I’ve been feeling so tired these days. Work is, of course, long hours as everything’s still in a semi-but-better mess. I come home from work, muster the energy to make dinner (mostly by the sheer fact that I love cooking and it’s the best way for me to de-stress), pass out involuntarily on the bed after eating, wake up for a few minutes in the wee hours of the night to brush my teeth etc, and sleep until morning, dangerously close to the time to start work. I’ve been sleeping, on average, maybe 9 to 10 hours every night but I’m always drained. I didn’t think too much of it but just started taking multi-vitamins. I’ve also been strangely hungry all the time these days.

Well, according to my supervisor. It’s really time I de-wormed myself.

Apparently, every time she comes here, even for a bit, she gets some kind of strange parasite. And she’s been living in east Africa for a looong time. It’s something about the eastern Uganda water and climate, I guess (I’m joking).
