sharplittleteethWalked home from work.
Up through the Fitzroy Gardens, past skeletal trees in the dark. Then across the road to East Melbourne. Bats flew silent overhead. Victorian townhouses and Art-Deco apartments loomed like ghosts.
And then down Bridge Road. Furniture shops after dark are sinister. All those antique door knobs and designer couches huddled together. They're up to something.

My sleep has been terrible lately. My dreams are frenetic. I wake up exhausted. A. says I'm snoring again, despite the nasal surgery I had last year.
It's affecting my work. It's affecting my mood. So yesterday I saw my GP. He's referred me for a sleep study.
He also suggested I try a sleeping tablet. I took one last night. This morning I woke exhausted and drugged.
I won't be doing that again.
