Do you need some encouragement today? This isn't perfect, but it's a good start: going from suicide attempt one year to the top of his game the next.

Ugh. Those days suck. Sorry to hear how your Friday is starting.

I sympathize. I've been getting 4 or 5 hours of sleep most nights this week. Last night I got 10 hours, with disruptions from thunderstorms and cats. So ready for the weekend.

Maybe this is why we actually age--we stop sleeping well as we get older.

I wonder. This week has been total upheaval with the work on the house. I had to sleep on the sofa last night and the cats are discombobulated as well. Plus I have a lot going on at work.

Thanks.  And this means it's... lunchtime naptime.

Yeah, that's a painful time, but once the work is done, there is so much satisfaction in knowing that is is DONE and things are (crossing fingers) so much better.

"Naptime" is the way really slow music is played.
