明け方 (akegata - dawn)

明け方

Last night I crawled into bed around 7:30pm, no presentation written and that was it! Despite having intermittant disjointed dreams I didn't wake til 10 to 6 and as I didn't doze off again for over half an hour I got to see the dawn for the first time in a long time! Inspite of my dizzy head I felt compelled to do something with the moment other than down more cold syrup so I took this photo whilst lying in bed. It doesn't really capture the spreading orange and blue glow, or the remaining lights blinking on city buildings but still, it's a record vaguely indicative of what I can see every morning - or what I would see should I not have stayed up excessively late and thus actually be awake at this time of morning.

In the end this morning I decided that, given my head was having difficulty concentrating whilst I was lying down and my eyes are so hurty that they constantly close to springing to tears, I could afford to stay home. So, I hear you ask 'what am I doing out of bed ?' To which I reply 'the world waits for no woman, no matter how sick' and the thesis proposal is still due monday, along with my incomplete presentation tomorrow. However, no-one has seen fit to respond to any of my emails to date and thus I am waiting a little bit longer before heading back to bed! The intermanet is ever the perfect procrastination tool!
Hopefully, I'll recover somewhat by the afternoon or I may as well stay sick for tomorrow! What a chore illness is . . . I really hope I haven't given this to Alex too!
