Yes,  I am up.  Here, for your edification, is my sleep schedule for the past 30 or so hours:

Tuesday night: in bed by nine, asleep by 10 pm.  Up at 5 am Wednesday.  Back to sleep 9am. Up at 7pm. Back to sleep (on couch) 11:30 pm, up 2:30 am Thursday. It’s just about 5 am now.  Still awake, so far.

That works out to about 20 hours asleep and ten hours awake.  Seriously, who needs that much sleep, and why?  I can also just stay awake for days at a time.  ?????????

The fun is added to by the pain.  My foot hurts, my leg hurts, my side hurts, my shoulders hurt.  Walking hurts.  My neck hurts.  Oh, hell.  Everything hurts.  That’s about the size of it.  Being ill: not for the faint-hearted. Giving in, giving up, are not on.  I will not cave.  I will prevail.  I will enjoy my life regardless.  So there.
