It occurs to me that I'll actually have to sleep at some point. I mean, if I was 10 years younger, I could probably survive without it, but at some point my 31-year-old body is going to say, "I've had enough of your abuse" and simply rebel on my brain by passing out.
That would be unfortunate.
I was thinking that I would even spend some time with the kids tomorrow, er, today to make up for the lost time during the 'thon, but really, I'm going to need at least a few hours of sleep. Maybe I should just try to stay up and go to bed early? I think my sleep schedule is going to be screwed up for a while after this....

Ha! I was just looking through my stats to see if anyone's been reading this junk, when my watch alarm went off and scared me half to death.
I have my watch set for 6am every morning, and haven't bothered to change it since it either wakes me up when I'm usually suppose dto get up, or it is completely ineffective. But when you've been sitting by yourself for a few hours, and you're holding your chin up with your fist, and your watch speaker - which by being on the bottom of the watch is normally muffled by your wrist - is more exposed due to the angle of your arm, the alarm is really, really loud.
Just thought I'd share....

The best ideas come to us by chance. Or so I'm convinced.
Careful planning can yield good results, but on the rare occasions when fortune smiles upon you, miracles can happen.
That's what chapter 17 is about. It's about love, and luck, and bimbos....

Just in case you needed to fit an extra person in your car, you could try this.
Though it's probably not to healthy for your car, I would imagine.
Starting to feel a little woozy, but still doing alright. Only three and a half more hours to go. Only seven posts left to make.
There are some weird little bumps appearing on my right arm as I type. There is a seam in my desk where my arm rests on it, and as I move my hand/arm around, it's pinching the skin of my arm ever so slightly. I guess normally it wouldn't be so bad, but after sitting here for so many hours, it's starting to do weird things to my arm.
What would really be nice is a shower. That's the thing about staying up really long. There really aren't hygene guidelines for people who intend not to sleep. After how many hours of wakedness should a person bathe to keep from turning into an oily pit of stinky goo?...
