So I am gonna be doing a random typing experiment, a spur of the moment creation within the project and the project itself is too. I may tell you what I had to eat, how I spent my day...who knows...but it will be a live update.
So I have been making changess in life today, well the second day of using my laptop on my desk at night instead of my bed as well.
I plan on going to bed around 2-3, it is 12:53 right now. If I start watching something else I will get carried away and stay up later however I just finished watching the latest episode of Pretty Little Liars so I feel accomplished having caught up slightly with the things I want to watch. There is a lot of noise coming from outside my room still as I am near other bedrooms so unfortunately it is hard to get to sleep until everyone else is sleeping anyway as the walls here are effectively non-existant. It is now 12:55. Hmm, so here is a food diary. I ate quite a lot today. For breakfast I had one fried egg, a few slices of tomato and a few slices of mushroom. For lunch I had a tortilla/wrap from Sainsbury's with a Doritos VERY nice but VERY hot BBQ dip. I do this because even though I seem to have a general problem sometimes with managing to swallow food due to the dryness of the food and/or my throat, it is more with bread type products. Hence why I stopped eating bread years ago although I do occassionally when I am very hungry which I regret immediately. But I do not miss it, bread never had a real taste and was only a carrier for food, hence the brilliant ideas of wraps, they are much thinner and easier to digest, although I do enjoy the really thick ones you can get too and these do not normally provide a challenge for me however just to make sure, I only usually eat wraps if there is some sort of lining available, dip, coleslaw, that kind of thing. So today I actually had both, I tipped some BBQ sauce and spooned some coleslaw onto my wrap. I broke up a chicken slice type product into pieces along with some leafy vegetables that were around I was done there. I selected some crisps which is always a challenge for me. I guess having been brought up on potato crisps most of the time it is no wonder I do not like them now usually, hence why Doritos are almost the only crisps I eat and almost the only ones I enjoy but Seabrook have some nice flavours. There was a Beef flavour but I wanted to stick with the Chives and cheese one this time. I put a few of the crisps in the wrap as I sometimes do just to give it a crunch but I always crush them a bit as they could pierce the wrap otherwise and so as to prevent any eating difficulties. I had a big chocolate bar today-Double Decker. I also ate a banana for it's magnesium. I do not like the taste of most of the common fruit really. I do not recall feeling too tired during the day which is incredible as I went to bed after 3 am again and first awoke at around 8 am. So the high amount of lunch time food may of helped, as I did also have some other crisps that were in a bowl for sharing, although they were not from a small sized packet, I did eat some more of them at random points throughout the day so I may of ended up eating 2 packets worth of crisps altogether. Again, my body fails to reflect this.
For dinner there were some vegetables that are not quite in my mind right now, along with chicken and I have a feeling something else I forgot. I think I had about 3 legs of chicken which is just about managable for me, which says a lot seeing as this is the man who can eat so much everyday but rather perhaps that is because I prefer to have a big lunch and a slightly smaller dinner and therefore can not eat so much at dinner but again that is not set, sometimes I am not doing anything perticularly active yet I am consuming food nonstop without a struggle.
Later on sometime between 8 pm-11 pm I ate a few sweets, a biscuit type product and some other snack like foods. I would say this is the most I have eaten in a week if not longer. I do not feel anymore alert than any other days really however I am not hitting my head on my laptop so perhaps that my performance is consistant with other days (Bearing in mind I am an insomniac so those other days are riddled with sleep problems too) is implying that despite an even more extreme lack of sleep, food has helped stabilise energy reserves and somehow override tiredness. It seems quite funny to me almost as if this was somebody else but I think it was around 2011 when I used to take naps. Now that could make sense in a way, I used to wake up early for college and given that I had no miraculous cure then (Or now) for insomnia, health problems, worries, stress etc etc I was having to not only continue to struggle each day to get up but now do it EVEN earlier so no wonder I collapsed. I can remember slightly how it often went. Sometimes I would be tired in the living room and sometimes I would purposely head upstairs for sleep and sometimes just for other reasons like to tidy my room or reasons unknown but regardless, I would usually just sit on my bed and sometimes fall asleep in an un sleep-like position or sometimes fully embrace the sleep. This was often after dinner if I remember correctly although maybe sometimes before or even both. I think I felt quite awful after, I am not sure how to explain it...but there was a weird feeling upon waking up.
Well it is 1:23 am now. I am not really feeling tired. I wanted to work on some new business ideas but I do not feel like it at the moment. I have some books to finish reading as well. I am actually feeling quite thirsty, maybe due to my heater. I have been drinking much more water in the last few years than I ever used to. As a child I only drank water if it was seriously hot.
All I was doing was moving around and taking items off my bed to put elsewhere and suddenly I was yawning. 1:45 am and I feel too tired to read, I think I will watch something instead if my laptop allows me too as the software was playing up recently. I will see if I can catch up on my Dragonball Z: Rock the dragon set as I am on disc 5 out of 9 now and I am desperate to hear how Frieza sounds on this dub as I can not remember. Ok, the disc had stopped whirring while I was typing the previous sentence. It looks like I may be up for a while as I tend to find it hard to go to bed earlier, I have gotten some practice in recently but I get caught up trying to fix the problem or finish whatever it is I am trying to do and ultimately I end up spending more time on it than other people but come closer to a solution than others sometimes due to sleep deprievation but again, randomly and most of the time I excel on little sleep, it has sadly simply become my life.
Ok, time to load VLC to see if it will play the dvd as I ordered The Company from Amazon a while ago and it still has not arrived so it might tomorrow and then I will be behind on dvds anymore, of course I do not have to watch them in one go in the sense I could watch 5 now and the rest months later but things stay in my head, I enjoy watching them of course but problem or joy, they all add up. Well VLC wants to update itself and it may present an oppurtunity to fix the glitches and the crashing the program has been suffering from lately so I am going to install it and hope that it does not take too long, almost 2 am now.
Well the disc would not load so I took it out and ended up looking at my reflection and noticing just how green my eyes were now (It is a common debate whether I have Hazel or Green eyes, answer-They change, I theorise depending on mood and perhaps other variables at times). I think I may go to bed soon, time-2:24 am.

It was around 3 am that I actually went to bed, with a few interuptions of late night thoughts getting me sitting up to reach for my phone to record them on a writing program.
