10/13: the gift of insomnia

...helped me to get my grading done by 8 am this morning.  I woke up around 1:45 and couldn't go back to sleep.  After trying for over an hour, I got up and got to work.  The unexpected early start meant that I had time to fit in a morning walk as well as work on my other tasks (grocering, prepping for tomorrow, doing laundry) without anxiety.  But now I am very tired so I am going to bed where (I hope) I won't have insomnia tonight.
