no rest

i can't sleep tonight, despite having an exhausting monday.

work's been crazy for the past few months, even crazier than usual. there's no sign of change in that direction except for it to get worse before it gets better. i'm trying to just keep my head down and ride out the storm.

it's easier said than done, especially since some folks seem to think good manners are not appropriate in a business setting. maybe they're just too stressed out, but really that's no excuse. what would their mothers say? surely they were all raised much better than that.

it's not what's causing me not to be able to rest. please. that would put way too much value on other people's drama.

actually, i think i slept too well last night.

yesterday, the husband and i road 55k on our bikes on some fairly hilly terrain to raise money for the ms society. we did it last year too and i must say, both years i was very tired the night after the race. this year, we shaved about an hour off our previous time which is pretty sweet. i am not even that sore today.

i go through these periods of insominia every couple of weeks. i should probably chart them and see if there's a pattern. usually it's related to lunar mystery time, but today, that's definitely not the case. i'm not sure what's causing it, but i feel extremely motivated to get stuff done. weird.
