I have an awful headache from the sniffling. Flickering from the lamp makes ghostly shadows on the walls, taunting my restless mind even more. The sleep is far from comforting and does not take away the fatigue as it is meant to.
My mind wanders over and under, in and out of all the possible nooks and crannies and hideaways of the problems and perspectives. There is a veritable dent forming on the bridge of my nose from spectacles resting their weight there. A knot in the base of my throat from sickness or worry or both I can be sure.
Thoughts of sharp dull searing crackling relief are on my brainwaves. Only moments of despair and shock and then a distraction from the aching of decision-making.
My head does ache so awfully.
