Lately I’ve been staying up very slightly late, just late enough to be tired all day the next day. I find myself unable to go to sleep earlier, and yet, I’m doing nothing with my time. I start one task and another looms overhead like a wife I’m cheating on, and I turn to it and go oh, sorry, you’re who I should be working on! Then, as I begin the dishes, it occurs to me the dishes are not my wife, homework is.

The dishes? Meh.
