Strike that. Barely awake, semi-aware, and at work.
I hope that the music I'm listening to will stir some energy in me. I know what should fix this problem, which would be getting enough sleep. Listening to my body when it's talking to me, instead of my head. My body says go to sleep at 10, because you're tired My head says "Nah, I'll stay up and paint or think about a journal entry. So I stay up, and I paint, and I even write a little. Then I crawl into bed a little past midnight...and I fiddle with the blankets, because the comforter is a little too bunched around my neck. Then I read a few chapters in a book. Then I lie in the darkness listening to the heater clicking and hissing, a big silver cockroach chained to my wall. I lick my lips, and get up to turn on the humidifier. And my body realizes that's it's not tired anymore, but my head is exhausted.
I'm tired of being tired...
