Insomnia...I can't get no sleep

(Cue the music...kidding) One of the symptoms of a functional depression is that sometimes, I don't get to sleep until after dawn. What usually happens is that, i spend the next couple of days, catching up on sleep, which means I end up rising after noon. Try as I may, I don't seem to get anything done as I try my hardest to sleep, except maybe surf the net or write in my blog. I also try to "quiet" my mind, but that does not seem to work, as up until last May, I was working a full-time job and attending school. As tired as I got, I enjoyed being busy and i miss that. I miss the discipline it took to balance, lectures, presentations, and work responsibilities. I have recently applied to bookstores in an effort to keep busy, and why not, pay off some bills, while I'm feeding my intellectual mind. Within the last week, I signed up to take a State Certified Court Interpreter's Exam. I fully intend on passing the test, and I will use the study guides suggested by the state's web page. Alas, the exam does not take place until May 31, which leaves me plenty of time to study and to find out how to get to Emeryville via public transportation. How is the idea of insomnia related to the opportunity to establish myself in a new career...one word: anxiety. More later...
