2/24/19

At 9 am Michaelangelo left for the airport to go on a seven-week tour in The States. With half open eyes, I had made him breakfast an hour before. I was sad he was leaving, but too stressed to walk him to the train, knowing I only had 30 minutes to myself before I would be off for an 11-hour shift. That night at 3 am, I woke up choking on my own saliva after I had fallen asleep in the couch watching The Daily Show. I coughed my way to the bedroom with an uncomfortable feeling of vulnerability and tucked myself into bed. Seconds later I was out like a rock until my alarm woke me up the next day.
