Somewhere only we know

A very strange day.
I woke up at 5.30am. An ungodly hour. The winds were howling something fierce, shaking the windows. I couldn't sleep. An amazing phenomenon for a girl who likes to sleep for 12 hours.

It was still dark when I got up. It felt like I just went to bed. I could hear the garbage trucks outside. That cold silence of everyone else being asleep. Just sitting there, watching the day get lighter. No sunrise today. Just different shades of grey.

I had planned to size some canvas, but because the weather has been wet today, every now and then the glue emits this unusual odour. Not a smell you can get high from, but one that smells like rotting mushrooms and meat gone bad. Weather plays havoc with canvases. So I'm hoping all that moisture in the air right now don't cause these ones to sag.

I've been very restless today. I think there might have been an eclipse. I've vowed to stop reading my horoscope from this particular site: http://www.astrologyzone.com. It's just been two months of bad news. So screw that. Freewill all the way baby.

Another day ends, and it's quiet. Everyone's turned in.
Not so many lights now...

And I feel cold and wide awake...
