Burn out at work, burn out in the yard, then burn out in bed. 😉

I was so sleep-deprived I didn't even see this until now. 😁

It’s not that I’m running myself ragged—honestly, if I were at the beach every day swimming a mile, I'd be wiped—it's just that sometimes my sleep is a total nightmare.
If someone wakes me up, I'm basically doomed for the rest of the night.

There is nothing quite as soothing as drifting off to sleep while the rain lashes against the window and the wind howls outside.🙂

E: >, you neglected to include several items from the recipe in your total consumption list.🤣

Anthony Nguyen81 said:Man, it’s the worst when something wakes you up and you just can't drift back off.👎

When that happens to me, my mind starts wandering toward tropical islands and crazy adventures.🙂

Nothing really works besides maybe a sleeping pill, and honestly, even those fail me sometimes.
It'll pass though.

Is there a full moon coming up this week or something?

Timothy Turner5 said:I honestly love nothing more than falling asleep while it's raining and windy outside.🙂

E: Kimberly Rodriguez51, you didn't actually include all the ingredients listed in the recipe 🤣

I didn't! I'm currently on vacation and my partner isn't around to help me out right now.🕺

Kimberly Rodriguez51 said:Nothing helps—not even pills, and sometimes even those don't work.
It’ll pass eventually.

Is it maybe a full moon these days?

Yeah, there was a red moon yesterday—someone posted about it over on the US horoscope forums. 😬

Is it maybe a full moon or something?

it happened the day before yesterday 🙂 me too—I can barely sleep right for 2 or 3 days after a full moon, but I don't even stress about it anymore🙂

Kimberly Rodriguez51 said:I’m so sleep-deprived I’m just now seeing this. 😁

It’s not that I’m out of shape—I swim about a mile every single day when I'm down in Florida—it’s just that my sleep schedule is a mess.
If someone wakes me up, I'm done for. Getting back to sleep is an uphill battle.

I go through phases like that most of the year. I'll wake up at 4:00 AM and that's it, lights out.
Then I don't crash until around 11:00 PM.

Kimberly Rodriguez51 said:I am not, I am currently on vacation and my partner isn't available right now.🕺

Who would let you wander onto a beach all by yourself?😳 😁

Alright, things should look up then.
I’m actually planning on taking a slightly stronger sleeping pill tonight to help me crash. 😁

Last night was perfect for spider fishing—wind blowing, rain coming down, a bit of a chill in the air😍
pure bliss!

I’m stuck up in an attic apartment, so cooling things down isn't exactly a walk in the park, though thankfully the AC keeps the temperature within some semblance of a normal range.
It’s a bizarre phenomenon to me: whenever I am absolutely, bone-deep exhausted, sleep becomes impossible. It’s like, I’ll get home from a graveyard shift, manage to nap for maybe an hour or two, then spend three hours out in the yard mowing the lawn and doing yard work, keeping the kids entertained, making sure my wife is happy in the evening... and then I just lie there tossing and turning until 1 or 2 in the morning, unable to drift off.
I’d much rather fall asleep around 11 PM, sleep through until 4 or 5 AM, and actually have a functional routine where I can brew some coffee, catch up on some reading, prep lunch for the day...

What's on the menu for lunch today?
I'm having green beans and a sausage. 🙂

Just some unknown stuff on the menu.

Zachary Bennett said:Absolute nonsense.

Well. 👍

It finally cooled down here, and honestly, I was just completely burnt out—so I actually managed to get some decent sleep last night 😁
That’s why I’m feeling all bright and bubbly today.
It's been a pretty great day so far 😁

Zachary Bennett said:Absolute garbage.

Good grief... 😍

I'm basically inhaling frozen lasagna today. 🙂

That’s why I’m feeling all energized and cheerful today.

Hopefully things go smoother for her and the kids today. 😁

Man, I wouldn't mind grabbing some of that too. 🙂
edit, though maybe not right under the spotlight. 😁

Drew Ross2 said:which would make things a little easier for the kids today 😁

Honestly, I’d probably go for some unknown myself 🙂
edit—but maybe just under a broiler 😁

unknown is out on a business trip again 🙂
So now I have nobody to mess with 🤣

Personally, I'd kill for an octopus salad 😍

I possess a hunting 😳

Octopus 😍

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of just crashing... 😁

I ended up passing out yesterday—total blackout—just like a kid.
Among the little ones 😬
