I’m still having a hard time today. My brain has slumped into this royal funk where I can’t even get my last week’s worth of homework done, much less anything else. I am silently hoping that my dad will find a way to occupy his day tomorrow so that I can sleep all day. That would be ideal. Then what, though? I’m not sure.

Today is one of those that I wish I could just go away for a while. Away from life. Away from reality. Away from all the things that challenge me. But even mentally checking out doesn’t feel like an option.
