This entire weekend has been wrought by brutal insomnia. It happened last night and the night before (for the record, I strongly believe it's hormonal, and therefore not a mystery). It is so bad that I may miss all the Masses this weekend, if I can't force myself to drive to church. It couldn't have happened at a more inopportune time. Worse off, I'm "unconfessed," and the only church that offers Sunday confession (only a 20-minute block too) is at a parish literally 26 miles away. I could try to go down there, and come back to my hometown's downtown parish, but I don't think I'll have the fortitude for the 4 pm Vigil. I would like to, but the prospect lacks certainty. I know that this pain is temporary but why does it have to occur on the same weekend as the Christmas Masses?
