One of these days, I'm going to get some. A hail of presentations to customers and VPs has kept me from sleeping well, and I seem to have lost the ability to make the 5 a.m. getup to work out. It seems like both Darlene and I have been dragging ass all week.
I think part of my problem is not being able to run, so I'm not as tired as I have been. Couple that with the phenomenon that I seem to get depressed and drink more when I'm injured and can't train, seems like a good recipe for not sleeping. So, the plan is to cut out the beer, start getting up regularly in the mornings to get back into a semi-normal sleeping pattern. The short term fix is to get to bed early and pop one of Darlene's famous sleeping pills to kick-start the night.
I also read this morning that Merck is pulling Vioxx from the shelves because of the increased risk of heart attack and stroke. I just got samples for Vioxx from the doc for my knee and should be taking those for a while. The good news is that the studies that condemned the stuff showed no adverse effects in the first 18 months, so I should be able to weather it without any problems. Hopefully the physical therapy will get me away from the need for more.
