This has not been a good week for sleeping. Sunday night I couldn’t sleep (don’t ask me why). Monday night Norwegian television ran the J.K. Rowling special from BBC (Harry Potter and Me), which I’ve been wanting to see as people have been talking about it everywhere, at way too late o’clock (was a rerun from Friday, but I was out Friday). Tuesday, hm, got to bed pretty early Tuesday, but woke up feeling I’d only slept for 2 hours anyway. Yesterday I started Strong Poison (Sayers) and had to finish it. Tonight my father’s in town and we’re meeting some people at Justisen. Doesn’t bode well (for sleep, I mean, am looking forward to the night in general).
Problem with being tired is I feel thoroughly disinclined to work. Also feel thoroughly unqualified, but I think that might be my imagination.
I have a very annoying cough. It is all the more annoying for being infrequent, because it makes it seem a bit silly to go to the doctor. Thing is, it’s been going on for some time. I get one or two coughing fits a day, very dry, feels like I’ve got dust (or a hair or something equally ticklish and icky) stuck in my throat. Water generally helps. But I must have been getting these fits since way before Easter, which would make it a month or so at least. Can you get smoker’s cough when you don’t smoke and generally avoid people who smoke? Maybe the doctor isn’t such a bad idea after all. I think I can even book an appointment over the net (mmm, I like the net).
