yuuago✿ Mail service has resumed in Fort McMurray. Mum's going to cancel our mail forwarding tomorrow. So, new stuff should come to my address as usual. Might be a little slower than the typical 2 weeks due to backlog, but we'll see.
✿ As soon as I found out about resumed delivery, I dropped wayyyyy more money than I should have on a cologne order. (A full-sized bottle of "Horse" by FSW, among other things. LOVE it.) Whatever, whatever, I do what I want. It'll probably arrive in time to be a birthday present to myself. Whoo!
✿ I'm going to be working at site again starting tomorrow. I'm so glad. Except for the fact that it means going back to a 5AM get-up schedule, but eh. Being back at work was awesome in general, but I was in the town office; it just isn't the same as being at my own desk. (Even if I appreciated that the cubicle setup I was borrowing had a FUCKING SWEET dual-monitor setup. Now I understand why people love that so much.) ...Plus, it'll be nice working when there isn't a ton of construction around; there was smoke damage in the town office, and the ceiling had to be replaced, and all the walls were covered in plastic, and there was some kind of weird fan thing going... it was distracting. xD
✿ Shaeiira and Shoop finished the sketches I commissioned them to do of Niko, and I can't stop staring at those drawings, eeeee. I kind of want to put them on my igadget so I can stare at them alll the time. Sigh! <3 (Maybe I should get Jureeya to draw my dorky OC too... hmm, that's an idea.) And now I want to write so much self-indulgent nonsense with this character, ahaha. Well, maybe I'll do it... I mean, as far as SSSS's worldbuilding goes, he's a convenient OC to use if I want to write something set in the remote Finnish outposts, ahh. *_*
✿ Speaking of Stand Still Stay Silent, the most recent updates have me rolling around making squeaky noises. Lalli's learning Swedish! EEE! Seeing him being able to talk* with Emil (well okay, and Sigrun too) was so great, even if it was very briefly and in a work context. I'm delighted. (I wonder if Emil has been learning some Finnish? AHH I hope so, but we'll see). Hmmm, curious about how their relations might change, now that they can verbally communicate a little bit... of course, those two have managed to get along so well even without words, but still.
✿ This entry was supposed to be short. ...Oops.

Date: 2016-06-17 03:59 am (UTC)-Go for a bedtime of like 10:30 or earlier. Pick a time, stick with it. Don't be an idiot like me and stay up beyond it. ...This is probably the most important one, honestly.
-And don't screw up your sleep schedule too badly on weekends/vacation by staying up until buttfuck in the morning. Try to be in bed by like, 11:30 max. You'll usually start getting tired by then, anyway, if you're like me. (I didn't stick to my sleep schedule while I was off work during evac, and I am paying for it now, so much. Oh my gods.)
-Use multiple alarms, preferably multiple types of alarms (clock and phone, for example). Put them on the loudest and most obnoxious setting possible. Make sure to set them away from your bed (across the room) so you have to physically get up to turn them off.
-If that isn't enough, have additional alarms timed 5 minutes from your get-up time, perhaps even louder and more obnoxious than the other ones.
-Set out your clothes the night before, and put them within easy visibility/reach, so that you have NO EXCUSE to not get dressed right away (thus, no excuse to flop back into bed). Pack your bag the night before, so you can just grab it and go. If you're taking a lunch with you, prepare that the night before too.
...orz You'll get used to it eventually! But yeah, it's no fun. ;p
