I couldn't sleep at all last night, and after tossing and turning into the wee hours, I finally got up out of bed around 3:30 AM, put on my robe and braved the subzeros to step outside. It was snowing! And a pretty heavy volley, too. After watching a few moments I came back to bed and took another shot at sleep, but maybe I was trying too hard now; another hour-and-a-half or so of super crisp clear wakefulness later, I finally had to admit defeat. I got up for good and made coffee. Well, it's five thirty in the evening now; it's been snowing off and on all day, quite hard at times, and there were warning text messages from the district office by the hour. It's supposed to last into tomorrow. And after resisting the call of Hypnos all through the day I'm hopeful that tonight I'll go out like a light the moment I hit the bed. But just to make sure I do, I'm going to have a couple of drinks.
