I'm in the dark, 7:00PM, watching Tron with N and S. Man, this movie is boring. Rain is falling, wind is blowing, and I'm in for the night. I've already had a beer. This would be a great night for a coffee shop, maybe, but I'll stay home, most likely. Pretty soon I'll head upstairs and finish Travels With Charley.

So this week has gone well except for an insane insomnia stretch Monday night/Tuesday morning. I was tense Monday night and couldn't sleep. And couldn't sleep. And couldn't sleep. Finally about one I gave up and drove into the office. I was somewhat hallucinatory by this point but I managed to get a ton done in three hours. Then I drove home and did next to nothing all day in that nauseous, half-awake state. So at 4PM I took some high quality sleeping pills and crashed, hard, for fourteen hours. Wednesday and Thursday were busy but productive.

Last night I did the elliptical for 45 minutes after Cub Scouts. Man, I needed that. This morning I decided not to push myself and instead tried lifting for the second time this week. I couldn't get past the 2nd set. Tomorrow I'll try cardio again. This is opportunity, really, and I'm gaining back my health. Let me live.
