I slept very badly last night, possibly even not at all. I don’t even know why. I think I just didn’t read enough before bed to get sleepy like I normally do, and ended up lying awake for a bit, and then instead of drifting off my mind started thinking about the lack of sleep, which is a trap.
So today I was a bit tired and lazy. I worked on things slowly, making one comic, and teaching 5 online classes, but not doing much else. I took a walk up the street to buy some more rye flour for my sourdough. I was hoping to do some more housecleaning prior to the painting (in 3 weeks), but didn’t really get going on that.
Oh, the most interesting thing of the day happened while I was up the street. I went into the bookstore for a bit to browse around the shelves. The shop was empty except for one staff member. While I was in there, another woman came in, and the staff lady recognised her, and I overheard their conversation. The other customer was my former Member of Parliament for my electorate, Kylea Tink. She’d just come in to look for a specific book, and the staff member helped her find it. I didn’t go over and say hello, but in hindsight I should have expressed my appreciation for her efforts representing the local community in Parliament.
