Losing a part of me

I have four hours left before I can sleep… or more likely four more hours before I can take Princess Sophie for her walk; after that, I can drop her off with my neighbour, and then I can get some sleep. I am exhausted and eagerly looking forward to that!

I was hoping to get more sleep last night than I did… obviously. Not only was I unable to fall asleep until less than four hours before I had to wake up again, but I then woke up ninety minutes later… and could not fall back into slumber. When I eventually did, it was probably thirty minutes before my alarm was set to ring. Two hours of sleep is not nearly enough to keep a body going. It is a good thing that the class I am teaching this week is an easy one for me.

While it was great to see my buddies yesterday afternoon, I am still not doing well. I am a wreck. How do I get myself out of this? I still have no idea.
