Cordova does not seem to be conducive to my alcoholism. When I was here last, I thought I had been suffering from insomnia due to stress and anxiety from my job here.
It turns out there is something in the booze here.
I have no clue why drinking in this town causes me to go so sleepless. It appears that no matter how much or what I drink, I will not rest more than 3 or 4 hours at best.
I noticed on my birthday, which left me seriously inebriated. I should have slept hard the whole night through. Yet, at 2 am I awoke...wide awake, no hangover.
I found it odd, but didn't correlate it with my last trip. Then, last night, I went out and had a couple of drinks. This time, I awoke at 3am, wide awake again.
As I lay there in the wee hours of dawn I thought about this trip, and my last trip. I realized that all of my sleepless nights had been nights Dave and I had gone out drinking.
I have no clue why. But, I think I'm done drinking in this damn town. I need some rest.

You're in a strange town, with strange people. Waking early, or restlessness, seems appropriate during periods of exacerbated vulnerability (being drunk in an "unsafe" place would do it for me).
Not that you're vulnerable. Men never are...
