a Journey

It's been such a tiring fortnight, right now, all I want to do is to pay my body back for all the times that I cheated it of sleep via all sorts of unnecessary means. Like the cuppas of coffee that I've grown a wee bit too affectionate with and accustomed to. Although I don't want to say it; I know what I've become. An add*ct. Even tea doesn't come close.

But right now, as I'm taking a breather from work (learning how to do data coding for the mass of focus group discussions that has been done -- is this even English to you?), I'd give anything for a bed, soothing music & a lovely purr-inducing cat nap. I am exhausted. Even tired doesn't come close. And the body has done nothing but confirm this fact for me with a bout of sore throat and now, fever. Right-ho.

All I want is to sleep. Sleep everything away. Sleep away the decisions that must be made, the projects, the deadlines and the way I keep missing my dearies. I hope I can survive this month decently. It's too early in the school term to be THIS tired/exhausted.

Right now, I wish I was somewhere serene & isolated. An island of blue skies and white waves. No man is an island, yes. But sometimes, we all need our little getaway.
