I'm always breathing fine in reality, but my half-asleep brain becomes absolutely terrified. The one time I tried to let it wash over me, thinking I'd just slip off into sleep, it quickly became exponentially worse. Yep that's what it's like for me too when I get it falling asleep. I feel like I'm being compressed and there's a loud humming sound. Super unsettling.

Torn Quad Jones posted:I guess im the only one who learned to enjoy sleep paralysis. Was scary at first thought I was being abducted by aliens or ghosts trying to kill me. Found out what it was and its loving great now its the most relaxed I have ever felt completely awake and just floating in an abyss away from my body Id do it everyday if I could. Beaten fuuuuuuck I thought I was the only one that actually enjoyed it! It's like being in a scary movie, but just a lot more depth. After a while, you realize that nothing you see can actually hurt you. Another thing that really blew my mind was falling asleep straight into sleep paralysis, all with the same quality of feeling paralyzed and then ultimately falling asleep, all while maintaining conscience.

Ugh, I have chronic sleep issues. Sleep to much, sleep to little, night terrors, insomnia, sleep apnea, and so on. Probably explains why I am in a crab rear end mood half the time. Its not that I have a poor attitude, its because I am so god drat tired.

And I had a Grand Prix GT with cooling system issues. If you farted incorrectly it would over heat. I replaced all the cooling system in it plus new head gaskets. Never did fix it, but it would do it completely at random, and never had a specific pattern. gently caress that car. gently caress GM cars.

I sleep maybe 6 hours a night if I'm lucky. It's been way less for a while now. Haven't had sleep paralysis, exploding head syndrome or sleep apnoea in a while though thankfully. Last night I had yet another poo poo night sleep. Combination of a lot on my mind, and I tried out a new coffee in the afternoon. It wasn't the stimulant effect. Too much coffee and I get as itchy at all hell all over.cursedshitbox posted:My thoughts these days. Yeah me too. gently caress cars. Not literally. Have to fix the outstanding issue on the Jeep in the next couple of weeks somehow so it's okay to go on a haul though hundreds of km of hot nothingness. Going to be cutting it fine.

The Lancia is at the auto-electricians. The high stop light we had installed is cutting into the voltage incorrectly, so the indicators don't work when you have the brakes on. The Celica is being prepared for its first trip around the Coromandel at some point in the next few weeks. I've also got a new garage goal in mind but I have to get another job first. I really need to make a garage thread or a YouTube channel or something.

What are you doing for ignition? If you have Pertronix or similar, I've heard that they crap out at the worst time. If you have a spare module, bring that. If you use points, grab a cheap points set and throw it in the tool box I guess, although I've never had points just up and fail on me. I guess it's more of a problem with performance motors and high power coils.

Yeah, I've got a Compu-fire I installed a few months ago. You make a good point - I'll be sure to throw a points set in the glovebox just in case.

First time it bit me in the rear end was at 1 AM 10 miles outside of Sunset Point rest stop in August. It may have been 1 AM but Jesus gently caress it was still 95 degrees and a long lonely walk.

Happy belated Thanksgiving, AI. I was visiting my family in CT all week so didn't even get a chance to check in with you all. Upon my return to work I was given notice that my most productive employee is leaving. That will leave me with two full time and one part time employees when I once managed ten people. The new president of the company has decided that we're doing a "good enough" job with what we have so we're just going to remain completely underwater until the entire loving department decides to leave...which shouldn't be long, as about half of it already has. In short,

Adiabatic posted:In dead Uncle news, the hearing and judgement for the executor of the house and all my grandma's poo poo is on Wednesday. We're hoping that the judge allows my lovely sociopathic aunt to have executor-ship with the stipulation that it has to be bonded. That way we don't have to deal with it, and she has to answer to the bond-holders for every decision and can't run the estate into the ground like she has her own finances. If not, we'll dump money everywhere until the stupid oval office dies and then give it to her son. So the hearing was today, not tomorrow. My parents just got out of court. The judge had my aunt's number before the thing even started (she was in blue jeans and wasn't respectful at all) and they didn't even have to bring up my uncle. It went that well. If she wants conservatorship (not executorship whoops) she has to: 1. Be bonded (if she does anything illegal or immoral the bond company is liable) 2. Pay rent at my grandmother's house instead of taking it over rent-free 3. Sell my grandmother's car instead of driving it around 4. Appeal to the court directly for any type of action aside from paying bills There's also the issue of the will. The original is in all likelihood in a lock-box at the bank, and we were worried she'd destroy it the moment she found it. The judge ordered that either my mother or my cousin (dead uncle's son) be with my aunt the first time she opens it. Now if we can just settle the wrongful death thing and figure out who murdered my uncle without the jail successfully covering up anything... We will have to wait for the results of the SLED investigation before we know which way that's going. Turns out there may be justice in the world.

My dad is really losing his mind sadly. Started going downhill big time since he retired after Easter this year Fun things he is doing: - Leaving the front door unlocked and wide open - Leaving milk products out on the kitchen bench, forgetting to put them away. - Leaving fridge door open - Giving me a birthday card in December. My birthday is in July. - Sleeping till 2pm, then watching the TV for most of the time while is awake, on the most annoying lovely TV Home shopping channels - Supposedly getting paranoid thinking that mum and I are hiding his ute keys as "we don't want him to drive" As well as other poo poo. Time for respite care for the old bastard, but first mum and I need to get power of attorney on him

I've been in a funk since poo poo went full retard bad at work and I had to work on my dads friends lovely car. When both those things hit it was like I hit a brick wall on everything else. Trying to chill out this week and relax after work. No craziness for a little bit.

My grandfather is having bouts with Alzheimer. It's really tough to watch and he's self aware of it. It doesn't help that my grandmother is a nutcase and is digging her heals in the sand whenever talk comes up to move them out of their house and to a place that will offer more appropriate care. My mother is basically on call 24/7 when ever poo poo goes tits up with them. She's trying to run a one man business and doesn't have time for that poo poo and her brother is gently caress all useless and just gaslights her whenever she asks for help.

It's almost a tautology isn't it  Thankfully it's just something the auto electricians wired in wrong for compliance (needed a high stop light in the boot) instead of being FSF.E: gently caress it, when I'm employed again I'm buying a GoPro and some decent mounts. I live near one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world and the roads are amazing.
