This waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to go back to sleep is getting very annoying. I could go back to taking a pill, yes, but I don't want to go back on medication. I want to get my body back into a natural cycle. Take a pill to go to sleep and feel slow and muzzy in the morning, or don't take a pill and get only 3 or 4 hours of sleep. I'm going to continue not taking the pill for a while longer. See what happens.

So, this morning's wake up time was just after 3 a.m. I stayed in bed until about 4 but was so restless that I finally had to get up. At least I got my dishes washed and kitchen floor swept. Then I had to decide whether or not to get on the good old computer or read my book. Then there is the decision as to whether or not to write on the blog, play computer games, or connect to work and get some of that done.

I'm not going to connect to work this morning. I'm tired of putting in all the extra hours, and I don't know how I'm going to take off the ones I've built up already.

Oh well.

My course will start in a couple of weeks. Having second thoughts. Of course I do this every time I take a course. Really don't know why I'm bothering since retirement is in 2 years. But it will be nice to say that I have completed a degree, when I'm surrounded by people who have multiple degrees.

But who knew when I was failing in high school that I am academically inclined? Damn those bullies. Shame on me for not standing up for myself.
