1.29.2006 Weight: didn't check due to sleep cycle being completely fuckedMood: awake for once Lessee -- today's gym activities consisted of a half hour on the reclining bike, and three sets of standing pulldowns. It ain't gonna happen until I lose a buttload of weight, but before I'm 41 I intend to do at least one pullup, and in order to make that happen I need a lot more upper body strength than I have at the moment. As for the sleep cycle issues, one of the problematic things about Lyndon working nights is that it screws with my sleep cycle as well as his -- he can leave any time between 10:00 PM and midnight, and can get home anywhere from 5:00 AM to 8:00 AM. The arrivals aren't bad, because usually I have my earplugs in and sleep through them, but the departures suck because my first sleep plateau starts at 11:00 PM when he's either getting ready for work or getting up from a nap in order to start preparations. And sleeping through that -- no, it just doesn't happen. My next sleep plateau is at 2:00 AM, which means that if I'm lucky I can catch six hours if I drop off immediately (and that doesn't happen often). What's more likely is that I get four or five hours, stagger through the day, come home and take a badly needed nap, which of course resets my sleep plateau and means I'm not sleepy even if I COULD get to sleep at 11:00 PM, yadda yadda yadda. (And we won't talk about my unique ability to wake up sometime in the midnight hour if I go to sleep any time before 10:00 PM -- happens like clockwork, it does). And yes, he's looking for another job, the achievement of which I will greet with great joy. In the meantime, however, it usually means that I spend the week incurring a sleep debt, which then needs to be made up over the weekend. Such as, oh, this one, in which I've slept from 6:30 PM to 11:15 PM last night, 8:00 AM to 1:45 PM this morning, and 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM this evening. Which sucks for getting anything useful done, granted, but I actually feel awake for the first time in a week. And now that I've done my job in the gym, I'm off to finish my HOUSTON, WE HAVE BUBBAS entry. |
