Tired

One thing I've noticed as of late. I'm tired a lot. I think its a couple of things that do it. One, you have the crazy schedules that people do around here. You're up till like 2 in the morning, you've of eaten dinner at 10. Then everyone's up and at work at like 730 the next morning. The afternoon nap is what saves people I guess. Though it doesn't seem the healthiest way of doing things... I've noticed a lot of the people here have grey in their hair long before you would expect to see it for their age. I think its the crazy work schedule. Now I don't do the whole 4 hours of sleep thing, or at least not when I can get away with a proper 7 or 8. Yet the messed up sleep schedules that I've been adapting to have certainly taken their toll. Also, its the heat. I have not experienced heat like this before, its just crazy. Our 'hot' days back home have nothing on what it is like here. We think its scorching when it reaches 33 degrees, but how about adding 10 or 15 degrees to that? And then add in a whole ton of humidity. Now thats hot. I sometimes wonder why people moved to this place in the first place all those many thousands of years ago. It seems kinda silly. Did they not realize that the summer was going to be like this forever? Yet they are here, and in response, now a days anyways, their is somewhat of an exodus out of this place come July\August. Actually the end of July seems like a very popular time to leave, its going to get downright empty here.
