I’ve gotten exactly 4.5 hours sleep in two days. I feel like the walking dead.

Night before last, I had a (at this point, predictable) bout of insomnia. I got about 1.5 hours sleep before having to go about my day. Rather than take a nap in the afternoon once my daily responsibilities had been met, though, I decided to stay up until a more normal/reasonable bed time last night to ensure that I would sleep through the night. So, 11pm rolled around and I went “night-night”. At 2am on the dot, my eyes popped open and refused to close again.

I’ve managed to get throught the 100-some-odd RSS items sitting in my reader, and the few emails waiting for me in my inbox. Now would normally be the time that I would start drafting an article for THM, but I just can’t muster the enthusiasm at the moment. Not to mention the fact that I appear to be almost completely incapable on focusing on any one thing long enough to actually feel productive. Unfortunately, having already missed a few posts last week, I can’t shirk posting for today, so I’m trying to think of some “light reading” to post. (I invariably feel like an asshole if I don’t post something of some substance at least a couple times a week, and “fluff” posts irritate the crap out of me…)

I’ve actually got a few post ideas on my “To Do” list, but unfortunately all of them require some thought, care and research to properly address, which doesn’t appear to be something I’m capable of today.

I’m thinking this is going to be a shitty day…
