N had a nightmare, screaming, not aware of the world nightmare, so M and I sat with him until he fell back asleep. Poor kid. I’m awake now. Almost four, too late to go to sleep, I think. I’ll suck it up. People suck it up every day.

Exhaustion has crept up on me as we crawl toward spring break. The last of the dirty snow is melting, but when it’s gone all that will be left is dormant grass and dirty sidewalks. Should I do Tai Chi this morning? I sound like shit, don’t I?

I think I’ll brush my teeth and do Tai Chi.
