Day 103

Stagnation
I'm finding it very hard to get out of bed these days. Between the illness, the short days, the dreary weather, and the ensuing depression that those things evoke, I haven't left the house in days.

Day 102

Inside out once again
Another very long day lost to illness and disarray. I am very tired of waiting to be OK.

Day 100

The light remains at the horizon
Things happening, always out of reach, always somewhere else.

Day 99

Drip
Another rainy week begins. An errand took me to an old neighborhood I used to live in, and I listened to some music that I used to listen to back then. Sometimes simple rituals can conjure emotions that you forgot you had, but there's always a cost.

He was born with a hair-lip? The baby had a mustache? That sounds cool as hell, what do you mean he had to have surgery?

Day 98

Clouded in
The flip side of having agoraphobia is that I feel very comfortable in small spaces, like the opposite of claustrophobia. I've had to get MRIs for my spine a few times, and every time the techs are surprised at how calm and casual I am about being in the machine for a while, because I actually find it very relaxing and don't mind staying in for as long as they need me to. Thick fog like this can give me a sort of similar feeling, making it seem like the whole world has gotten smaller and cozier all of a sudden, the thick clouds making it possible to imagine that we've been cut off from the whole rest of the world and that all that exists is a little two block radius around us. A comforting illusion.

Day 96

Time Hole
Some days just feel like they don't exist. This day isn't real, it's just a glitch in time. Reality is buffering and we just gotta wait until it starts up again. Waiting gets harder as it goes on for longer, but then it starts getting easier when you settle into some tolerable routines. Eventually a real day will come along again.

Day 95

Sleeping in shifts
The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer, and I'm not sleeping much, so I've been spending much more time sitting in the dark lately.

Day 94

Unseen crows
Every time I hear something but can't see the source, I have to wonder if it's a hallucination or not. That's just something that happens to me from time to time. It's perfectly reasonable to think that when I hear a crow outside my window but can't see it that it must be somewhere nearby, but it's entirely possible that my brain is just inventing a crow sound for no particular reason. It's taken a long time for me to get used to the fact that I can't always trust my own senses, and it makes navigating the world more difficult.

Day 93

Night rushes in
I've been having a terrible time trying to sleep lately. For the last few nights I've only managed to get 2-3 hours of sleep before waking up around 2 AM unable to sleep any more. I've ended up staying up until sunrise before I can finally manage to get another 3 hours of sleep or so, which is just enough to keep me functional but tired and sore for the rest of the day. Essentially I've replaced sleeping through the night with a series of unsatisfying naps. I'm hoping that I can break that trend tonight by doubling up on my sleep meds, but there's a chance that it'll just turn insomnia into even more hazy and disoriented insomnia. We shall see.

Day 92

Brief blue between rain storms
I don't know what to do with myself these days. I might just be adjusting to the seasonal changes but it definitely feels like I've been getting sick more often over the last few weeks. My immune system reacts strongly for seemingly no reason, giving me fevers, body aches, and fitful sleep at night. I take the meds, try to avoid eating anything other than the half dozen items of food I usually eat, do a bit of physical therapy, and just try to wait it out. At a certain point, however, it feels like I'm just waiting out my whole life, impatient to be done with it.
