But I have over 2 hours before I have to get out of bed.

I have...362 hours before I have to get out of bed.

YAY vacations!

ETA: Of course, I haven't actually gotten into bed yet. But, if I had, yadda yadda yadda...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have over 2 hours before I have to get out of bed

So did I, first time round. See where it got me?

So to celebrate your (yay!) vacation, you got up this early? [Edit: x-post with your edit, so never mind]

I love getting up early when I'm not in a hurry to anywhere.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Up at insano thirty o'clock?

Kristen, if you never go to sleep, it doesn't count.

I haven't gone to bed yet. I may attempt a nap later but I'm going to try to keep it short. I need to get my sleep schedule back to normal so I'm not sleeping all day and then staying up all night.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So this morning on the train I was wondering if you breathed pure oxygen for a long enough time for all the nitrogen in your bloodstream to be replaced with oxygen, could you hold your breath longer, and if so, how long?

When you hold your breath for a long time, what is it that makes you really really want to breath? The declining % of oxygen in your blood? The increasing levels of CO₂ in your blood? Oxygen and or CO₂ levels in your lungs? Or some body clock?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Happy Birthday, ChiKat! May it be a lovely one.

Maybe your body thinks that it's on a trip to a different timezone?

what is it that makes you really really want to breath?

Isn't it easier to not inhale for a longer time if you exhale a bit while you're at it?

I dunno. Maybe there's a FAQ at the Holding-Your-Breath-For-a-Long-Time Institute.

Our wings are not tired.

Happy Birthday ChiKat!

It seems totally unfair to me Perkins.

Betsy, thanks for that Science Fair link. Brendon is done for this year, haven't heard about Bobby yet. But yes indeed next year we will do it again. I'm jealous that your kid did actual science. The only way I could even get Brendon to show any enthusiasm was to let him burn up stuff.

That part was rather fun. The first trial the flame was too far away and it took too long for anything to burn. The second trial everything caught almost immediately with flame all over the place and the holders melting and all kinds of fun. We have pictures that we put on the board. The next few times we hit a happy medium.
