I've been reckoning w/a recalcitrant bout of insomnia in recent weeks as my postdoc contract draws to a close. Unable to sleep whatsoever Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, I rose at 5 AM for a morning workout before work, then set alarms for a 1-hr power nap that evening b4 trivia w/my friends. 🧵

I'm so frustrated by this spot,

A recalcitrant and ugly dot.

I wish in vain to make it go,

Instead it spreads and seems to grow.

I spent most of the day gardening, as long as digging up recalcitrant bad weeds and trying to make other things grow there counts as gardening -- because it could also be seen as weeding & shoveling dirt, slowly.
