I woke up again naturally at 6:12AM, so I decided to just get up and not spend the next hour in bed. Following Amit’s advice. The only thing is that I didn’t feel any more tired last night at 11. So maybe I SHOULD only stay in bed for 7 hours a day.
Amit's still been checking in on me regularly. I really appreciate him. He's dealt with a lot in life too, and is still dealing with a lot, in terms of his mom and the upcoming wedding.

U-Jam was nice. Being generally more active and not drinking as much this year feels physically great. Got a little more info on Rosie (my friend from U-Jam) too. I found out a few weeks ago that her husband had passed away in a manner similar to that of Danny, when he was about 40. What I didn't know was that he passed away the morning Rosie's daughter was born. I can't imagine being in that situation.
Christine from U-Jam told me that her sister got deported 10 years ago, but the family decided that her sister's kids would have a better life in the U.S. So she's been raising them ever since. Huge life transition right there.
Lauren's 2-year-old daughter has a congenital heart disease and is in and out of the hospital. She's almost died several times now. Lauren says she's her inspiration to fight back in life.
Sometimes being around them and hearing their stories and how they overcame is what I need. A lot of people have tragedies. Things that have happened that affected decades of their lives.
