horizontal (not) running

no idea as to when i started lying on the couch right after work, but i am pretty sure it's been a month already. 

a month of staying horizontal more than vertical because i just feel like it.

my brain wants me to practise arnis more

bake more

cook more

tend to the garden more

but no, the call of the couch is louder.

so i lie down and get dazed by the glare of my phone

scrolling

scrolling

scrolling

sometimes reading 

or staring out the window and into nothingness

or just closing my eyes

cos dreams are better than the reality.

============================

everything that occurred before 2020 tends to feel more like a dream now as each day passes by. that's all.

the great (over)sleep

guess i should put it out here for posterity. for the first time in history, i slept all morning yesterday. people in my inner circle would know how i moan and groan about how i get only 5-6 hours of sleep each night. granted, i woke up at 5am yesterday thanks or no thanks to my body clock, checked my phone for a bit, then fell back asleep after a while. it must have been such a sound one though cos the next time i woke up, it was already super warm in my room which meant it was already noon or nearing it. it was about 11.15. i basked in this rare feat for a while and then i really had to get up since the heat was becoming unbearable. 

this reminds me of a friend of mine whose body clock is so whacked that she has this enviable feat of sleeping all morning. i am only slightly jealous of that since i only wanted to have the ability to have an interrupted sleep, not a body clock that is more constantly in sync with a time zone eight hours behind ours. we often joke about it with me asking her for some of her sleeping "energy" the way she does.

so anyway. one of my adult wishes was granted yesterday. grabe, i feel so proud of myself. ha! wala lang.
