ONE STEP FORWARD, ONE STEP BACK

I'm tired.  I'm almost always tired.  I'm tired OF things, and I'm tired
BECAUSE of things.  I don't sleep well.  Last night, my legs were aching
when I went to bed.  That happens a lot, and has happened a lot for
years now.  Some Ibuprofen works okay there, but, by the time it kicks
in, I'm too wound up to sleep -- the mind just keeps racing, you know?

I suppose I have worries.  I suppose I have frustrations and depressions
by turns -- or, more often, in teams.  To actually be productive with
the sleepless hours of the night would be the most efficient approach to
this; that is, how do I USE the insomnia, rather than simply endure it?
Most often, I'm too tired to concentrate on creative projects in wee
hours, but am also way too jumpy to lay down.  And the essential problem
here is that I should at least be TRYING to get sleepy.  All I see left
right now, is to bull my way through the fatigue, and really try and
work.  I probably won't get much done, but everything helps, and,
anyway, it's really all about the sleep.

I'll be revamping the Shotgun Schedule soon, so that might help a bit
right there.  Many projects on there are no longer relevant, so I can
start going after other, maybe bigger, fish.  Gotta keep plugging away
anyway, right?  I mean, I may be tired, but I'm not dead yet.
