I thought I'd do a quick entry since I've started a few but haven't managed to finish. How are you on this fine, endlessly gray Wednesday afternoon? I can't remember when the sun last appeared. Sunday, I think. I will spend some high-quality time underneath the full-spectrum light later.

Insomnia is back, the first time insomnia has won the “insomnia vs. lunesta” cage match in a while. I woke (nightmares) at one and didn't return to sleep. At four I ran 4.32 miles, up to to the middle school, across to Wisconsin St., and back through downtown. The temps were in the mid-20s but I was heavily layered and pretty warm, actually, except for my face. Since winter started I've usually hit the gym at 5AM but I didn't want to wait for the Y's opening and I like running early. The streets are mine; I run straight down the center except for the stray car's interference. After breakfast, etc., I reached the office by 6:30. For all the lack of sleep I got a shitload done. Yay empty offices.

The last couple weeks have been decent. The semester started without too much of a hassle and my students are strong. This is my fourth semester with ASL1 and each session gets smoother. The new office space is perfect, really, more quiet than not.

What else? Last night I saw S score a goal and his soccer (indoor) team won 7 to 2. I'm reading a way cool on Siberia. M, T and I are catching up on Castle's second season.

When I'm tired I get that insomniac social paranoia. At least I can go meta with it and know what's happening. Tonight I'll be asleep early. More later.
