Oh, steroids!

My new ET finger at 4 a.m.

Wide awake and wired, brain going to town all night long — so many thoughts to think! I appreciate the focused mental energy and brilliant ideas, but wow I would love some sleep.

Steroids (or more specifically, corticosteroids) reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system, both of which are helpful for me right now. They will not, alas, boost my batting average.
