My congestion has become some kind of solid thing, dumbly lodged in my mid-chest, grimly holding on with all its sticky strength. Coughing only seems to mildly annoy it. For me this usually means soon it will all be gone. Usually. Like it needs to solidify before vanishing. A last gasp.

Monday night I got two hours in a row of sleep — twice, between 2-4 and 7-9 — so I was feeling kind of good about my sleep prospects for last night. I worked all day, had a tiny bit of energy leftover so before I got home I did a very minor grocery shopping, then cooked dinner and emptied and reloaded the dishwasher. Even tidied my room up a bit. Wound down watching bad baseball and reading silly fighting on the Internets (where People Were Wrong!). Maybe that last bit was my undoing; maybe it put me in some kind of antagonism loop, because after I got into bed my brain just wouldn't stop. I didn't get more than 20 minutes of sleep last night — maybe total!

So work was nice again and let me work from home today (seriously, saving possibly hundreds of lives from my bleary driving), and I decided I wouldn't take any meds today. Especially not my albuterol inhaler. At the best of times it makes me jittery and shaky. And I've been taking it four times a day! I've never taken it this much before. I've rarely taken it twice in a MONTH.

We'll see how tonight goes. Had my last caffeine (diet coke) at six (unless you count the coffee ice cream I had around 8...hush now). Going to take some Advil PM before bed and hope for the best.

I don't know how regular insomniacs deal with this shit. Slightly more than a week and I'm losing my mind! I've never ever had trouble with sleep before and I gotta say, I don't like it!
