I want to sleep. I am very tired. I want to sleep 8 hours, uninterrupted. If, for no other reason I was well on the way to slide towards a nervous breakdown, the lack of the peaceful nightly oblivion is really starting to get to me. I took two melatonin pills and am letting them absorb. If I keep this up I’m going to wind up looking like Charlie Rose.

Needless to say, this article has me FREAKING THE COVFEFE out: http://www.slate.com/articles/life/the_kids/2017/06/how_to_prevent_tick_bites_and_lyme_disease_during_the_tick_threat_of_2017.html
