    Mother trucker I slept so much last night! Another 10 hours solid? Some unsettling dreams that were an extrapolation of the deeply excruciating arthouse film I watched on Friday (dark lighting, endless rain, depressingly small and crowded concrete living space, and drawn out toilet scenes). I would’ve loved some sun today but no dice, so it’s time to pack up my things and go to uni…

    …though I also just want to spend today curled up and blanked out. It’s okay. Next weekend. Next weekend I will be able to take a real breather.

    I reluctantly turned down an opportunity to catsit for a friend next month because the driving to work/uni/my home (to check in on plants) was gonna be heinous, on top of not having my usual comforts. I do NOT want to burn out again this soon. But… cat.

      You were probably tired if you slept that much. The body has a strange way of making up for sleep eventually.

      Maybe for the best if you were going to find it challenging to catsit with all the travel involved.

      There’s some sun trying to get through the clouds here.

        Yeah saw a bit of sun poking through on my way to uni but mostly grey. I definitely think you’re right about the tiredness - the mental strain of my studies and all kinds of internal scripts running in the background about whether I’m good enough, memories of past uni experiences, etc and nobody to really talk to about it all (who’d get it), certainly takes a toll.
