Right. I've been lying here in the dark for half an hour. Time to get up and do something productive while I'm not sleeping.

I'm not looking forward to work tomorrow. This is mainly because I'm still awake. I laid in bed in the dark for nearly an hour before I turned the light back on. Yay, fun. It's not that I'm not tired - I am. I just couldn't turn the brain off long enough to get to sleep. Ugh.

This new schedule will take some getting used to. I'm not used to working 8 hour shifts, starting at 0800, for five days straight. As they say: "Adapt or Die"...

4AM is not the time to dig out the power tools and build storage accessories for the garage. The fact that I'm having a severe insomnia attack coupled with a creative surge that has me inspired to do carpentry does not change the fact that this is the wrong time of the night for such activities.

The past several days have been...unproductive.

On the up-side, I know where the time has been disappearing to: I've been sleeping over twelve hours a day.

This could be the backswing of my insomnia cycle, but I'm kinda missing out on life. And it's forecast to hit ~105 up here for most of this week, so I'm likely to crash all day to avoid the

Or is that the other way around in revoise?

After two mornings where I got up before 0900 for no reason other than I just couldn't sleep any longer, I was looking forward to a long and well-deserved night of slumber. So, of course, I was up and roaming around at 0500 (after going to bed at 0130).

Not fun.

Insomnia is contagious! Film at 0300...

That's what I get for getting out of bed before 0700.

I'm gonna have to go off-line for a bit. Catch ya on the flip-side...
