3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
In a repeat of Monday night's sleep pattern, I was caught in a limbo between being too tired to be up yet not sinking into sleep, and again solved by pillow-hugging. If it works, it works! 

Online marketing has been distracted by technical issues on the laptop to do with large files and overheating! With computers, the solutions are usually easy but identifying the problem then finding the solution finding them takes ages! I am hoping to have dealt with them by end of tomorrow latest.
