How to not to take care of yourself.

5:45 alarm goes off, start playing snooze-tag

6:15 actually get up

6:17 make and drink quadruple iced mocha, on particularly rough mornings or if I'm stuffed up I'll have some ephedrine with this

7:10 smoke on the way to the bus (not every day, about twice a week)

8:15 first coffee at work and plunk down in front of computer

9:00 second coffee

9:30 third coffee

10:15 fourth coffee

11:30 fifth coffee

12:00 microwave popcorn and sixth coffee

1:30 seventh coffee

2:45 eighth coffee

4:00 leave computer

5:00 get home, hang with kids

6:00 dinner, usually with Kool-aid or cola

7:00 help get the kids started to going to bed

7:30 retreat to basement and plunk down in front of computer to work some more

8:00 a big bowl of ice-cream, a beer, a gin & tonic, or more Kool-aid

1:00 leave the computer

1:30 go to bed and kick myself time wasted from lack of focus that comes from lack of sleep and for not going to bed hours earlier

1:45 finally fall asleep for another oh-so-fitful four hours

I seriously need some sleep and some fun. I should have some money coming in today or tomorrow so I think I will be at Sin City. But right now I'm overdue for my popcorn and coffee...
