    Mel – that is awesome on the sleep! I hear you on the early nights, being in bed by 8pm makes me feel like I'm 6. Actually, my 6 year old nephew goes to bed after I do. I'm having trouble getting enough fat, I've been putting coconut milk and oil on everything but end up eating a bunch of nuts at the end of the day to get close to what I should have.

    collards

    Man! I hate when naps don't "take." It's so sad. But at least you got some time in a reclining, restful position.
