Feeling sluggish

I hate feeling sluggish!

Today I'm feeling sluggish again. This has been an on and off thing for the past few months. Before summer break, I had assumed it was because I was exhausted from doing a lot of school projects and constantly worrying about whether I'll make the project's deadline. Yet, I've been getting 9 hours or sleep each day and when I wake up, I feel sluggish. This normally carries up until the evening time. At about 9 p.m. I start to wake up. This leads to me being up until about 3-4 a.m.

At the moment I'm feeling drowsy despite the fact that I just woke up at around 11 a.m.

You know, usually this is what causes me to not work on drawing of animating. I guess I would consider this a lack of motivation, when it reality I'm actually just very tried. I wonder how long this has been going on. Perhaps I should exercise to get some blood flowing. I'll wait a while because I just showered.

On to my day!

Well, yesterday...or rather at around 12 midnight, I was working on a few sketches. I'm actually pretty happy with a few. When it comes to presenting anything, I realize I work fairly slow. I don't personally like it because I take so many breaks. Well, actually, sometimes I can complete something in one sitting. I guess it depends.

Also, I completed the blanket. I can't post a picture on facebook because I forgot to take a picture before giving it to my sister .__. I'll have to find another way to get a picture of it.

These past few days, the weather has been so nice. Sometimes I feel like a cat. I just want to stretch out in lie on the floor where the sun is beaming through the window.

Hm...typing this is bringing my energy level up!

Oh! You know, now that I'm thinking about it, I wonder if this is a the effect of not having coffee. I haven't had coffee in about a month of two. I once read that it's common to have this kind of side effect lol caffeine sounds like an addition. It has withdrawal symptoms. The most common is feeling drowsy. Eventually I believe this effect will wear off.

I use to also drink Tai Chi green tea. It's recommended to have a cup everyday, which I did. Green tea has caffeine it in. It's a natural caffeine though. Since Tai Chi green tea is pretty expensive (about $17 per box), I bought a different brand of green tea. I don't think it's true green tea though. There's a huge difference in the taste.

Thinking on that, I can believe I'm feeling the effects lol So I've been thinking to water and/or chamomile tea. I also have these passion berry tea leaves which my older sister got me...I believe for Christmas lol the good thing is that I don't think it expires. I haven't had any because I still need to purchase a tea pot with strainer. I found a very pretty one on amazon, but I'm saving up money so I'll have to wait to get one.

All of that aside, I can see that autumn is near! It's creeping in closer and closer despite the temperature outside. I love the fall! The colors of the leaves on the trees are very beautiful to look at. There's only a hint of orange and red on some trees and others are still green. The weather is fluctuating between chilly and warm.

Oh! Speaking of weather, it makes me think of global warming. I'm a bit at ease with the change in weather. I read that this isn't anything new to earth. It's happened in the past, the fact that the earth tilts on it's axis. Supposedly this brought about the ice age. There is an insane increase in hurricanes, tsunami's and other natural disasters. That's the part I don't like.

Yet thinking on it, it became obvious that despite those events, humans are still here. Which mean some people survived all of those hardships. With events like this, new land will surface, or even old lands! This is why some people believe Atlantis will resurface. Last year there was an island that surfaced from the water. There was an article posted online about it. Honestly, it looked pretty eerie to me lol But it was definitely an island.

Also, due to the earthquake in Japan on March of 2011, some continents have moved closer together.

I veered off topic! lol

Anyway, the weather is nice. No one else is home but me, so it's really quiet. I really enjoy moments like this. Perhaps I should take a nap and enjoy it while I can! :)
