(Note: Blogs read from bottom to top; scroll down for beginnings, scroll up for most current.) After 30 years in public administration and four degrees, as well as numerous workshops with luminaries in Education and Public Policy, life in a slower lane became a goal. Most recently I have done policy writing and consulting for the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes. Mostly, I am just coasting slowly and gently downhill these days-seeking joy where I can find it before the glorious ride ends.

Zonked

I feel fine...when I am awake. I even manage to get something done. But the sleep time whether in the bed or in my easy chair just comes. The eyes droop and sometime later I awaken, usually to answer the call of nature, then doze off again. I have been having some scary dreams involving trying to find a restroom urgently then awakening and barely making it. I arise at 7:00 a.m. only to fade again. I can feel it trying to come upon me even when doing things or driving though it can be resisted in those circumstances.

I will forego the one-half Xanax tonight and see if that helps though the doziness was the reason I took it in the first place. If some sense of normalcy does not arrive by Monday, the Doc will be consulted but even that seems kind of dumb because I feel fine-when conscious. Dr Internet has not been very helpful, either.
