I’m awake. I have been since a little after 1 AM. I fell asleep at 9 last night, so I at least got a good four hours in. The best part is that I have a sore throat and heartburn. After laying in bed for three hours, completely awake, I decided to get up and make myself some herbal tea to help with my throat, take some zinc lozenges, a zantac, some vitamin C boosters and do some knitting and/or reading and/or internetting. Obviously I’m internetting right now. Waiting fifteen minutes for my tea to steep. Once that has honey in it, I’ll be getting cuddly on the couch with the dog and a fuzzy blankie, browsing Pinterest looking for the newest, greatest home remedies for colds.

I do not envy my family having to deal with me once they wake up in the morning.
