Struggled to get up today. I felt very tired and stressed for some reason. I had a weird dream where I was asking a woman why she was smoking. She wrapped her tobacco in this large sheet of newspaper and lit it by going around the circles the end of the rolled newspaper produced. Another … Continue reading Lest we forget: Visiting Auschwitz
