A few more weeks and I won't have to wake up with the neighbors rooster. Making my smoothie on the porch while the spiders make their smoothies 😂 so I don't wake my son up. Five hours of sleep is not cutting it for my aging bod. To go into work...

work ethic is (for the most part) a thing of the past. I used to tell myself that I could be proud of the fact that I worked more hours, got more accomplished and had better stamina than kids half my age....I still do all that, but now I am just mostly tired, but doing the same as I ever did and wiped out at the end of the day.

@goliathtree exactly this.

At first I was thinking, dang I still got it...

Then I realized everyone else would just let me do it all and nobody cared. It doesn't mean anything anymore.

@ScreamingFox Sometimes we make our own misery and doing it all becomes an expectation and we enable others to sit on their ass and watch while we do.

5 hours is my average sleep, unfortunately. I need to work more on that.

I also get doing your job plus others. I'm always covering everyone else, yet when i need help or someone to cover things while I'm gone. No dice.

People expect everything yet give nothing

@Bexsy I don't know how you function on so little sleep. It physical hurts me. Does it hurt you?

@ScreamingFox it probably is a big part of why my concentration is so lacking sometimes. I jump from thing to thing, kinda like my brain

5 hours sleep is usually what I get on weekdays and some of my best friends are spiders.

ScreamingFox · 41-45, F

@robingoodfellow are you good with that amount of sleep?

I usually need 7 hours and a slow morning to perform my best with minimal pain.

Spiders make the best companions and friends. Relatable. Just tryna chill.

@ScreamingFox 5 isn’t enough but I can function. 6 I'm pretty good.

Good morning. I hope the day is good and a few kind souls are encountered. 🤗🤗🤗

Humans are the bloodsuckers ... the vice in the equation. I thank you for your expression, you come off as a unique and authentic person that i wish well, easier days for you, you deserve that.

@TheYawnArchive I don't want to be on this planet anymore
