Sleep. That's what my body tells me, though I was quite adamant to pay any attention to it, and you'd think it'd give me breathing space to write like I was about to, but no! Why? Apparently, saying no to sleep intensifies headaches, which was exactly what was pushing hard on my nerves.
Having no use fighting what had already had its victory dance, I finally let my phone drop on the bed and gave the sleep what it desperately wanted. My body? It rejoiced! The moment I woke up after a few hours of sleep. It was nice plus the headache had reduced a lot which was refreshing.
Then why did I have to fight off the sleep in the first place? Yeah. About that. I faced the same ordeal last night. After yesterday's walk, I had an intense load of work to deal with, and by the time I was done, I was beyond exhausted.
But, I had promised myself almost in a "pinky finger format" I'd finally make my first active post for the year. I had that great energy running through my mind when I was in the promised land. However, reality slaps hard, and it gives me a “knock-out-to-bed”, much to my dismay.
Now, you get where the strong head came in toward sleep? Since we've clarified that, let's talk about yesterday's walk.
Not in my usual time, but in an earlier form, I had woken up. The weather was cold but not the kind of "I-am-too-cold-to-go-out," but the kind that still gave that warmth of letting you know the sun was up there doing its job. And it was. The walk was accompanied by grocery shopping, which prompted the long walk in the first place.
That doesn't mean I have been lazing around since the new year cos No! I have been going out but not the kind that takes me very far from home like yesterday's walk did. And sometimes, I had gone out with no phone. Just me by myself soaking in whatever left of the weather in an evening walk.
Yesterday's walk, however, took all morning from me because I wasn't just going grocery shopping but also trying to locate a new place my map had shown me earlier. Instead of taking a transit, I had decided to stretch my leg further, hence the need to wake up early and come back before the sun gets on its highest frequency.
And that was how the day started. The ending part was basically me back home getting things in order before putting myself into work mode. By the time I was ready to let the day's activity count be known, the sleep world claimed. Still, here I am sticking to the promise made even though it took more than a few hours to finally write and publish.
