How much is too much?

For sleep, I mean.

I slept for 9 solid hours but feel worse today than I did yesterday - is that normal? My brain is pulsing and wants to rip out of my skull, no amount of stoopid painkillers helps either (the UK drugs are still not here, grraaaahh!). Did I oversleep? I don't remember waking up in a pretzel either...

So yeah it's a warm sunny Friday and I am miserable with pain. Booo.

I added to my credit-card debt last night and bought a new pair of leather walking shoes, flat ones for my fussy feet - can't walk to work in a dress and Nikes, can I? Well I could, white tube socks and all. Then I'd have to kill myself and that's no good.

The thing is, I can't wear cheap shoes, I just can't. They wreck my arches, ankles and knees - so up the footwear chain I go, ka-chinng!

However, judging by the current poll I'm not out of the ordinary or anything. No debts other than the car that Vegas and I just bought, which will hopefully last for a few years after it's paid off. Bah it's only money, right?

*goes off to make a cup of instant coffee cuz it's a loser of a day*

I do think there is such a thing as too much sleep. My doctor once told me I was going to not live such a long life if I didn't start getting 9-10 hours a sleep a night and he actually mailed me a book about it to my home. Needless to say I fired him! Jerk!

Enjoy your day! And those new leather shoes.

I added my debt last night too, in preparation for this move, and honestly? It's not so bad.

Not so bad at all.

ha!

Oh debt. I had none. Now I have some...but it is what it is. Gotta move after all!

Do you want my manolos? :P

KA said...

Actually yeah, if you do sleep too long you will wake up feeling more tired. Im no doctor but I did like this 12 hours sleep before (I swear!) and waking up feeling like shit buuuuttt....I did however had some partying done BEFORE that 12 hours sleep so I dunno........

VIMH, I know eh? I'm all about being classy... *snicker*

1218, what strange advice! I agree that an average of 8 is necessary for most people, but some do well with 6 and some need 9ish. But to die early from less than 10? hoboy!

Deutlich, what did you get?!

PrincessB, what are manolos? At the risk of sounding like a complete idiot *blush*

Tin ma'am, I wish I had your body biorythm, you lucky woman! sigh. I need 8, I really do. I rarely get 8!

C.Drama, yeah that makes sense: too much of a good thing is NOT a good thing. Damn alarm clock that never went off!!

Shoes! Ridiculously expensive, impractical, lovely shoes! Manolo Blahniks!

And you aren't sounding like an idiot. I should not know what these are. Seriously...Ridiculous how expensive they are.

Technodoll said...

PrincessB, if only I could afford such luxuries LOL! but then again summer is here = bare feet in the grass... aaahhhh. Bliss.

prin said...

I have picky feet too...

And a house and car and man-friend far far away. (i.e. debt city)

Lola Smiles said...

gotta be nice to them feet! :)

the bank owns me. *sigh*

Technodoll said...

Prin, Lola: they can have our money but not our souls! nevah!

Um... Yum! said...

We usually feel like crap after getting a lot of sleep because your body finally has time to heal itself, and when it heals itself, you get sick actually. I know that sounds contradictory and weird, but that's what happens.

And quality of shoes are oh so important. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Technodoll said...

Um Yum, I hadn't though it that... why is it so though? Like a kick-back reflex?

About the shoes: I will never go cheap again... the ensuing pain is just not worth it.

*nods sagely*

New shoes??? That always puts me in a good mood :D

My student loans have caused me to have huge debt, and then with the hopes of a new house soon...yeah, debt is my best friend, lol.

I need at least 8 hours of sleep as well...hardly ever get it, but after a week of less than 8 hours, I feel like crap...

Money spent on shoes that don't hurt your feet and enable you to refrain from being a fashion victim are ALWAYS worth it.

I do think there is a thing as too much sleep. Sometimes I get too much, I don't feel rested at all. But mostly it's the other way around!

Technodoll said...

HO, at least your studies have given you the freedom of education and a bright career at your fingertips! Am crossing my fingers for you that the perfect house becomes available for you... because it will, you know ;-)

Rebecca, AMEN! I'm done twisting my ankles in the name of fashion. Who needs to be in a walker at 55? LOL!
