Went to bed @ midnight Tues, woke up @ 1:30. Fell asleep @ 6am, got up @ 11. Stayed up all day so I could sleep that night. Went to bed @ midnight Wed, woke up @ 1:00. Took sleeping pill @ 4:30, fell asleep by 6am, was woke up @ 9:00 by BCA member. Too excited about picking up new skimmer and pump...then bought RO unit. Went online to buy parts....now it's nearing 9pm and 6 beers. Hope I sleep. This soon-to-come saltwater tank is gonna be the death of me |

OK, it's official.....as others have already stated, I'm nuts
We're putting in new carpet, it's nearly X-mas, I'm unemployed, and I have just spent over $1000 on gear for my up-coming FOWLER. But hey, it is money that came from selling my Freshwater gear, so it's OK, right? RIGHT? |

In the last 2 months I have had 6 - 36+ hr days, not from excitement of new things and such but all work. So you still have a little catching up to do

But it's showing on my face. Black circles and bags. I just hope my heart stands up to it. We're not as young as we used to be, right? Oh well, at least the wife still loves me, right Donna? Donna? Where the hell is she God, I gotta find a new job. I'm goin' stir-crazy If it wasn't for the new FOWLR project, I mighta gone bonkers |

Ya, I'm posting again....
Goddamned Canada Post.... All they give you is 'Parcel arrived @ shipping' so-and-so, with no tracking stating where it is. Then the next is the arrival date. Nothing in between. What's the point of Canada Post Tracking ? |

Even harder to recoup when you can't take a day to just veg out. Monday - Friday work to pay the bills, Saturday & Sunday work on the " honey to-do list ", work / play with the Huskies, acreage yard work ( all year round ), tank maintainance, work on other peoples tanks / stands. Just not enough hrs in the day.

Sleep deprivation is a normal state of affair for me. I haven't hit REM sleep in ages. Unfortunately, my students consider texting me at 4 or 5 in the morning to be ok. This time of year, no days off and minimal sleep is normal.
Yesterday, I was sooooo tired, I had an energy drink so I could finish the last few hours of editing work. Didn't help so I had a Red Bull. Finished very early, by 11:30am, but the Red Bull kicked in big time and I couldn't wind down until 6:30am. Then an unnamed fishie friend calls me at 10:30am. Awesome. At least I used the time to change out my return pump, clean my skimmer, top off my ATO container, do some dosing, and clean the glass. Did more maintenance on Red Bull than I had time to do for the last few weeks. Anthony
