Need... sleep
Shift off at 2300.
Restart at 0800.
Add 2 hours for travel time.
and 1 hour for waking up, groaning, checking email, cleaning teeth and face.
A&E on 4 hours sleep. Running on empty.
(The missing time in the unwritten equation above is that mysterious hour that always seems to leak out of the continuum of reality when you need it the most.)
*****
Cruel Land
It is a cruel, cruel land that promises the hint of spring, all through summer, and reverts unexpectedly to winter when nobody's looking. 2 weeks of summer-esque weather -- and technically it IS the height of summer now; waking up this morning and staring out the window at the beauty of a dazzling sunrise. Oh, Good. Light jacket on, zoom out the house.
Halfway to the station, it finally sinks into my sleep deprived mind that my fingers are hurting. And surely breath isn't supposed to freeze in front of you during summer.
Mutter. Grumble. Fume.
