It’s 1:30 a.m. and I just woke up about half an hour ago. Ever since I finished up my last call month for this year, I’ve just been exhausted. I suppose I have about a month of sleep to catch up on. But this makes my sleep schedule completely screwed up.

Last night, I couldn’t get to sleep until nearly 2 a.m., but somehow, I still woke up at 7 a.m. without an alarm. Which, I suppose, is late compared to what time I used to wake up.

I’m still working on the whole optimism thing. I’ve spent a huge portion of my life depressed, or expecting bad things to happen, and it’s a hard habit to break. The odd thing, I suppose, is that nothing has really changed at all.

Before I wax too philosophically, I must remember that it’s all about small steps. Anything difficult can usually be broken down into less difficult components.

The other thing I need to do is to learn how to stop hedging, and just go for it.
