Tough Sunday without sleep

SANFORD -- Sometimes a person can only push himself so far without sleep and the body says no more. That was me.

A lack of sleep in my case leads to breathing problems with asthma and then everything stops, despite the best plans and promises made. There is a lot of news to catch up on. There always is. But there is only one of me. So I have to be realistic and pace myself. Because I didn't, Sunday was a disaster.

Hopefully, the medicines to open up the airwaves and some badly needed sleep well into the morning here will give me a chance to recover and catch up.
