Warm, busy day! Got up a bit early. Did exercises and ate breakfast, then puttered off to library to edit 19 pages of my friend's algebra manuscript. It was a challenge in that I was not "clear" but "cloudy." Made it difficult to concentrate--but I did it. Found a handful of typos, which I noted. Sent copies of the edited pages to him via snailmail. I felt really tired so I came home and had some lunch. Physically, I was quite enervated.

I napped for a short while and then made a trek to the DHL office to drop off my sample for an H-pylori test. I ran into some awful traffic on 101 and what should have been a short trip turned into a long excursion. Made it, finally, and delivered the package. Came back through some more heavy traffic--eventually making it back home. Napped briefly some more and then went out for dinner. Never made it to fully "clear" today. In fact, am feeling that I'm fairly weak--which sleep helps to restore somewhat, but not completely. I'm beginning to think that no amount of sleep will help--and in fact may be doing the opposite.

The craziness continues! Nothing fully stabilizes and new issues keep manifesting. It is what it is, but it's getting worrisome. I know I'm supposed to drop my wariness, but I need some breakthroughs that sustain, that progress. This sand pit is a pain!

Dreamed last night that I was with a childhood buddy. We were going fishing the next day. He bought a bunch of tackle and gear that we would need. We were staying at my mother's old house. I came home late and she was already asleep. My friend came in even later with all of the gear. It was nearly time to get up and head out to the lake.

And then it was time to get up--for real!
