Later that day...

Almost human today. I slept for about an hour after turning the computer off, but bad dreams arrived pretty quickly. As did truly weird dreams. I was standing in the kitchen, making a cup of tea, and one of my old students walked in, gave me a smile and left via the garden door. Then another person I didn't know did the same, then another and another. Then I woke.

And then, back in a dream world I bumped into an old friend in Grand Central Station. Things got worse form there.

When the rest of the family woke up I had another go at sleeping but it didn't woke. However, some powerful painkillers took the headache away and now, annoying cough aside, I'm almost ready to be useful again.
