Fluish Princess

It’s official: I have the flu. I tested positive for Influenza A, although apparently for the seasonal type rather than the H1N1 piggy flu type, which I suppose is a small mercy. However, it’s still the damn flu. My fever spiked to 101.9 before I went to bed last night, though it finally broke sometime ...

I got home half an hour ago. I have a 9:15 am doctor’s appointment. For me to get 6 hours of sleep, which is generally my minimum, I would need to go to sleep…five minutes ago. I’m going to be very happy when this week is over.

I got home 20 minutes ago. I switched shifts with my boss tomorrow, so I have to be at work about three hours earlier than I otherwise would, which means even ditching the gym tomorrow, I have to be asleep in about 20 minutes. When do we wrap again?

A day that was supposed to be a sixth day became a lazy day yesterday, and by doing so I actually managed to get shit done today. By being a complete useless lump all day Saturday, I saved up the energy to do laundry, go grocery shopping, swim 3km in damn good time, dye my ...

I am tired. A lot physically tired, a little tired of getting run into the ground at work, VERY tired of this election, frustrated-tired of the stupid plateau I hit with my weight, tired of just having no time to do anything except work out, work, and sleep. And the latter of which I really ...

A Little Tired

2008

Last week: 6 days, somewhere between 75-80 hours (I pretty much lost count). Today: 13 hours, and lost my boss halfway through the day so I got to pull double-duty for most of the afternoon. Tomorrow: Likely even more ridiculous. I’m bloody exhausted, but I will say: I’m glad I’ve been WAY too busy to ...

Prep is always pretty brutal. Trying to formulate a system to get everyone all the information they need, figuring out exactly what information they actually do need, and even simply trying to get a grip on who the fuck everyone is before we start shooting is a time-consuming and exhausting process. Adding onto that the ...

Yes, that’s right folks, it took a whopping one day of work for me to come home so tired I lack the energy to do anything except link to something. Today’s winner: A fascinating analysis of the Facebook/Twitter phenomenon from the New York Times.

Went for a little ride with the Old Fart Bike Brigade: Atlanta Edition today. And when I say “a little ride”, I mean this nice 28 mile loop. I’m a little tired now. While I did manage to do better than my dad (in his defense, he’s almost 72 and I’m 27), I was slightly ...
