INSOMNIA

between working the night shift and living a very sedentary life, i have developed insomnia. yes-- that is right, from narcolepsy to insomnia, even when off my drugs.
and while it blows not being able to sleep... I've gotten some stuff done. there are finally pictures on the walls of my bedroom.. and i wrote two cards... and okay well that's it, but still at least i did something. it's 5:04am... i woke up 21 hours ago and have only had one cup of coffee. I did, however zonk out for a good three hours after church. I was in a good rhythm with my sleep cycle before this whole night shift thing came up. Shoot.

I need a new planner.

I found an 8k in Washington on January 11th. 8k by January 11th is a very practical and attainable goal, and something that will help me keep my focus as I come off this whole foot thing. It'd be a 3ish hour drive from home. I think it'd be the perfect birthday weekend-- go up and stay there (I found a super cheap townhouse on Craigslist that ISN'T some creepy person renting out a room-- it's a company that does temporary housing...) I could do my run and my family and I could hit up Seattle and peruse. Seeing as how I've been saying for the past 4+ years that if I ever end up settling down, I'll settle in Seattle I think it's only prudent that I actually visit first. We'll see, convincing the potential travel buddies is always the hardest part.
