03-27-pizza

after spending the evening on our patio chatting with neighbors, we decided pizza was in order. margherita and prosciutto from cipollina

Lately sleep is my enemy. At night I struggle to fall asleep. Once I’m asleep, I have nightmares and scream myself awake. I toss and turn, and then in the wee hours my cat decides he should claw the bedsheets and wake me up. And then I can’t sleep, and so I get up in the wee hours and work a bit, and then go back to bed in the late morning. It’s a very weird and slightly annoying schedule. Hopefully sometime soon it will all smooth out.

In other news, this song.♥

i feel strongly that an essay about your life with night terrors would be fascinating. i would even workshop it with you and help you pitch it to magazines. (this is my way of flying to austin, walking up to your house, and washi-taping you to a chair until you write it.)
