Today I am writing after getting six and a half hours sleep. That would be fine if I hadn't been awake for forty two hours before that. I am oddly sparky,...
#9 - Excavations
I’m late with this. Again. It’s not a habit I’ll get into, but a pretty brutal work week has put me in a bit of a daze. I needed to employ the dreaded all-...
