Realize Wednesday night's heart-thumping love of life was related to excessive coffee consumption when find self awake at 4:30 a.m. Suddenly painfully, mind-numbingly hungry, raid kitchen for snacks. Come across block of cheese and crackers. Wait, not enough crackers. Eat block of cheese and next best thing, croutons. This is new. Not so bad. Eat entire block of cheese with croutons while reading Sherman Alexie piece on health care and diabetes. Decide not to top off meal with high fructose corn syrup sugar pop topped with sugar. Wonder briefly if sleep will ever come again.
