an almost secret
I am sick again and people have noticed. Sleep has been particularly torturous between not being able to doze off until at least after three am, and then having some nasty night terrors. I’ve been eating good to make up for it. Sadly that hasn’t worked out as well as I thought it would. Nonetheless I feel okay (sometimes) and am excited for this weekend.

I have this thing. Well, I don’t have it. It was a gift but isn’t mine; it’s nothing tangible
either way
it is there for me when I am sad and I look at it and because it is there I sigh a heavy, reminiscent sigh, weighted down by winter’s memories
then smile
big.
