Coding and Sleeping

Right now I'm doing okay so no sympathy really needed, but I've got these two competing things coming up. My wife wanting me to get more sleep, and starting up a side business but one that is serious enough to provide work for my disabled BIL who is having trouble getting work.

Maybe I'm being too judgemental, but wanting you to start up a home business capable of employing a third party when you're already pressed for time by your current job and household responsibilities just doesn't sound reasonable (or possible) to me, Gud.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It really does just sound impossible, pretty much.

Coding and Sleeping

Yeah, I can't think of a good way to work things out. I like Fred Pete's idea to get a little self-time, but I don't know how I do all this and increase sleep time too.

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

You exercise every weekday morning, Gud? Lose it. Drop to two or three times, and get some in on the weekend.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

This might be a dumb question, but are you sleepy? Because maybe if you can figure out a way to get 7 hours every night, instead of 5-7 hours that you are getting, it might be doable. But not if you are also starting a business. Then it seems the only available time would be sleep time.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Actually the question I deleted asked whether your problem was more lack of sleep or lack of self-time.

And I agree with the others -- if you're stretched already, adding the responsibilities of a home business isn't an option.

>lack of self-time.

This is why I KNOW I am an introvert, despite all my cow-orkers protests-- I need like 5 hours of self time a day! And, like, a whole weekend day. I think if I had an SO around and we were both doing things quietly or talking a bit, that would be OK. Maybe.

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

Yay for The Scream!

OSLO, Norway - Norwegian police said on Thursday they had found two masterpieces by Edvard Munch on Thursday, two years after they were seized from a museum by gunmen.

One of the paintings is “The Scream”. The other, “Madonna”, shows a bare-breasted woman with long black hair.
