Night Shift

Hi @eth - I'm pretty sure it's not a stimulant. Senega is in the milkwort family. The Cherokee used it as an expectorant...

Hey @Silenus, about your question to do with sleep patterns: it's complicated. There are some answers are in @Decadian's discussion thread called The Sleep Demon.

Cheers @Mazarita - I'll check it out... 🙂

Morning 🙂

Wish me luck !

D3 and S2 were up till 4:00am structuring this TAFE portfolio for D3.

Positives:

It was self-motivated in both of them

It was a compassion cycle - her sharing a need and accepting help, him having compassion and assisting her

D3 produced a solid 3hrs of work

There was no sign of psychosomatic pain in D3 until a hand cramp locked into a fist at 4:00am

She handled that by just breathing through it until her hand relaxed back out of it

Yay !

Not-so-positives:

They both have to get their butts up and moving in a sleep-deprived state - neither are good at this

D3 is working on the presumption she will be granted an extension on the portfolio - yet to be confirmed

So this is why my hair is turning so "blonde" ... 😏

[Silenus]

On the whole, that's some great positives @Faith-and-Hope

I can't decide whether I dodged a bullet or am missing out with my choice to not father children... probably a bit of both, I'd imagine...

Best of luck to you and the kidlets... hugs. 🙂

[Faith-and-Hope]

Thanks guys.

i'll let you know how it all pans out.

Ok ... progress report  ...

Got D3 to TAFE - only an hour late ✅

D1 has just left to be a model for D3's in-class assignment today ✅

S2 is a "no show" for art class again today, even though he chose to sleep in and go late ❎

He has promised me that if he can't pull it together next week he will talk to the doctor ✅

Plan A was to stay at the art centre and have lunch there with D2 and S2 when he had finished class.  There's a great little cafe with lots of greenery and great food.  Not happening.

Plan B is to walk down to the river cafe with D2 and S2 when I can get S2's butt out of.bed sometime in the middle of the day, eat lunch and look for dolphins, with a giant cup of coffee in there somewhere for me !  Let's see how that goes.

@Silenus, I reckon it's a bit of both ...

im awake.. reality crushing in on me. had a dream i was a murder suspect, that was fun.

struggling with a sinus infection/cold, have only managed one goal this week. had another look at the dreaded tafe site, will have to rush to fill things in if im into it

[Silenus]

Sending soup @plasmo...

Is it just me, or is the TAFE thing really difficult to understand? I was looking into Cert IV, but gaaah!!! Can't make head nor tail of it...

And then I go "Oh look, a shiny thing!" and it's all systems nope!
