The Insomnia Chronicles

It's far too early in the morning to be up and about. I haven't been sleeping and I've no idea what I'm going to do about that. T gets up at 4 in the morning, and his iPhone alarm is loud enough to wake the dead. On comes the light. I usually get up at that point, make him coffee and make sure he has his lunch. This, of course ensures that I am thoroughly awake and have a hell of a time getting back to sleep. I'm fairly useless for the rest of the morning, since my sleep rhythms have been disturbed.

Yes I can get the coffee/lunch situation dealt with the night before, and I often do. I think that my next step is sleep mask and earplugs. I'm just at a loss.

Time for coffee. LOTS of coffee!

The Blog v2.0

Well, hey there internet!

It's been almost two years since I quit blogging at the OTHER blog. So much has happened since then! There are days that I miss blogging and writing so much it's as if a part of me is missing. I've gone back many times and tried to begin a post. It's been tremendously difficult for me to just pick up and resume posting there as if nothing ever happened. I look at some of those posts, and cringe at some of the brittle cheerfulness that I was exhibiting, when on the inside, I was miserable in ways that I couldn't even express. About the same time I quit posting, my marriage essentially imploded, and the last two years has been an extraordinary journey of change and self-definition.

My life is completely and utterly different these days, and so I am making a fresh start here. I'm leaving the old blog up for a while. Haven't decided whether or not I should kill it off completely.

Almost everyone who knows me is aware that I'm on Facebook, Twitter, my work blog, etc. While I love those mediums, there's just been something about writing more at length that I dearly miss.

So, anyhow, here we are.
