I'm awake, and sick again. I haven't been this sick, nor has it gone on for this long, since I had glandular fever, two years ago. I've gone vegan in the interim. That helped.
So far tonight I've slept for about two hours. Then (after lying there) I got up, came into our lounge, made myself a cup of hot water, and finished reading Living the Good Life. Then I went back to bed. And lay there. And got up to go to the lav, and put a bucket under the tap to our worm farm and opened it (because it has rained an awful lot tonight), and switched on the internet, and made myself another cup of hot water, and also a teapot, and lit the tealights beneath it to keep it hot, and sat down at my laptop. I have now been awake for about three hours, and I'm feeling rather not-sleepy.
This probably has to do with the stupidly sore throat I have, which is made worse every time I sneeze - sometimes great fits that stop me breathing.
In any case, it's three-quarters of an hour later, and I'm finally feeling tired again. If I'm lucky, I just might sleep for a bit longer.
