Insomnia

My insomnia is back, ugh. 

For awhile there I was sleeping fairly well, seven or eight hours every night. (The dog wakes me at dawn to go to the dog park, by yapping until I give in and get up.) But the last few nights, I keep falling asleep and then waking up and falling asleep and waking up and so on, all night long.

Also, I have anxiety dreams like you wouldn't believe. Probably that's what's waking me up. There's absolutely nothing to be anxious about -- except the political situation, I suppose -- so I don't know what's up with that.

Side note on that point: gas is $3.89/gallon at the cheap place as of yesterday. It's about that in Fort Smith, which is where I'm seeing all the complaining. Whose fault are these high prices, according to people in Fort Smith on FB? Why, Joe Biden!

What's happening is people are posting about how much it costs to fill up their giant pickups and SUVs and other people are saying, well, back in 2022, when Biden was president....

It's true gas price were high in 2022, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Gas prices are high now because of Trump's ridiculous illegal war against Iran. Somehow one is Biden's fault and the other is Biden's fault as well. 

Don't ask me how they're managing these mental gymnastics.
