Day 44 Update

I really need to get around to making a post here.
I have had a super chaotic week. With the Jazz Festival going on, I have been extremely busy. I've been flexing my naps a lot, to accommodate all the things I need to do this week, like gigs, and attending concerts. It's starting ot have a toll on me. I'm getting worn out, but I think I'm as worn out or tired as I would be normally if I slept like most people. Totally worth it though to see Jeff Healey, and Herbie Hancock though. I have another 3 concerts left, then it's the long weekend, so hopefully I can rest up a bit there. I also have a funeral to attend on Friday, on one of my few days off jazz.
This weekend too, I'm performing Saturday, and Sunday is Canada Day, and I have a kayak lesson on Monday, and I have to be somewhat available to do a story for the Edmonton Journal. Sometimes it's hard being famous. Although it's not hard to inflate my own ego, or pretend that I'm famous.
I'm quite certain if I can successfully survive this week while being polyphasic, I should be good to continue indefinitely. After this week, I'm not worried about forced nap shifting or anything until August, when I go on vacation. I'll have to explain to the Friend in Vancouver I'm visiting what my sleep schedule is like so he knows what to expect.

On a side note, I have found a rip in my napping blanket. That makes me very very sad. It's a custom made "Grandma Quilt". I'll have to get my mom to patch it before the tear gets too large, and I'll have to get in the habit of folding my blanket after every nap, so it doesn't get snagged on anything anymore. Those are the sorts of things I worry about more now with my sleeping pattern... It's great.


EDIT:
Do to a request, I am intending to write a summary of my Polyphasic experience to date. I've had complaints that it's a little difficult to go through all my blog entries to get to the meat of it. I am intending to do this, but it's not going to happen until next week. I just don't have the time to spend on it currently.
