Hello, Agent! *big hug*

I am doing great, thank you. I am very tired, but other than that I am good. I am looking forward to this evening and my day off tomorrow, so hopefully the day will pass quite quickly. :-)

Glad to hear you are doing well, and that the drugs are out of your system. It's good that you treated yourself a little, people deserve some nice games now and then. As for the ninjas, I am sure I don't know what you mean. :-)

Glad to hear you are doing okay.

What is the "one game" that you are deciding on?

It should be morning all over the US now, or at least past midnight, which is technically morning. :-)

How is the puppy training going? I am glad you are all enjoying it. I hope you have a very pleasant weekend, and a very relaxing one.

Saturday night is my romantic evening with my partner, so that will be fun, and Sunday is my one day off a week, and we will probably just spend the day together and relax and have some fun. Maybe some horse riding if the weather is nice, and maybe do some more gardening. Other than that it will just be a nice restful day.

Hurm apropos of nothing.

Were there similar accusations and much pointing of fingers at the 360 and PS3 having performance issues with the most demanding games right after being released? Because I don't quite remember that being an issue back then. Whereas the xbone and ps4 have been described as having underwhelming hardware for most games, current and future from day one.

Hi, akhliber ;-) Good that your mind is your own (and not that other fella's). Are you normally such an early riser, or is this a sign of the mania? Apologies for being a tad direct (tell me to bugger off, if you want), but I find the subject interesting after reading about your experiences yesterday. Whichever, its good to have an arse-kicking, ready for anything attitude to any day ;-)

Training is going great. Keeps me busy during the days with him, and he absolutely loves training. He seems to like the praise involved as much as he does the treats. He's growing so fast, he'll likely overpower my wife in a month's time, so we're quite excited that he's taking so well to training and that he seems so determined to learn how to be a proper gentleman. :)

Sounds like a perfect weekend! Gardening is something I always wanted to get into but never did. I always blamed my allergies for not being able to, but I used the same excuse for never having pets as well, and my allergies haven't really been a wreck since we got the little guy. I think I was just so used to them being severe as a kid and always expected them to be. So who knows, maybe gardening isn't out of the question for good!

Do you train him with treats, or a clicker, or with another method? I hope the training keeps going well and that he will be a proper gentlepuppy. :-)

I am lucky enough to not have any allergies, so gardening has never being a problem. I find it quite relaxing, and a lot of fun when doing it with my partner. With my busy work schedule these last few weeks we have not really had time to give it some attention, but hopefully over the next few weeks we can get it all lovely and full of lots of pretty flowers.

Oh right! I forgot to hug you ,''',,',:-O *Triple-sized super happy mornoon hug*

Glad to hear you are great, despite your tiredness. Hope you have the best weekend :-)

Hm... I'll have to ask Owl if she knows anything... She tells her trusted Agent everyth.... oh wait... she is in on it!! ,',','',',:-O

BUGGER OF--okay, that just feels silly. I figured I'd at least *see* if I wanted to tell you to bugger off. ;) I don't mind at all, I actually prefer directness and my own curiosity often catches others off guard, so I'm the last to ever be offended by direct questions.

I'm most often up this early these days, but I also sleep an average of 3-4 hours a night, and when I have the discipline to, I stick to a polyphasic cycle of one 3 hour nap and 2 or 3 twenty minute naps throughout the day. Certainly not a sleep schedule that works for everyone, but I've never needed more than about 5 hours a day, and lately I find that to be a bit too much in general (I'll end up more tired from over-sleeping than from under-sleeping sometimes, so I try to strike a balance. Plus, I hate missing life, so sleep is still something I take to reluctantly, kind of like when I was a toddler.)
So my sleep schedule leaves me awake for most of the day, and I've found this gives many the impression that I'm either always up too late, or waking up really early, or both. I think it's more that I've just got the freedom to sleep when my body demands it, which is something I likely don't appreciate as much as I should. :)

Where's my cup of coffee and morning hugs?

*big happy return hug*

I am sure my weekend will be lovely, they usually are. :-)

Yes, Owl will know, but if she tried to point the finger at me then don't believe her, she is just making it all up about me gifting games. :-)

I have no coffee, as I don't like it, but I can offer a hug?

*big morning hug*

It started all of a sudden about a year ago after a pot of strong black coffee with a friend. All I can say is the pain was excruciating, something like John Hurt's character must've felt just before he 'gave birth' to mini metal chops in Alien. I've had one similar and two lesser episodes since then and now have a very respectful attitude to coffee. My personal evolution, I guess. Bodies change as time passes. I drink lots of water now. Not as exciting, but pretty healthy.

Hi D. How're you?

I am very good, thank you. A little tired, but good.

How are you, do you have a nice weekend planned?

Nothing planned.

good morning! *give everyone a firm but tender cuddle*

Hope you are all doing well? (I only get to pop in quickishly because I'm leaving for the grandparents in half an hours's time :D )
