So, tonight's my night to stand the 0000-0800 watch, and that's OK, I guess. I'd rather stand the midwatch while we're loading (it's quiet w/out the screaming roar of the cargo pumps) than when we're sitting between jobs- idle hands, and all that.
         I had some trouble drifting off to sleep in my last off-watch period, and, when I did doze off, I kept waking up from nasty short dreams. Strange how the mind works. I didn't go to bed particularly preoccupied.
