Well, my legs and lower back are sore, but not as sore as Greider Lake made me. It's mostly calves and below; the main stuff on the thighs I'm not even sure was from the hike. But, glutes and lower back? Definitely the hike, and definitely sore. Since I had a walking stick, my right hand is feeling...well, not sure what the word would be. Fatigued? It's feeling identical to my feet.
You know, my legs get sore. My feet don't. They get beat up, so to speak. Maybe you could call it bruised? Not visibly so, not on my hand and not on my feet either. But that's the closest word I can think of. Not the same thing as being sore, but still in pain, just a different type of pain.
Overall, though, it's a good sore, not a bad sore.
The main thing is, I'm dead tired right now. I've got a lot of mafia to do today. I also am thinking that, if I have some spare time, what I'll do with that one story I'm planning on, is write out what I've already mentally worked out: a FULL profile of what EACH character did prior to the story, then with how they contribute to the story, and about when. Vague, rough details on the latter bit for some though. And because my notes aren't fully prepared nor fully organized, I may need to tweak what I've mapped out a little once I've actually done the work of compiling said notes, but I think I can make it work.
The main restriction will be whether I have the time for that, today, because today, mafia takes priority. And before I can do mafia, first I need a good, preferably long, nap. At least half an hour, maybe even an hour and a half. This might seem like time wasted to you, but trust me. I know what I need. If I don't take a nap now, I'll crash at around 8, maybe 9. I sometimes can push it back: 10, 11, even had it at midnight once! Or maybe 1 AM.
But there will come a point where I am so exhausted, I cannot work with any lucidity. That's not a point I can afford to reach. Tonight, to get what I want done, I may need to stay up until 3 or 4 AM. So, while I'll lose .5-1.5 hours (ideally, anyway--I sometimes overshoot), I'll gain a minimum of 2, maybe even 3-5 hours of productive work time before I need to sleep.
...And for those who might worry about my health for not getting enough sleep: 4 AM as a bedtime is fine. My body only needs 6 hours to function adequately, and if I went to bed at 4 and woke up at 10, that'd do the trick. I can sometimes wake up as late as noon, when going to bed as early as 1. Not this week (timing doesn't work out for either today or tomorrow), but that gives an idea of the range. I always get at least what I need, sometimes more. (I do tend to aim for 7.5. 8+ just feels like time wasted. I do it anyway, because I am not at the point where I am using every minute available to me productively, but it's never felt necessary, except sometimes when sick and not always even then. 7.5 does fine.)
Soyeah. Nap time. May give a second blog later, we'll have to see.
