Weird things have been happening to me.... I more or less understand and accept the anomalies in yesterday's run and the weird feeling they resulted in, but since then those could've been gone with the wind. Just on the contrary, I've been experiencing a rather strange condition. I haven't slept for more than 45 hours now, which is quite much, given that I ran around 12K  on Saturday, spent Sunday morning running up and about with doggies at the local dog-school(drove 30K to and fro) then the afternoon basically the same, just with kids, the evening(night) with some work, some more browsing, and even more chatting with friends online. What's even more unusual is that I do not feel sleepy, not in the least. I guess I could sleep if I put myself into bed, I just don't feel the need for it, nor do I get the well-known OMG-my-head-soon-falls-down-on-my-desk feeling. Don't understand.
 *puzzled look*

If that wasn't enough in itself,  i still  don't feel the urge to eat some normal (nutritious, healthy, human) food, either.  Since the pasta I had quite some time after Saturdays run, I have only had some chicken-soup and a small bar of choc. I did drink a lot ( water and some fruit tea), though.
*even more puzzled look+rolling eyes*

Now as I'm sitting here wide awake, I'm toying with the thought of  an experiment on myself, checking where my sleep deprivation limit is. That is, how long my body and mind (yep, it's the brain that gives-up soon after the 50hour mark) can endure staying awake. I'm not gonna try it now most probably, since I have the kids, whom I need to take proper care of during the day, take my daughter to preschool in the morning and go back for her in the afternoon, prepare lunch, etc  And not even hubby will be here tomorrow .  So off to bed with me, whatever the outcome.

I sometimes have to force myself to rest (if not sleep) and eat.
The highs and lows feed each other.

The higher we go with the running around, lack of sleep and food; the lower we fall with the mood. Then the lows will feed the highs and so on and it becomes a circle.

This is the time to do the opposite of what you think.
Especially with the young ones entrusted to your care.
