The Froo-Froo Bits:
Overall, this was a pretty good day emotionally. I felt good, and stayed up-beat. Almost didn't need my usual 1PM nap (but took it anyway as quiet time away from my desk).
One thing I'm noticing about our new routine is that I get TIRED at night. For a long time, tired was just a state of being for me. I was always tired. Since Tuesday, I've been waking up pretty awake, and feeling alert for most of the day. I'm needing my afternoon nap less & less. However, 9PM hits, and I pumpkin out. I get drowsy & need - absolutely need like I need air - to lay down and go to sleep.
I'm not fighting it. I figure this will either get better in time, or it won't. If it doesn't and the pay off is that I'm alert during the day, I'll take it.
