I had some pound cake for desert, and went to bed shortly thereafter. I had dreams disturbing enough to drive the sane mad and inspire sanity in the insane. My dead dog was alive again, I had a certain woman in my arms, and I was alone upon a beach. The dog died and rotted in front of me, the woman vanished, and the sea turned red and was about to sweep me away in a tsunami just as I woke up with a cold sweat at some unholy hour. I took a moment to regain my composure, (about 3 seconds) and then rolled over and fell back asleep. I’m inclined to suspect my subconscious is trying to tell me something. However it’s a whiny bitch and needs to quiet the fuck down. I’m tired and I need my sleep! Without soul destroying insanity dreams! Thank you!
Anyway… I finally got up around 7, went for my usual tea and cereal, honey bunches of oats this morning. Then gradually made my way to the exercise room and increased my repetitions from 10-15 with an extra 15 of strait bench raises in addition to my normal tri and bicep curls. I’m beginning, I think, to note positive effects; I believe I have lost 5 pounds. My doctor said I shouldn’t go below 175, and at present I’m a comfortable 10 pounds away from it with 185, I was 190… due primarily to months of hiding from the cold and not doing much of anything. At any rate my goal is unrelated to weight, I’m trying to become even more freakishly strong and overbearing than I already am… the loss of a few pounds is just a sign that it’s working.
After my exercises I showered, got dressed, had left over’s for lunch, and thus proceeded to finally do the one calculus problem I’ve been stuck on all week. I then did several more before calling it a day. I then went for a walk up and down eastern ave, (would have gone to the beach but it was very windy and I was somewhat overdressed and getting rather sweaty in my jeans and leather jacket, which I chose because the combination of jeans and a windbreaker left me rather cold two days prior, as I already recorded.)
After getting back I did 2 chapters of biology homework, had the same left overs for dinner, (my father made far too much of that Irish stew…) and an ale, this time it was a spring blend, noble pils, I found it quite good. I finished an additional chapter of bio homework… with a higher score than the prior two assignments in spite of mild inebriation and extreme sleep deprivation. But it was easy, just categorizing various organelles with respect to eukaryotes vs prokaryotes. The only pain was distinguishing the various parts of the cytoskeleton, which are virtually identical to one another aside from some minor differences in composition and function, microtubes being hollow for example.
I then logged on only to be greeted by some horribly obvious bot trying to get me to take an IQ test, I reported it, what fools are so stupid as to actually fall for this nonsense? It defies even my low opinion of my fellow featherless bipeds.
I also spent some time reading various “last words” of famous people; it drastically improved my mood, which may be a bad sign. But now I am tired, my eyes have burned all day, and I am quite confident that I will retire early. In the words of Napoleon ''One needs to go to sleep and not wake up for a year or two" If only human beings could voluntarily hibernate… But alas, I have so much more work to do. It’s a good thing I’m me, I’ll be done well before my deadlines. The question is will I be able to get a decent night’s sleep? Well I suppose I will find out.
