Keep Waiting, I’m Tired

I know you’re all waiting to see what crazy crap I can come up with next but I got no time (in my opinion anyways) to write a full fled post.

You see I spent the good portion of the day in the airport, I mean like 6.5 hours. Don’t ask. Miss communication between me and buddy in charge. Picked up 4 skaters and was told we couldn’t get into the arena to build the ramps that are needed for tomorrow (Saturday). 8pm rolls around and the final skaters arrive and the ramp building commences. So here we are at 11pm, just got home almost all the ramps complete for the competition tomorrow.

The catch to all of this is that I still haven’t caught up on the sleep I missed coming out of night shifts. So for the last 16 hours I have been running on 5 hours of sleep but before that I was up for about 21 hours. As you can tell what may see like simple tasks were dragged out because of my lack of sleep.

Tomorrow is a new day and this weekend is packed full of events and I hope to pop in and out of them getting pictures and what not.
I’m tired so off to sleep I go to try and get at least 8 hours.

Peace.

Lots to do, half asleep

I’m going back to work tonight which means I will be very tired as I will only be running on 3 hours worth of sleep that I tried to get this past pm. I look forward to going back to work as it means I can focus and doing some things online I generally forget to do while I am off due to being outside and about town.

Some of the things I want to get done, if I don’t fall asleep, are:

  • Write a post for this blog
  • Write a couple posts I have in mind for YkOnline
  • Set up a Links page for YkOnline. Links from Blogs to community links to Blogger Profiles.
  • And of course watch some of the season finales that have aired over the last couple days.

We will see how I make out.

Out of Yellowknife Vacation – Day 2,3,4

Well I better get on this as I have already let you down with my daily posts of my “eventful” trip.

If you follow me on twitter @the_bushman is will already have a good idea as to what I have been up to in the last couple days but let me fill the rest of you in.

My second day in Edmonton was much like the first. I was up early because I can no longer sleep for more than 6 hours at a time, so I came online until 11am. At that time my friends came and picked me up from my hotel and we grabbed bunch on our way back to the West Edmonton Mall. At the mall I got a new laptop/camera backpack that I quite like, as well I got to go in the Apple store and take in all the nice things that can be found there. I was told I looked completely out of place in the store as I was the only person with a plaid jacket and country look. There is another one of those moments where I feel out of place in this world.

After visiting a couple other stores around town we went to a $3.50 movie theatre and watched Marley and Me. A movie about the life of a untamed dog and his owners. Leaving the movie at about 6pm we decided it was definitely time for supper. Swiss Chalet was decided upon and off we went to find one. Once finding a rather busy one, I was able to enjoy a nice rack of robs with a garlic loaf. Eating that meal was an evening event of its own so when we were finished at the restaurant we all retired to our hotels for a good night sleep before our trek back to BC the next morning.

The Next Morning: Day 3,

Monday was ultimately uneventful except out flat tire while we were trying to leave Edmonton. The flat delayed us almost 2 hour but no matter we were getting out of there one way or another. After the 6.5 hour drive through places like Whitecourt, Valleyview, Grande Prairie, Beaver Lodge, and Dawson Creek we finally arrived at the House just off the highway here in BC. As it wasn’t that late a movie was put on but I was again way to tired and crashed.

Day 4,

After a breakfast of eggs, bacon and potatoes we headed in to Dawson Creek to go grocery shopping as it was direly needed. While heading in to town we quickly stopped by a wee bit of property with a cabin on it 10 minutes out of town that was for sale. A smile comes across my face as my imagination runs wild of the possibilities. Oh one can dream.

That concludes the last 3 days.

I am looking forward to tonights meal of Butcher Block steaks and potatoes.

Easy Rolling

I am beginning to really enjoy my daily schedule. At 11pm I head into work and stay at work throughout the night. I get off work at 9am and by this time I am quite tired even if I had slept all day the day before. I head over to Tim Horton’s like many other Yellowknifers do as a morning ritual. I got my bagel and coffee and head home. This is the point of the morning where I wake up a little again and feel as though I haven’t been up for the last 12 hours. When I get home I sit down to eat my breakfast while watching the morning new. I much prefer the news in the morning to evening news, there always seems to less…… politics….. No it is not just that. Its more about everyday living, than the governments stupidity, they talk about things that are actually interesting, and that might liven up your day. Once I finish watching the morning news I contemplate going to sleep and do the quick math in my head about when I would wake up if I went to sleep then. I sleep about 8 hours give or take 1 hour and I like to wake up some what close to the time I work so I don’t get bored sitting around my house waiting for the time to come.

I don’t do much else while I’m in working mode nor to I really have an contact with any other people. I work alone. I work 4 on 4 off, so it feels like I’m getting a long weekend every four day. Doesn’t that make you feel mad that you work 5 days a week with only 2 off! Don’t worry I will have to come back to reality sometime.

Have a good day at work. I’m going to sleep.

Couldn’t if I Wanted Too

Man I couldn’t write a proper post if I really wanted too. I have been up for 24 hours now and I wanted to write up a post I have been working on but I guess thats not going to happen. My eye lids are heavy and I have been reading most of the night and could fall asleep at anytime, ironicly I only have a hour and half left before I can go home.

I couldn’t even remember what that post was going to be about, so I had to check in my Notebook. It will be on my disappearing act. If you know me you kind of have picked up on the idea that I disappear. I guess you will have to check back later to find out, Why I do it? Where I go? When I will come back, if ever?
