A Jars needs ten hours of sleep a night. It's a basic medical fact. It's science!
This is vw too! I thought I was the only one!
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

No! I can get by on seven or eight, but after a few days I need serious nappage to catch up.

I can't get by, really. I need my sleep, or I go wonky. It's the one sure thing that messes me up. So, I try to keep it as regular as possible.
So, how are other things? How was being nekkid in the field? Fun? Cold?

It was very cold. And bizzarre. A thousand or so naked people, being ordered about by men with megaphones. At one point we had roses. It was like when you're describing a dream to someone - And then there were roses, and we were all naked, and there was a castle, and a man on a crane!
How're you? Is CBD back yet?

Oh, my goodness! That sounds like craziness! What an experience!
How're you? Is CBD back yet?
I'm ok. I tried to go back to work full-time yesterday, and it failed miserably, so that's been hard. Trying to figure out what to do... and not beat myself to death with a noodle.
CBD is not back yet. He just left! He's not back till Sunday. But, he did call yesterday (which is kind of big because he HATES the phone). He's having fun, but said that the trip happened at an inopportune time, which I thought was so sweet.

Aw! That is sweet!

Um, yeah, don't. Youre schedule sounds nuts. To me, anyway. I know I couldn't manage.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Oh! Forgot to say YAY to the whole nekkid-Jars-in-a-field extravaganza. That does sound spectacular and awesome, and I'm most impressed by your chutzpah.

Yeah. It was clear that I had, once again, set too high of expectations of myself (surprise! surprise!). So, this is the new big thing to focus on. It's frustrating to want to be able to do something (and feel like I HAVE to to survive), but just not have the energy.
And it's interesting. See, now that there is boy, my priorities are a little different. I'm not willing to push myself into the ground and have the major breakdown. I really want balance. So, I just have to work to find it. And the schedule I planned for myself? NOT balanced.

It's a good thing! And hey, at least you figured it out early. Sometimes it's okay to have spare hours in a day.

Yeah. Exactly. This is what both my therapist and the agency said. And the woman at the agency is being so kind. She actually called to check on me yesterday afternoon, and she said, "You don't know until you try. At least you tried. So many people don't even do that."
