Presented to 75 people plus the new CEO today. If anxiety
counts for anything, I for sure earned my paycheck today. Fortunately no one asked any questions. Either I was very clear, or my subject was deadly boring, or people knew it would be cruel to torment me further. 
I also swam this morning for 45 minutes at the gym we are trying out. It was really nice. And both harder and easier than I expected. I haven't done laps in a hundred years. I'm going to a period of insomnia which is nice...

Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night, my emotions overwhelm me. Its 2:00 am and I can't sleep. I have a bad cold and the insides of my ears itch.What I'm feeling is such sadness over not being able to be with Will and Ellen more. I've had this feeling on and off ever since they were born, and it hits hard when it hits. I feel it especially acutely regarding Will because I can't really imagine how he spends his days at school.
