First, I was going to write about John Nash as portrayed through A Beautiful Mind (both the book and the movie) as well as some other literature. Then, I was going to address the latest (before today) episode of Bones, and their portrayal of autism. But, I’ve been sick. I was sick all of last week, and despite having taken a full course of antibiotics, I’m still sick this week – better, but not well.
Sleep has thrust itself up as an unwelcome priority in my life. Generally, I prefer to get about six to seven hours of sleep. It’s adequate, without taking up too much time. When I get four to five hours of sleep in a day, I tend to be sleep-deprived, which is not conducive to productivity. If I get eight to nine hours of sleep, then I am not able to get all I “should” do done. This last week I’ve been getting ten to fourteen hours of sleep a day and it’s not good.
Sure, it means I’m more likely to recover from this bugs that’s kicking my, well, you know. But really, how important is health anyway!?! Okay, so, yeah, that’s important, but… I don’t like not getting things done!
So, my house is a mess. My newly remodeled bathroom (with working pipes!) has yet to be refurnished. I’m behind in my writing. I’m way behind in my Purple Pen work. I’m just barely keeping up with my homework. And I haven’t blogged in over a week. Oh and today is Alex’s birthday and I have yet to get his present. To top it all off, my driveway is weighted down with about a foot of snow—which is, of course, not counting the end of the driveway, which has a good deal of the road’s snow on it, too. And I’m still tired after twice as much sleep as I usually get in a day.
On the brighter side of things, shoveling snow is a great way to clear out congestion from the lungs. Sure, it’s unpleasant, but getting that garbage out of there is what’s important, right?
