I slept atrociously last night, on the back of too many nights not sleeping well; and then I had a lunch-date with a friend, and good though we were - she drank not at all, I barely had a pint - I came out of there feeling weary to my bones, promising to head back to the library and heading home instead.

Don't know what's brought it on: some physical trigger, or just general stress & anxiety or what. But anyway, here it is. I am half dead and probably quite lucky not to be the other half.
