[splinten]

Yes, Dave.
I remember.
That is exactly why I want to check over your schedule before we implement anything.

[because Dave will OVERBOOK HIMSELF and then use loops to carry it off! which is not ok]

[parodeity]

cant tell you all my schedule but dont worry i wont overbook

[splinten]

How are you defining overbook.

[He'll accept this once it is clarified that 'not overbooked' in Dave's terms doesn't mean 'no more than seven loops a day']

[parodeity]

[ ummmmmmm ]

making myself too tired or stressed out

[splinten]

Interesting definition.
What does 'too' mean here as a qualifier?

[See this is it. This is why Dirk is bossy.]

[parodeity]

like enough that youd get pissed?

[splinten]

Ok.
Yeah, that's fine.
As long as you don't book yourself so much that I'd get mad at you for it we're good.

[parodeity]

i wont kill myself dont worry so much
my sleep schedule is more on the rails than its ever been in my entire history
have a little faith

[splinten]

I have a quantity of faith.
I have a larger quantity of past experience with your health choices.
But I do have faith you won't do anything that would worry me if I found out, since you've said that you won't. It's good.

[Dirk is making a choice to believe Dave won't break a promise to him after explicitly saying it. So he's okay.]

[parodeity]

hey
i never run myself so ragged i cant defend myself

[splinten]

That isn't what matters to me.

[parodeity]

oh
right
i know that

but like for arguments sake
what is a level you think isnt too tired then

[splinten]

Imagine a good, full day of doing things.
Physical things, like working on the farm, or intellectual ones like studying,
Work that's satisfying and enjoyable, or fun like messin' around with music.
You feel really content with everything you've done but you still have things to do tomorrow and that's exciting too.
Then you come home and relax for maybe an hour or two before we do dinner. You could do more, yes, but you want to rest and tone it down to easier activities. You've worked as much as you would ever ask anyone you love to work.
That's what isn't too tired.

[parodeity]

ok i think we have slightly different interpretations of the phrase sometimes but
im not working too hard

[splinten]

What's your interpretation?

[parodeity]

awake and well enough to defend myself in a fight

[splinten]

[Dave's Bro's definition.]

Right.
We should start trying to work with mine, maybe?

[parodeity]

i mean
maybe?
i like keeping busy to a certain extent
but logically probably youre right

[splinten]

Keeping busy isn't an issue.
My suggested idea of tiredness might not even work for you.

[parodeity]

no i mean
it sounds nice i just
the reasons it makes me wary are probably why youre logically the right one here
theres no reason to not commit to that kind of schedule

[splinten]

Hm.
Is there any way I can offer assist in makin' you feel less wary about it?
Like with food.

[parodeity]

youre already kind of working on it

[splinten]

Would that be also like I work on it with the food?

[parodeity]

no not at all
its more like
tuesday nights i guess
you give me a reason to hit pause on looping shit out sometimes

youre already kind of working on it

[splinten]

Ok, so we're ok?
God that sounds stupid. Yet it is what it is.
Tuesday nights things help on my end, so it feels like we're ok.
