Insomnia

I can't sleep.

Well, it's not that I can't fall asleep, I just can't stay asleep. I have always been the type of person who needs my eight hours or I'm cranky, but since I've been home I've been up at 7AM (today 6:30AM) after going to bed at 1:30AM or 2AM. Usually for me five hours is unsustainable, but I've felt fine.

Oh, and I've even gotten out of bed. Normally, if I wake up early I stay submerged under the covers, citing the fact that it's way too cold to emerge. It is cold this morning, but I couldn't stay in bed. And I maturing? Or just getting old? Is it the meds? Of the sea level saturation of oxygen?

The house it quiet. Except for the clocks. Even Nicholas is asleep.

I have the whole Sunday paper to myself and dim sum in three hours. I could get used to this.
