Counting Sheep

Last night was the best night of sleep I’ve had in months. I took a few Ibuprofin along with some Tylenol sleeping pills before hitting the pillow around 12:30 and didn’t wake up until 10 this morning. It felt great! I finally crawled out of bed around 11 feeling fresh and ready to go.

Long Nights

I just can’t stay up late like I used to. A year or two ago, I could stay up until 12 or 1 in the morning and get up for work the next day without a problem. I can’t do that anymore. Last night I realized that I used to drink at least 5-6 cans/bottles […]

How Did That Happen?

The plan for the night was to go over to a friend’s place for some drinks and a little “get together.” I jumped in beg at 5:30 to take a nap until about 7. That’d give me enough time to make dinner, clean up and then get to their place by 9. Well, I just […]

A Busy Week Means A Quiet Week

Just a warning that I have a very busy week ahead. On Friday I’m taking a couple of Microsoft certification tests, so all of my free time will be spent studying. I don’t have much free time as it is, so updates and posts to the site will be few and far between, if any at all. I’m also trying to get into a sleeping routine, which hasn’t been going so well. Starting last week I’ve been going to bed before 11:00 during the week, trying to get more sleep. It’s not working! I haven’t been able to sleep worth a shit since I’ve been doing this. In fact, I’m home sick from work today because I’m rundown. The last thing I want to do is risk getting mono again, so I always play it safe when I feel like this. I was getting more rest by going to bed at 1:00 AM…I just don’t understand! So, when I’m not at work, studying, or trying to sleep, I’ll be biking or eating. As you can see, it doesn’t leave much time for working on the web.

It’s a bad week for this to happen though, especially with all of the new domains I’ve recently registered. In addition to the ones I posted about the other day, I have one that just completed a transfer today. I had to buy it from someone who had it registered, so I’ve wanted to keep it quiet until it was in my name. I’ve got some pretty big plans for it, which I’m extremely excited about. It’s just too bad that I’ll have to wait until the weekend to get started on it. I’ve also purchased my own dedicated server, where I’ll be running all of my sites from. I have to transfer everything over to the server from my current hosting providers and update the domain names to use this new server. In that process, mtdewvirus.com might “disappear” for a day or two, but I’ll try to make the transition as smooth as possible. If anyone has any suggestions for this process, I’m all ears! Since I have my own server, I now have the means to host people’s sites with all of the extra space and bandwidth I’m paying for. If you are interesting in starting a site, or need a place to host your domains, contact me and I’ll see what we can work out.

As you can see, a busy week for me means a quiet week for the site. 😐

NESS

Not Enough Sleep Syndrome.

I don’t know if such a thing exists, but I have it. I don’t get nearly enough sleep, especially during the week. Most nights I don’t get to bed until after midnight. Sometimes as late as 1:30 a.m. For those of you that don’t know, I start work at eight in the morning. Six or seven hours of sleep a night just doesn’t cut it.

I try to get to bed earlier, I really do. But I can never make the move from this chair to my pillow…only 4 feet away. I’ve always been productive late at night, especially when I was in college. It seems so much easier to get things done when everyone else is sleeping. The world is quiet and I can think clearly. Once in awhile I’ll be laying in bed already and will come up with such a good idea, that I have to get up and write it down. So then the whole sleep cycle has to start over again.

Maybe my body is getting used to the lack of sleep, but I somehow doubt it. I’m tired all day long, but can’t force myself to take a simple nap after I get home from work. NESS is kicking my ass! If anyone knows a cure, please let me know.
