Sleepless in Siam

It's been a long time since I got a decent nights sleep. With the rain getting steadily heavier the amphibian population has been getting steadily larger. And Louder. What was a gentle lullaby has become a cacophony, though it's been getting gradually better for two reasons, one I found my zinc and magnesium Tablets. The other is, I am now pushing myself so hard in the gym that my body shuts down every chance it gets, although for some reason, no matter how tired I am getting into bed, it takes the guts of 3 hours before I'm in the land of nod. At least I get to catch up in the afternoons. It's important for a fighter to sleep in the afternoon but the trick is not to overdo it or you'll be up all bastard night. And there's not much to do in the middle of the night except fantasize about frog torture.
Well, my plan kind of back fired. The mystery scratching in the attic turned out to be be two giant bleeding lizards. I think there gecko's but I don't really know much about reptiles. Except that two big specimens surprising you on you way out the door will proper scare the bejeezus out of you.
I'm lying on my mattress now and my neck is hanging. Grappled with two of the better guys at the gym today. One who has a ton of experience and the other makes up any lack of experience in brute strength. Great for the training but it's murder on poor old me. And boy do I feel old. I've also developed a sprain in my foot and I've no idea why. A lot of injuries tend to clear up overnight and I really hope this foot is one of them.
Two of the lads are fighting next Monday but if I'm being honest I doubt I can afford the time away from training. Going to the fights involves at least 24 if not 36 hours away from the camp. I might feel differently by next week but already the inner demons have got a hold on my confidence and are trying to crush it. I'd give anything to hear the words, 'Don't worry man, you smash him for sure', in a Brazilian accent.
That's it for today, I'm off to a barbecue. It's a hard life. :D
