it's my fourth day returning to full time work hours and it appears that they are taking their toll already. i'm tired. but i sleep early. and because i sleep early, i'm on a different schedule to everyone else. so then it's like i've died again. kind of enjoying the solitude, but at the same time, it feels like i'm drifting aimlessly in a big, big ocean. it's a nice, relaxing feeling until ...
