Rain over me

Looks like the last week of this month will be a gloomy week for me, it has been raining for these few days already. On the first day of the week I got soaked wet on my way to work. I shivered a lot once I entered the office. Luckily I keep extra clothing and a glass of hot chocolate helped eased my cold body.

The next day, it rained heavily for the whole day. When I reached home, I wanted to bathe early so that I won't catch cold but then the heater broke. Without thinking, I just showered and due to the extra cold water, I shivered and caught cold. This time though its my fault, I should'ave heated up water using the kettle.

Today, I woke up late due to the cool and drowning sound of the rain. The sudden change of my surroundings made me into a hell of a lazy person. I even shut off my phone alarm only to be awaken by a second one which I put further from the bed. Due to this I managed to show up at work barely on time.

I can't blame it on the rain or weather, it's just me being lazy and super unproductive. I felt that I am giving myself an excuse to be lazy in my mind due to this sudden drop of ambient temperature. I even took short naps in the office which I manage to cover up using my super fast power up when someone comes by.

This is my ideal almost perfect weather to just snuggle and cocoon myself for a day of hibernation.

Strings

Couldn't seem to sleep and kept waking up, reaching out for something comforting but couldn't as it all seemed so faraway. Those strings which are music to my ears, aren't within my grasp. I remember every moment spent together, feeling and strumming those six strings in harmony.

Those feeling are so faraway without the instrument in my hands. I can't remember why I didn't bring my solid wooden panel guitar back then. Now since I am without, I realized my loss. I am a very forgetful person, even if the memories are there, to actually feel them I need those strings.

"It scares me if I feel numb and can't feel that memory."

Whenever I take hold of it, I can remember my friend, teaching me lead notes of "Nothing Else Matters" which is about 8 years ago and another friend singing to me Nicholas Tse's song, "Without Me" last year. There are other songs which reminds me of how I felt during every significant memory in timeline mode.

"I can't seem to remember how it feels to be singing to her on my guitar."

It's a shame I didn't have those strings with me right now. I'll buy a solid one next month, might be very expensive, but might be worth it for the feeling, just for that moment and whenever I can't sleep I can lullaby myself to death. For now, I'll just force myself to sleep.

Sleeping beauty..

Figure 1: Sweet dreams.

Rest is essential to the maintenance of the body. Inadequate rest will lead to inability to perform well in mental as well as physical skills. So the main message is to basically get at least 8 hours of rest and not more or less in a day. I am basically receiving less so I'm feeling very light-headed every time I get back from my night shifts.
