Everything is slow and frustrating tonight - my computer, my body, my brain.

I am feeding myself jelly beans in the hope that the sugar will boost my energy levels, but even if it does I'll pay for it later as my blood sugar levels plummet. (We won't even think about what it is doing to my teeth and my waist line.)

What I should be doing, of course, is sleeping. But early nights cut into my computer time, and late mornings, alas, are too infrequent.

The sugar is starting to kick in. I'd better make the most of it.
