I’ve been up for more than five hours and don’t appear to have achieved anything yet today. This does not bode well.

I should just soak up the laziness. I suspect I’m going to be in motion again soon. The outside world is starting to become insistent about it. My travel kit is scattered all over the house.

But, on days like that, I do not know time, and blameless exile is my state.

…I should probably get dressed, right?
