Current Status:
Still doing remarkably well. Fairly awake most of the time, with increased foggy-headedness.

I have to say I'm surprised how easy it's been so far. Besides the previous night, I haven't felt very exhausted at all. The bags under my eyes in my drawings represent occasional drowsiness, but nothing that lasts for very long. I didn't have any trouble tonight with alarms or getting up. My naps today have been much closer to sleep than those of yesterday. I'll feel a little tired before I lie down, then wake up feeling a little more refreshed. So far the biggest annoyance about the nighttime is how cold it gets in the house. My family turns off the heater at night to conserve gas. I have to fight the temptation to just crawl under my warm blankets and bundle up instead. This limits me in some ways, but I'm fighting it. I realize that this is a little early to be updating today, so chances are that I will be updating later in the day, as well.

Recent Concerns:
- The house is damned cold at night.
- Erin, my girlfriend, told me that her father recommended that I keep track of my blood pressure and body temperature. He feels that both may be affected. I don't think either would be a bad idea and may look into getting one of those arm band blood pressure thingies. After all, this is, in part, for :science:
- My bottom eyelid on my right eye has been twitching a bit recently. It is unclear whether or not this is related.

Looking Ahead:
I plan on going for a short walk/jog after my 8am nap, coming back for a shower, then having a hearty breakfast. It's exciting how motivated I feel already from doing this. This might die down in the next couple of days if the worst is yet to come, but for now I feel great.

The forecast is looking a little foggier than before, with chance of random laughing fits

This isn't what I expected at all. I feel... fantastic. My last couple of naps were very refreshing. Right now I feel very alert and relaxed. I've doing everything I can to try to give my body what it needs to adapt. I've been eating more, and more healthily, and I've been drinking lots and lots of water. I was pretty exhausted from my mile jog this morning, although that was also because I'm in horrendous shape. I slip in and out of very mild fog-headedness from time to time, but for the most part I am doing magnificently well.



It's been a very interesting experience so far. I can already sense how my concept of time is changing. Days no longer seem to pass in a long period of an open window, and a long period of a closed window. Instead, it's as if the window is practically open all the time and the world is passing by as a single entity, rather than in episodes. Additionally, I've realized both how little and how much time three and a half hours can be. I've found it very easy to sink into a mindset of "oh, I only have an hour left until my nap, can't do anything productive in that time." My next task will be to break out of that thinking habit. Right now I'm spending most of my time doing recreational activities, which is fine, but I also have to be careful about not getting too comfortable doing that, either. As a goon suggested, I'm going to start learning a little French, so maybe that will be enough for now to help keep me from being a lazy bum afloat in a sea of All the time in the world.
