Another night of difficulty getting to sleep. I've got to fix this.
This morning I went for blood work prior to my physical next week.

Tuesday 5
I finally slept better but I still feel like I’m taking a cold or I’m dealing with allergies. Pat returns from Texas around 12:30. We'll be heading to Virginia soon after.
I received a call from Dr. Henderson's office saying I needed to start taking folic acid and B12. My anemia must be worse than usual.
