Another day of sleep. Awoke late (read late last night) and still slept/rested after lunch, like a log. Hibernation is taking over. Still did exercises, walk, run to the library to get new books, but finally had to rest/sleep for nearly two hours.

Finished the O. Henry 2006 stories last night. Final story was one I had read in a collected works. It's a really great piece of fiction and I stayed awake reading it late into the evening.

Picked up two new collections at the library. Could have looked for some of the collected works of the O. Henry winners, but didn't do so. Went for new authors and new titles.

Days have been spectacular. Clear skies and brilliant sunshine. Weather reports speak of a warming trend over the coming week--mid 30's at night instead of mid 20's. Some warming trend!

I keep anticipating some kind of breakthrough with my symptoms--some change/shift that will let me plan a restart. I continue to exercise walk, and increase my physical activities--plus or minus my increased rest/sleep demands. Somewhere in all this flailing is the tipping point--the event or state that opens the door to moving onward, moving beyond my crazy coping. Let it be so!

Racing with the Doomsday Clock! Will I fully recover first or will the clock strike midnight first? 2012 is not that far off. Maybe the Mayans were onto what's happening. New islands appearing in Greenland. Whatever happens, it will probably be exciting!
