Was caught by that 117. Checked my Gibbon. He began his narrative of Rome’s decline with the start of the second century, when it was at its height, staying itself from expanding by foreign conquest—except for Britain, brought under Rome that first century of Christ.
We never know the arc of an empire, especially when we live in it, until the aftermath of its “height.” And that definition of its acme will surely be different from those who drove it there.
You’re Lucky to have family members around you mostly helping out with not only the insurmountable challenge and weight of raising in your baby !
You are experiencing exhaustion, tiredness and fatigue from taking care of your child! No one can understand that unless they have gone through the same challenge!
However, I admire your constant productivity and creativity! Where do you find the strength, girl!?!
As for sleep, or lack of it, you should check out what our original or ancestral sleep pattern was before the industrial age!
You would take it more positively afterwards!
What is now called insomnia was, I found out, a normal wakefulness time in the middle of the night, that was used as inspirational, creative and social moments!
feels wild that I have been to ehden (the family of a friend’s husband is from there and we visited as part of their wedding celebrations). it’s such a beautiful place and I really enjoy these dispatches.
Reading this with a chocolate cookie in my mouth.
