Me: wow I'm writing good stuff in this novel tonight, I think I'll just keep on trucking
My brain: dude it's 11pm and we're old, wrap it up
Me: come on I used to do all nighters all the time
Brain: you used to do handsprings too, until that last time
Knees: yeah fuck you for that, by the way

Fence: No, you can't, but give me a laugh anyway...
Still writing at 3am? Yeah, happened just last night. And I'm old.
Though I don't think that works in this case...
2 sec later; ZZzzzzz...

Knee: Where do you think you're going?
Since then I’ve made a few edits in excited bursts it action. If you feel like trucking, keep on trucking, I say!
Brain: it's 1130 why are we still up?
Me: because books!
Brain: oh, well then... Good night
Me: "reading" 10 pages without comprehending a thing I just read.
But it beats the alternative.
Truth
I am proof that two souls can live in one body: My 35year old brain soul and my 70 year-old achy body soul.
Something in the air last night, LOL.
also my back hurts at even the thought of doing handstands.
A sensei: “this is why I suggested ‘or you could just do pushups’.”
Me: “Yeah, forgot I’m in my 40s, not my 20s”
Sensei: “But your back remembers.”
I have never hated anyone more.
Brain 1: We finally got a good flow! Let's keep it up!
Brain 2: Our eyes are covered in a burning film, words have no more meaning, and would kindly be quiet?!
Body: Dude, that was 10 years ago.
Me: Right, so we're all rested and healed now.
Body: OK, set the alarm for our 5 AM workout
Me: Oh, yeah, forget it.
Those knees will take you down every time you try to act like you're 10 again
And the brain will shut it all down in a NY minute
As a poet, I too want to keep writing when in a groove
Praying for you my brother
Persevere🙏
Me: I wonder if I can still do that.
My Brain: You will die.
Me: Maybe just a cartwheel...
My Body: [Instantly twitches in pain.]
Me: Okay, okay... never mind.
Just wait until you experience the pleasures that await you in your 60s. (I’m looking forward to another spinal fusion this year.)
🤣Seriously, I did the exact same thing: considered leaving the desktop on but knew how I'd feel in the AM. Nope! My rescue crew is gonna have to finish that convo about planetary losses & how to fight the invaders tomorrow because I'll be toast if I stay up.
This morning, my shoulders feel like I had a round with Manny Pacquiao!
Weirdly, I could not do all-nighters in my 20s but now in my 30s I have to be careful to not just let them happen 😅
Yeah, I'm in my mid 40s now, and I wear arm/wrist braces to sleep and it's still worse.😩
- you can’t work all night and function the next day
- what you had for dinner shows up on the scale in the morning
- you can’t get off the couch without making some noise
After that, it’s all down hill.
Love staying up all night then see the glow of the sun rising.
Oh, wait…
After I decided at 11:30pm, that I was giving up and going to bed, I was hit with an idea....damnit brain.
