I Need Sleep....

In the last 36 hours I have only had 3 hours of sleep. So as you could guess, I'm pretty much in a zombie state right now. Bad thing is it'll be at least 2 more hours before I can go home and go to bed. Yesterday I couldn't sleep so I got up and went into town and help our SWAT team leader get things ready for the upcoming SWAT school that we are putting on beginning on Monday. It'll be a long week, but it'll be a little easier being on the instructor side instead of the student side. Another team member and I are in charge of physical fitness for the week and I got nominated to do the dreaded "gas mask run", so I've been trying to get ready by running with my gas mask. I hope I'm ready. But for now I just would like to sleep...............

Are Emotions Contagious?

Have you ever noticed how your emotions are effected by those around you? It seems if you are around people who are in bad moods, it tends to put you in a bad mood also. Just the same, if the people around you are in good moods, then things seem to be good for you also. It does seem that negative emotions are more contagious than positive ones. I wonder why that it? Ever notice how it's easier to be in a bad, or negative mood, than being in a good mood. Is it just human nature to accept the negative things in the world. A good example is how people tend to "blow off" a compliment, but tell them something negative about them and they will take it to heart.

It's Been A While.....

I haven't gotten to post in quite a while. No excuses, I've just been preoccupied with other things. Spending a lot of time on Ebay. Plus I've been on midnight shift (11:00pm-7:00am) so I haven't been totally together. My schedule usually consist of getting home around 7:30am - 8:00am and then sleeping till around 12:30pm - 1:30pm and then heading to the gym to work out for about an hour and a half. Then it's back home to have supper with the family and then lay around and try to take a nap before I head back to work at 10:00pm. The week-end is a little different since I don't go to the gym, but most of my time I feel like I'm in a haze, never totally awake and alert. Good thing is only two more weeks and I'll rotate to 3:00pm - 11:00pm and maybe I'll get some better sleep.

Today, actually yesterday, Friday, we had SWAT training. My morning started at around 5:30am getting ready for the day and then once we started we went on a two mile run and then the rest of the day was spent doing live fire drills with long guns. My legs are starting to get stiff this morning.

Will try to start back posting more often..........
