I more or less passed out last night, and then slept almost twelve hours, making a brief appearance in the waking world only when someone handed me my morning pills. When I properly came to, I felt a slight panic at first, because I have so much to do and should not have slept this long, but considering how well-rested I feel, perhaps I will be more effective like this. I have a lot to face and sort out today, and I feel a lot. But I think I can do this, I feel prepared to face daylight horrors, and pain, and very important assignments (so many of them, with the deadline so close). I will do this. I will make this day work for me, by sheer force of will if need be. I am not going to be brought down.
