Friday morning, wake up under the weather, all day.
Exhausted, this a result of what I suspect to be a bad head & chest cold. I finish work early, am asleep by 9:00 PM, Saturday morning up at 9:00. All night the same dream, I can't recall it, just a couple of objects...
Up at 9:00, coffee, go get some groceries, exhausted again, sleep another 4 hours, then read, head to work.
Not as bad as Friday night.
Then bed. All night, lying, stray thoughts, not images, exhausted but it doesn't seem I ever fell asleep at all, although I must have, I would remember a table in the restaurant, have to go check on them, then I'd realize I was in my bed, there are no tables in the restaurant, and so try to fall asleep again.
This morning, up way too early, but I'll try and nap again later. Eating Fisherman's Friends like their going out of style, and then I read the byline "In case of accidental overdose", and suddenly I'm reading the rest of the package, "Take as required", I mean...

Today, such an early start and completely without motivation. No news, so to speak, but tonight is a poetry slam and I should be polishing off a couple of masterpieces so I can show up and compete...that will be the challenge of the day, to see if I can focus long enough to get a couple - just a couple - of poems done.
