Valentine's stay.

Tuesday 14th February 2023


I woke up at 3am and then the thoughts and almost panic stepped into my awareness.  All my addresses and my air tickets and everything my mind was determined to 'find' in my missing mailbox kept me awake till around 4.30. Then I jolted out of bed to take Molly and myself for a run around 7am.


The rest of the day I had brain fog.  I'd tried to call some of the people that I thought can help me, but they're on a conference.  So I realised that all I can do is wait.


I had moments of thinking of going out but Valentines day seems to have turned Johannesburg into a bit of a frenzy so I changed my mind. The tiredness hit me and I just surrendered. The animals were happy to have me stay house bound.



Tomorrow is a new day.
