insomnia

you can feel it hours earlier....much like you can smell snow hours before it starts. if you're like me, you ignore all the doctor-recommended, FDA-approved, relaxation book techniques.

you know they won't work.

so you think about making coffee at 2 AM.

you play farmville, or mafia wars.

you find West Wing transcripts on line.

you do everything except put down the computer, turn off the light, and go to sleep.

am I better than I was a year ago? Yes and no.

The suicide attempt was clearly unsuccessful -- and i feel it's important to keep an sense of humor about that.

i'm not dating -- no one seems single anymore

had my gallbladder out -- now...what to do with my gall?

must write here every day. i'd actually be psyched if i had a blog that no one read.
