i’ve been dragging most of the day. i’m not sure why it was so hard to fall asleep last night. to stay asleep. and i really really need to sleep more than anything else after being sick all week. but it just wasn’t there. it’s so elusive. for me. there’s this tiny window of opportunity to fall asleep. and i have to be hyper-vigilant. the timing has to be absolutely perfect, or i am awake for the next fortnight.

still, i found some nice moments scattered here and there. went with D and her son to the park. i was trying to introduce him to badminton, which he thought was enormously funny. i thought it was funny when he asked why a man and a woman were boxing on top of a nearby hill.
