INSOMNIAC-MESSAGEBOARD

A
My downstairs neighbor is DJing the sound of being conscious during surgery, and my sideways neighbors have floodlights that get set off by ants.

This is an INSOMNIAC message board, for those with MEDICAL difficulties sleeping, not people whose environments prevent them.

Editing manuscript. My brother passed away before finishing a project - was a translator.

A
My condolences about your brother.

C
Thank you…was a few months ago…not sure about fate of this project.
Thought it would feel like honoring him—and it does—but also like I find in front of me a shadow-bearing knot and I work and I work and I am surprised, in the end, when all that’s in my hands is string.

B
Maybe
