Nope, it's still hanging out behind my eyeballs. It's still better than it was... I probably gave it to myself by sleeping way too hard last night. As in, I woke up in the same position that I went to sleep.

Since you probably get less than 5 hours per night sleep during the week, your body was probably trying to get caught up.

I get around 5ish. Actually, I found out a long time ago that if I sleep more than that during the week, I will actually fall asleep at work. I have no idea why... you'd think that getting more sleep would mean that I wouldn't do that. So I usually sleep around 8-10 hours/weekend nights, and 5-6 hours during the week. Craziness. Makes me wish I was more normal.

I used to be able to do that - until I hit about 40 and my body said "can't survive on 4-5 hours of sleep during the week." Back when I could "catch up" with a nap on Sunday afternoon, I considered the time between 10 pm and 2 am to be my most productive time, because the rest of the household was asleep.

Actually, I think it'd be nice to be able to go to bed and sleep at the same time everybody else does... it gets kinda quiet after a while. I'm going to go try now... usually takes me about a half hour or more of laying there to get to bed.

D'Lynn has a rule that I can't get out of bed before 9am on Sundays, because she wants to get up and get her own breakfast, read, and all that before I get up and make her do chores.

I fall asleep almost immediately, once I get to bed. It would be nice to have a "rule" that I couldn't get up until sometime after 8:00 on a weekend morning. That is a rule I wouldn't have any difficulty keeping.

Good night. I need to be up before 9 in the morning. Hope your headache is gone when you awaken.

Had a great but exhausting time at the Pryor Show. Got to spend a little time with several "Okies," including some of the wonderful youngsters. We're so fortunate to have such great kids (not to mention their parents). Even a couple of unknown "lurkers" on the forum introduced themselves after spying the P.O.O.P.S. t-shirt. Birds showed well, sold or gave away all my sale birds, and came away with 4 new lavender non-bearded silkies a great breeder friend brought me from Texas, along with a really neat pewter silkie pin and an American Silkies Bantam Club pin. Showed me the really beautiful patch. All can be seen at the ASBC site. Was one of the last ones out of the barn (moving veeerrrry slowly by that time) and could barely move when I got home.

Now gotta clean out the rest of the coops and pens, move birds around, and build new coops and pens! Now have a clearer idea of what to do when. Haven't fired up the 'bators yet, but that's on the near horizon.

Morning all : I had a great time at Cement last night as usual. Lot's of good hatching eggs, no chicks yet, and the birds looked really good and is good condition. Got a chance to visit with everybody, I sure do like that, It was really good to see KT & Mike there. I saw GB1 and he was in & out and I missed getting to say hi, so Gerald don't run off so fast next time buddy.

Morning Doc............ did ya have a good time last night, I am with you on those NN no offense Les LOL. Gerald and Carla have been working really hard on their reputation of giving away birds and then watching intently to see the sparks fly LOL. By the way now I know why you call the little one hot dog, he loves those things hehehehe.
