Hi fellow Hiveians,

Today I wanted to reflect on how we can be mentally tired but also need to clear our minds with not just sleep

Tired but Need to Write

We've had quite a bit of our fair share of sickness roll on through our house, it's been a hell of a past few weeks lol. We might be getting back to normal and away from this mess but one of the things that has suffered, besides my ability to get a solid nights sleep, is getting some time aside to write!

I just posted the other day about how I have managed to maintain three years of posting something to the blockchain every day. This has been a wonderful experience for me, as it allows me to catalog not only my thoughts but also one of my other passions, photography. I take quite a few pictures on a week to week basis, depending on our level of activity! I haven't been able to keep up with some of that though, because of the annoying plague that we have been stricken with hahaha.

We spend quite a bit of time, as the average person, in a healthy state of body and mind. This is one of those things that I find quite interesting because we absolutely take advantage of that! We don't realize simple things like being healthy, sickness free and all of the things our bodies and minds are able to do when we are in a relatively optimal state.

This also makes you think and realize why there is such a focus on making people sick, fat and unhappy. If you can take away their health then many other things fall to the wayside for the average person. They don't pursue their passions or hobbies if they are too busy trying to get better.

That wasn't the intent of the post but with this one, I'm just running with it. This is a bit of a free-flowing post, not like many of mine are not, but this one was me getting to my laptop with the intent of posting some pictures and writing something about them. It veered away from that a little bit, but I'm still able to at least get the pictures put up lol

With the sickness we've been dealing with, comes lots of waking up in the middle of the night and interrupted sleep. That doesn't jive well in a number of ways on working or doing other things, like my catharsis ability to do some writing for Hive. Luckily the other day I got a bit of a break in the insanity, got the family to sleep early and churned out a couple posts. It was fortuitous indeed because the following 2 nights were miserable, getting 3 hours of sleep per night hahaha fucking wild.

I wouldn't have it any different though, it's the sacrifices we make for the kids. They don't feel good and they wake up cranky and miserable, wake us up and we have to do our best to hold our heads at a reasonable level and help get them feeling better and back to sleep so that we can all get more sleep than what we've managed to thus far. With that comes quite a bit of catching up on sleep to do but I also get frustrated when I'm not able to put out a post or two for Hive so I made it a point to suck it up, get up and do some writing even though I'm exhausted. I've grown accustomed to this flow in my life so much that yes it's exhausting not getting all the sleep, but at the same time I feel like I'm missing out if I don't do something 3 or 4 days a week.

I was only going to write one post tonight, but I'm on a little bit of a roll with some energy reserves so I'm going to say fuck it and do two tonight! Fend off the insanity for a little bit longer with some mental catharsis lol
