Goodnight friends! Feeling warmer than it has for weeks, floating around 12°c with a sky swelling from veiled and powdery blue to vivid azure, clouds fine and thin and high like slivers of pale planed wood. No real warmth in the sunlight but at least a streaming, winking metallic glitter that gilded every edge and sharpened every shadow to a fine stenciled shape of indigo ink.

Strong spells of dizziness and nausea still, after my nest efforts to get some sleep didn’t quite add up to much. Hopefully at least lying down for longer will cumulatively help my exhaustion a little. The day spooled and spilled out too easily from fatigued hands and a cloudy brain – I fed myself, walked and did a few basic household tasks, but as commonly in winter they was about my limit. Going slow, but going.

May we find patience and perseverance today!
