I have sleeping sickness. Okay, maybe not. That was an exaggeration. Seriously though, I am completely exhausted. Normally, I am something of an insomniac, but in the last two weeks I haven't been able to stop sleeping. I'm perpetually tired. Two hours after waking, I want to take a siesta. Eight at night and I want to go to bed. During virtually all moments in between, I struggle to keep my eyes open.
Granted, I was terribly ill just a week ago and the tickle in the back of my throat suggests that I will be again soon. I'm teaching and attending virtually daily meetings in Manchester and trying to collect interviews and materials in London, which makes for an interesting commuting pattern. My growing concern about the state of the US economy and its impact on those I love is beginning to take a toll. Oh, and the jet lag. Can't forget the jet lag.
But since there is very little I can do to change or control any of these things at this particular moment, I am sticking with sleeping sickness.
