After a while I stopped writing, and put away my laptop, and called Alida (as I mentioned earlier that I did), and then, after our call had ended, I fell asleep without intending to, simply because I was tired; and when I woke it was dark inside the room, but was not yet the middle of the night, only something like 11 p.m. So I didn’t continue to lie there, on top of the covers, on the bed, but instead got up and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth, though while I was standing in front of the mirror, at the sink, brushing them, I thought of something else I wanted to write, in the document that I’d begun, on my laptop, so that after I’d finished in the bathroom and had switched off the light and had returned to the bed I opened my laptop again, and sat with it like I’d been doing, when I’d first arrived in the room, hours earlier, with the pillows against the headboard, and continued to type, now and then pausing to read what I’d written and to consider whether any of it needed to be changed.
