Exhaustion :or: Know Your Limits

Let me tell you youngins a story. I know some people in the class aren't freshmen and may already know this stuff, but Imma splain it all anyhoo.

So, I don't know about you but sometimes when I work on things, I just work on them. And keep going. And going. Until I'm done with it or too tired to continue. This can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending.

Once, after sophomore year I was so exhausted but I pushed myself to do things and then I puked. It was gross, and I'm still haunted by the memory. My goal since then has primarily been to just not get to the point of puking again

On Friday, I was in a bad place. the past two nights I had gotten barely any sleep, I sometimes forgot to eat BUT I got a lot of stuff done. And then at 6 Friday morning, as I was trying to finish stuff up, and it just wasn't safe to be still up. Like, I was potentially going to use a saw. and I could barely stand.

SO I left and slept for a day. Moral of the story, know your limits. Maybe don't keep going if you desperately need to recharge or whatever
