Despite being tired, I\u2019m excited to get started. In preparation for writing today, I set up a PC to use for this purpose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This morning I set up some routing so I can reach the PC remotely allowing me to write effectively. I\u2019m actually really excited! The excitement is lessening the lack of desire to go into work today. I know time will pass quickly. My weekend worksite is at a building completely locked down so I will be able to use dictation without the appearance of being crazy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I slept the day away and I still feel tired. I\u2019m getting a huge resurgence of very intense nightmares that are effecting my sleep adversely. I\u2019m even having nightmares while napping. It used to be that I could at least sleep during the day for a bit and it would be dream free. Not so much anymore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well maybe I will get some work on my book accomplished. Maybe a sense of satisfaction will lead to a night of better sleep. I feel mentally awful like it\u2019s a 10 yard fight. But the fact that I am writing this while on the bus to work is sort of a win in of itself. I wanted to call out but that\u2019s not in my nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have to work from 4p-11p today and I don\u2019t really mind because the grand plan is to begin working on my book The Beginner\u2019s Home Lab Book: Learning Linux &amp; BSD By Building Real Systems.
