Sleep

Slept most of the day. No energy at all, none, not even to make a cup of tea. Dozens of emails to answer, piles of admin to do. Couldn't face it, slumped and sucker-punched by tiredness that is bone-deep and heart-felt. I feel very old. The cat has dozed by my bedside all day; sleeping for fifteen hours is normal for her. I have not had the dream since I wrote it down and shared it here. Perhaps that is why I am suddenly so greedy for sleep; I am no longer afraid to dream.
