Since Sunday, I've been one sleeparific guy. I've been exhausted, I tell you. Exhausted!
As I run down the list of possible causes, I realize the reason may be stress.
Understand: I have a double billion things on my mind all at once lately. Money matters, crazy people calling my phone fifty times a day, the three and half hour interview Friday, people in the hospital, missing other people, worrying about other situations, the divorce, wondering if I'm going to be shot or beat the fuck up at any moment, deadlines at work, so much to be done so much to be done so much to be done, working hard to help find jobs...
I don't feel overwhelmed at all, I feel completely calm. OK, not completely - how about calm yet overjoyed and excited? There are other ways to describe this, but I can't tell you now can I? Yet, at the same time, I think all of it may be getting to me on some subconscious level, thus causing the sleep thing.
Mandy - you're one step closer! I didn't get to share in your good news since I was still at work, but I'm so happy for you!
