Daylight S(l)avings and Getting More Sleep

Changing our clocks back an hour may be a blessing to some; but for those of us (including me) that don't run by alarm clocks, but by body clocks, it isn't that much fun. I can't sleep in for the life of me. Even on weekends, I'm up (naturally) by 7 am and sometimes earlier. I can't complain because I really love the mornings. I feel that's the best part of the day and I love getting my start. This part of the year tends to make me extremely tired, though. I wanted to share with you all a cool article I found on getting more energy to be able to last throughout the day. Enjoy!

Wake up with More Energy

Remi Gaillard, the French Prankster

Chris stumbled upon these hilarious videos from a French prankster, Remi Gaillard. You can find more of them on YouTube, if you want. Caution: several of them contain crude subtitles. Anyway, enjoy! Here are some of our favorites!

And the best of all...

Swine Flu

So after a week long battle with swine flu, Amy and I are sitting here with cabin fever.

It all started on Monday when I didn't feel well enough and went into the doctors. They said I looked and tested okay, I got some meds, and was sent home. Half-way through the day Tuesday I suddenly started to feel nauseous. Wednesday I woke up feeling horrible, and went downhill from there.

Thursday was the worst possible day. Sleeping in 15-30min intervals, my body forcing any fluids out in any way possible sometimes at the same time, absolutely no energy to do anything. Worst. Day. Ever.

Luckily Amy never felt any of this, having avoided the majority of the disease suffering only from a sore throat and some fatigue. The angel took care of me thankfully and life was good.

Now we are stuck. stuck in this home. With the in-laws!
