Exhaustion

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2015.02.05

The Girl's almost sleeping through the night, now. By almost I mean, only waking once or twice to cry, and usually only needing her mum half the time.

Which has meant that we're mostly sleeping, too. For the first time since the child was born, I don't have that windy feeling of exhaustion, like there's a steady breeze blowing through my head where my brain is supposed to be.

It's nice.

rand()m quote

I feel fortunate that I enjoyed the blandishments of modernity. I had hip replacement and root canal. I was able to travel on airplanes. I was able to take cheap food for granted. I went to the movies. I enjoyed rock 'n' roll. And now I'm ready to move on.

—James Howard Kunstler
