now on 16 hours of sleep over the last 5 days. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.5.

emotionally in tatters, but my brain must be lighting the northern sky right now. just realized it's another 22 day and these are the days when i seem to have the best creative output, when the most interesting or magnetic things tend to happen. most recent 22 day was 7/31, last friday. what a day that was. i really want to get part II of the cruise report done tonight, so my mind can finally relax. otherwise, given my sleep pattern, if tonight's rest drops under 1 hour, i'm afraid my body might induce a coma. i can't remember my mind ever being so overwhelmed with energy that it messed up my sleep this badly before. gotta get the words out. unfortunately, i think part II is probably best told by night-time me, so i'm waiting for the sun to go down.
