Yesterday night I got into bed within reasonable time to get enough sleep. But as soon as I lay down, I heard a mosquito. And when you have a mosquito inside your mosquito net, it is almost impossible to go to sleep. I couldn't see it, so I decided to try to ignore it, and let it bite me. It just kept on making that irritating sound. I tried listening to music, but when I listen to music, I can't sleep. And even my in-ears didn't keep the buzzing out. In the end I turned off the music and finally (after approx. 45 minutes) managed to go to sleep.
I slept fretfully, having confusing and stressful almost-nightmares. I woke up a full hour before I had to. I thought the mosquito was gone, but I thought wrong. Almost as soon as I woke up I heard the irritating buzzing. I decided it would be no use trying to go to sleep again, and I didn't want to try to hunt the mosquito down to kill it (I was too tired). So my attempt at getting enough good sleep failed miserably.
I decided to go outside, as I knew the sun would soon rise. I watched the sunrise for a while, but the sun was rising behind clouds. It was beautiful nonetheless. I sat there listening to music, trying to forget that I was tired, while the sun illuminated the world more and more. The sun made the edges of the clouds turn to gold, and I could also see rain coming over the mountains. I love having a view so that you can see the weather coming.
I also saw a big sailboat with three sails up, one after the other. I don't know what kind of boat it was, since it was too far away. There are always lots of sailboats passing here. They sail from Grenada to St. Lucia (as far as I can remember being told) on the leeward side of the islands. It is really nice to see all those sailboats pass every day, and I imagine it would be wonderful going on that trip on board a sailboat.
