All Wasilla: study of the young writer, Shoshana; the girl who walked away from the school bus; raven hops off dead tree
It has been a long time since I have run one of my universe-wide famous Studies of the Young Writer, Shoshona - so here she is:
Study of the Young Writer, Shoshana, #1,000,003: she stirs my Americano.
This is the girl who walked away from the school bus. The temperature soared to 44 searing degrees today (6.7 C). Snow is melting fast.
I spotted this raven perched atop this dead tree. I stopped and waited to see if it would hop off and how it would look when it did.
Sure enough, the raven hopped off. And this is how it looked when it did.
And be sure - I have at least two more White Mountain Apache stories coming and at least four or five more from India. I intend to finish them all before the end of next week - but none tonight.
Physically, I still feel very strange. It is still hard for me to function. It is just about 11:00 PM right now - still pretty early for me, but I cannot keep my eyes open. I cannot think. I cannot write. I will go to bed soon. Then, if tonight proves the same as every other night that I have been home - almost one week now, I will fall asleep almost immediately - a rare thing for me, but something I have done maybe every night. Then I will wake up sometime between 12:30 AM and 2:30 AM and I won't be able to go back to sleep. Tomorrow, I will once again feel like hell, just as I did today, as I did yesterday. I take Melatonin almost every night, but now it occurs to me that I ran out of Melatonin after I reached Phoenix, before I returned to Wasilla.
Maybe that is why I can't adjust.
I had better buy some Melatonin tomorrow and see if that makes a difference.
