JIB-us

Definition

1 a : marked by convexity or swelling   b of the moon or a planet : seen with more than half but not all of the apparent disk illuminated   2 : having a hump : humpbacked

 

 

The adjective gibbous has its origins in the Latin noun gibbus, meaning "hump," and in the Late Latin adjective gibbosus, meaning "humpbacked," which Middle English adopted in the 14th century as gibbous. Gibbous has been used to describe the rounded body parts of humans and animals (such as the back of a camel) or to describe the shape of certain flowers (such as snapdragons). The term is most often identified, however, with the study of astronomy. A gibbous moon is one that is more than a half-moon but less than full.

When my brother had his first child he said to me … "Buy everything they sell in the drug store, and sleep?  You can live without it. " 

 

When I was a cop, we often did without a lot of sleep. It's not good, sleep when you can. Eat well, junk does not help. ..

Have a good day DiC.

Every time you say something along these lines I think of the Rodgers and Hammerstine version of Cinderella.

Honestly, I kinda fear for those who do without a lot of sleep and need to be involved in dangerous situations as part of their job. Not sure which part of the police force you were in, though, but most parts need the officers to always be alert. I may need to hit up a police station or two and ask them for tips..

 

Been eating mostly healthy, I guess it helps. I used to dislike coffee, but by last Wednesday it has been a lifesaver. I could just skip my morning gym and get more sleep, but I don't feel energetic without any workout in the morning. This is confusing 😶

 

Man..can't wait till this project is over. The higher-ups are too greedy to reject this soul-sucking project. Us lowly staff are the ones suffering.

He was in traffic for a while and then a detective with child protective services. Not a fun job but it required a lot of extra hours.

And they will tell you front line employees are so important.. and they cant do it without you... but they underpay you and a keep piling on the work and responsibility.. but no grade level changes and no extra money to compensate us lowly workers who are just so so important.  Bah.. go away and pull the other one.

Good afternoon everyone. It’s sunny outside, but my brain is in couch potato mode, and doesn’t want to go anywhere...

 

Oh well, I’ve given myself a mental kick, so I’m heading out. Have a great day you lot!

That's how I sleep when I'm hypomanic... Difference is it's enough. Or, it feels like enough, it isn't enough at all... I have insomnia too, though, so sometimes I'm like that anyway, at least when I have to get up for something in the mornings... They tell me I should keep a steady sleep schedule, and sometimes I take melatonin. I'm terrible at the former, but the latter helps sometimes, lol! Bottom line is humans can't live like that. Most of us need 7 hours of sleep or we go nuts. Good news is it doesn't all have to be at once. So, fit in a nap or two.

That's crazy weather right there, molly. Glad you're comfy and warm on the couch now.  It's how I've spent my afternoon, too.

Such is life, or so they'd have you believe. We are living in a pretty fucked up system...

For sleeping when you can't get in 8 hours, ensure you're sleep is quality.  

 

Don't do anything in your bed but sleep (or sex). No tv.  No reading.  No phone. Train your body to respond to the bed with falling asleep. 

 

Be sure you're hydrated.  Being thirsty can interrupt lots of processes.  Including sleep. 

 

Eat as well as you can and continue to exercise. 

 

Naps can be refreshing if kept under an hour, more than that and you kind of mess up your sleeping cycle.
