Sleep 1

22:55 to 04:59

(6:03 hours)

Last night I was a bit tired again and to be honest I was surprised I managed to last so long before going to bed! I set my alarm clock for 5:00am this morning as I wanted to reduce my hours of sleep a bit.

Last night I remember waking up and looking at the clock a few times. I don't remember what time it was the first time, but the second time was about 3:30am and then I woke up again at 4:40am from a dream (which involved Yu Lee having a load of Heroin on her desk!). After that I dozed until 5:00am and got up shortly after my alarm.

I feel a little tired this morning but nothing too bad. Hopefully I will have a nap today due to the lower amounts of sleep!

Heroin

Tags: Yu Lee

Me and Yu Lee are sitting at our desks which are side by side as in real life, although the room that they are in is not the same. Yu Lee has some white powder on her desk and I ask her what it is and she says it is heroin!

She is doing some kind of experiment with it and dissolves it in water in a beaker, and is measuring some property of it. It looks like she is trying to increase the purity or something and she is recording some data and making graphs.

At some point when she is away from her desk I take it and when she gets back she is very angry with me and we argue and she takes it back.

She is processing some images from her experiment on the computer and trying to crop them. The way that she is doing this is by going to a web page where you upload images and then download a processed version. I tell her that I think it is stupid to be uploading pictures of illegal drugs anywhere because the site will have our IP address and will easily be able to trace them back to us, but she tells me not to worry.

Sleep 2

16:10 to 17:32

(1:21 hours)

Last night I slept a little bit less than the previous nights, and today when I came in from work I actually managed to fall asleep! It took me about 5 minutes to drift off and then I slept through for well over an hour. I remember towards the end being half asleep and thinking about work stuff.

About 10 minutes after I woke up Yu Lee came home with a nice dinner! I feel much better now that I've had a nap.

Sleep 3

22:45 to 04:56

(6:11 hours)

Last night I was planning on going to bed after 11, but Yu Lee was tired so in the end I went to bed with her. I definitely didn't fall asleep straight away and woke up periodically throughout the night.

At around 4:30 I woke up and then dozed for half an hour, and got up about 2 minutes before my alarm was due to go off.

Shovelling Shit

Me and Yu Lee are in the car driving home from somewhere, and the car is playing up. There are loads of problems but the only one I remember is that the left indicator wasn't working.

We arrive at home, but instead of being at my current house we are at York Avenue where I grew up.

Yu Lee struggles to find a space to park and we end up parking on the opposite side of the road to the house. As the car is playing up Yu Lee has some difficulty parking and nearly crashes into a parked car.

As we get out of the car, another car pulls up behind us and Duncan Wang from work gets out and I ask him "What are you doing here, Wang?" and he laughs and tells me he needs help with something. Yu Lee says that she's going inside to call a mechanic to have a look at the car.

Duncan opens the boot of his car and he has 3 or 4 large blue barrels inside. He takes the lid off one of them and tells me it is horse manure, and that he needs help transferring it into some smaller containers. He says "First I'll just move it into here" and grabs one of my neighbour's blue wheely bins and starts shovelling it in.

I tell him that the blue bin is just for bottles and cans and that he shouldn't put it in there and he says not to worry as it's only temporary while he transfers it.

I am not really happy about him using my neighbour's bin so I go to look for some containers to use instead. When I return he has emptied the bin into some small containers.

After that we both work together to transfer the manure into smaller containers using a shovel and a trowel, and even a dessert spoon! The smell is terrible and the decomposing shit looks disgusting, and a few times I nearly vomit and have to stop and look away.

After that I wake up naturally in my bed at 4:45am.
