Hi, I'm brand spanking new to HOP, never even new it existed until I stumbled upon it recently. Only just starting to get my sea legs as far as the technology thing goes. Just typed poi into a search engine and BAM, Here I am. And right glad I am too. Been spinning for years on and off, started in South Africa and the enthusiasm kinda waned once I got to the UK and refused to leave the warmth of indoors for months. Years later I am regaining my passion and learnig to accept that 26 degrees celcius is warm.
Think Hop is amazing, looking forward to learning and living and loving and growing.

what I did when I was in SA as it was way too hot for me to sleep , is I put a fan on me all night. It chilled me just enough to sleep with a light blanket that I could snuggle into and sleep very comfortably

I had a berocca so not feeling so faint, but I could defenitly still use a nap
Fat chance though, at this rate I'm not even going to be able to get a lunchbreak in! "I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty, every day,and if you can source your own life from its presence.." - Oriah Mountain Dreamer

That sucks!!! I sometimes take naps during lunch time.
We'll try and keep each other awake, because I'm to busy to take a lunch time nap.

Monday's should be made into recovery days instead of work days

yes..but if it were I do believe I wouldn't use it for recovery and Tuesday would need to be a recovery day
I have made a firm decision this weekend to have a dvd and pyjama day. Lots of snacks, duvet,maybe even some sparkling grapejuice! "I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty, every day,and if you can source your own life from its presence.." - Oriah Mountain Dreamer

I've calmed down now. I go big on Friday and then it kinda tapers down to Sunday, but judging by the way I feel today, I need to calm down some more.

I can't blame them, I'm usually the instigator

Too hard?? Never! Well...maybe a little
I have no doubt in my mind that my immune system is not exactly up to scratch because of my behaviour...

Maybe it's just your body's way of telling you to take a time out, or maybe not. I'm just typing thoughts as they come into my head, which could be dangerous...so I'll stop now
