As soon as this fog lifts...

So last night, for the first time in a long time, I reached for the Melatonin. It was my hope that it would help me find a long sleep segment after the first insomnia break. And it did.

The eyes opened easily with the alarm and feet hit the floor confidently. Moving through those regular first chores of the morning proceeded automatically. But here I sit in the front room several hours later, still not fully awake.

Now I remember why I've avoided the Melatonin for so long. It's because of this darned mental fog that haunts me, that lingers for hours, that dulls my thought processes. There are things I need to do today that demand a certain level of mental acuity. And I hope to get to them... as soon as this fog lifts.
