Chapter Text
Observed symptoms: lethargy, insomnia (recorded last night), restlessness
I went on a long walk to get some fresh air during my lunch break. Which isn't to say that I always stay indoors at work. I lead some surveys and attend to events in town at times during work hours and I go for a run as part of my workout routine before dinner everyday. But with how I've been lately, I felt the need to get my body up and running to stave off the fatigue and refresh myself. I kept feeling an urge to do something else, anything that wasn't work all morning and couldn't get much done as a result.
Some of the townspeople I met expressed concern about the dark circles under my eyes. I reassured them that I was just busy lately and that I'll make sure not to overwork myself, but some of the ladies weren't convinced by my words and passed me some of their wares. The eatery's madame let me have my clam chowder and lemonade for free, which I felt really bad for. I have to return the favour soon.
I also bumped into Rui on the way back to my room to put away the townspeople's gifts and since I had far too many trinkets to keep all for myself, I gave a few of them to Rui. He was reluctant to pick, but I insisted and handed the confectioneries and snowglobe to him. If he's not going to remember to go out and get something or make his own meals, then the least he should do is munch on some snacks.
There isn't much to report here for today. I'm just horribly tired from the lack of sleep as far as I can tell. I'm feeling much better after my break, though, so I should be able to stay conscious until work ends for the day. I'll pour myself a cup of lavender tea before I sleep and see if it works this time.
