But, gotta go to bed. We wanna beat 8:30 as bedtime.
We really need to get started earlier so we can finish sooner. But hey...on the bright side, we got to start playing our favorite game of all time on-stream. We're planning on going through the entire main game (plus rage of krolm) onstream, and that's gonna be an experience.
But, gotta go to bed. We wanna beat 8:30 as bedtime.

It's 10 am.
Good stream! But we need to sleep now. We had eight hours of sleep last night, not counting naps.
We've been keeping up on coffee drinking and tea drinking at normal times. We're pretty sure our hydration levels are normal, and food intake regular, and workouts about normal. What gives. Why are we this badly tired? We're still doing productive stuff, mind you! Today we did a little extra notes writing (nothing new in terms of worldbuilding, but writing down some notes we had kept in our head) and actually did a little bit of the revising we needed to do on the current chapter we're writing (I know the dangers of the eternal edit loop, but this edit is necessary because to tell the narrative we need, we need a specific tone and content within, and while we nailed it in the earlier sections of the chapter, the later seconds drifted away; we found the spot it drifted and are working on fixing it, which will be worth, trust me). So not a lost day with nothing done at all. But. Still. We're not supposed to be this exhausted all the time. What's wrong with us? Is it really the sickness? We got decent sleep.
We got decent rest. We took a nap. (More than one in fact.) We felt less sick than before. We rested. And yet we have felt more tired than ever before. I don't know why. On the bright side, a nearly 7 hour stream of writing for our novel, but like. That didn't cause this tiredness. But we will be by the time we finish this blog.
Trying to speedrun it, but obviously, not quickly enough. ...Late for bed again.
We celebrated my mom's birthday today, and managed to schedule a few youtube videos, and get some work done. So like. Good day, but now we're gonna have a bad time tomorrow. Especially since there's a deadline thingy due on Monday at 11:30 am and there's nothing I can do about it other than hope and pray, I've done what I can. The excessive dead tiredness;
The possible fever the last couple of days; The cough I developed today; The fact that none of my food or drink today has tasted the way I expect, tasting worse and more like cardboard. That's, uh. That's alarming. It's all mild. It could just be my anxiety running wild. The dead tiredness could be lack of sleep. The fever could just be it being absurdly cold. The cough could be due to overexertion. The food/drink could just be a bad order of operations in eating it, especially given a slightly burnt tongue (altho I should note I didn't receive "ow too hot" feedback prior to feeling like my tongue was burned). So as much as I would like to just say I'm definitely sick--I can't. It could just be me spiraling, connecting the worst case scenarios together. After all, I still taste things, they just don't taste the way I am expecting them too, and the cough isn't consistent and the fever if existing would be so mind as to be virtually undetectable. Which means unless I get worse, I can't call in sick tomorrow for work. But, uh. I need to be very very careful. And vigilant. We sadly have no at-home test kits, but might need to try and get one tomorrow. I wish I could say today was productive but while I did some note-writing, it was very very light, not actually making progress. (Well, I did cover half of a thing I set to do a couple days ago, but it ain't finished yet.)
I'm tired, dangerously so. And struggling to stay afloat. I was worried I wouldn't make it home. I prayed to the traffic gods and tried every trick in my book and barely pulled it off. I'm not doing good enough, and I am scared. I don't have coherent thoughts, this is different facets mixing their thoughts, but I am not really doing well. I'm tired, I'm not getting things done, drive is scary, I'm just afraid I'm not going to survive yet I really really really want to. Yesterday's lack of blog was due to us being way too tired.
Today, it's due to the day being too short; we had only 8 hours of usable time and we're on hour ten of that. (See also, title of blog.) But, it was at least somewhat productive. We knocked out some of the basic basics behind farn and spent almost all of it on background information. Basically, we know a lot of what happened. How Lilith became a demon, the way Milodee became a demon, the way Mastemo became a demon, the way a different demon became a demon, the backstory of Bairn, the importance of Bairn, the basic geology of the land Bairn and Gardoni are in, the fall of three archangels, the fighting of two different pantheons of gods, and a lot of information that is important to the story. But while I can cut a lot of corners, I still need to give at least some idea of timeline. My current story is basically an anime (a shonen, mostly) in story form--the thing about anime though is that they usually show maps and in order to have a good map, I need to have mapped out the basic layout of every country referenced. The entire continent the setting takes place on is mentioned, a neighboring continent is mentioned, and most (or even all?) of the demons ascending as well as the majority of gods coming into power, came into power in various parts of "the old world". But there are also gods prominently in power in the continent in countries other than Gardon and Bairn, and they need when they were established at least loosely done as well. So like. I have a lot of work to do, yet. I got eight hours' worth done today tho, which gets me close to striking distance of done! It's nearly an hour past my bedtime meaning two consecutive days of 5 hours of sleep.
Productive days, mind you (well, kinda--largely networking? Which I consider productive), but still. |
