Depriving self of sleep in favor of splurging on self help books (via Amazon Marketplace = godsend). Work at 10 AM. Tentative plans to get up and engage self with yoga and meditation, afterwards enjoying cup of tea while listening to NPR. Ideal start to the day is reiterated to be tentative. Optimism abounds, however. Whyever else would I be typing in the manner of Bridget Jones to an audience of strangers? To work my fingers into burning a couple of calories, of course.

 Well, every little bit helps, doesn't it?
