Yesterday, I started rather early at work. I have had periods of insomnia for years now, I’d guess at least 25, probably more. For a stint of about 6 months, I tend to sleep only about 4 hours a night, then I’ll sleep properly for up to 18 months… It’s annoying, but I’m used to it now.

Anyway, on Thursday night I went to bed shortly after 9pm and I woke up 4 hours later at 123am… Yeah, great nights sleep. I tended to the dogs, made coffee and what not and at 225am I decided that I might as well work. I got more done in 4 hours (before people came in) than I normally do in an 8 hour day. Don’t get me wrong, I love the people who report to me, but they do ask me a lot of questions, I guess it’s good that I can answer most of them. I digress.

I worked until 330pm and didn’t take a lunch, had 1:1 meetings with me staff all day, got a fair amount done before my holidays started. My Aunt and cousin will be on a fight this afternoon and I’ll pick them up shortly before 5pm. We are heading to Edmonton tonight and will hit up the West Edmonton Mall tomorrow. My cousin has arranged to have brunch with my brother and possibly other members of his family. I haven’t seen them since my sister passed 4 years ago.

We’ll return to the Pass on Sunday evening and will continue the Tour of Alberta Monday morning. I’m looking forward to the week, it should be fantastic.
