Patient: Human, female, young adult
Symptoms: Unable to sleep, busy mind. Restless sleep, loss of focus, bouts of agitation, alternating flushing and pallor, rapid pulse, laughing and speaking in her sleep, nervous stomach and chest pain
Treatment: Chamomile tea and rest
Meeting:
Miss Jackilyn arrived complaining she hadn't slept in two nights. We talked. Her reason for the restlessness was an overly active and occupied mind. This, I'm very familiar with. Tea was suggested to help her calm down and a bed offered for her to rest in. She managed to sleep for a short time.

Mister Bíld has proven himself well and able. I'll be heeding his words and advice in the future, as I feel he's able to think further outside the matter than I at times. He has made notes and observations that I was oblivious too. This will prove useful.
* How to give the patient more ability to move?
I have an odd feeling that I have been swindled or at least been made a fool of. The infirmary was visited by a dwarf and a familiar hobbit, mister Walstaff Cowhorn and mister Lambwise Twofoot.
The dwarf claimed to be a knight and mister Twofoot, his squire. They came seeking work from me, I had none. When the dwarf offered that they would travel to every corner of the world, I was tempted. I've long saught the flowers and seeds of the Balrog's Breath for further study. When mentioned, he insisted that I fund the travel south. I declined.
I have promised them ten gold, should they be able to bring back a corpse that still walks on its own. Foolishly I've promised away the rest of my money. However, if they'll be able to find this, then it may be worth it. I'll be able to continue father's research.
Miss Silver is doing well and she continues her work. She's an outspoken woman and her progress of thought can be interesting, if worrying at times. I still find myself wondering if she has suffered a blow to the head and if it has anything to do with the missing ear. Her and mister Bíld seemed to get along well, perhaps he may be able to spot something that I cannot.
The matter of miss Jackilyn remains unresolved. When miss Silver and mister Bíld stated that the woman was love sick and asked that I would court her, I could only ask "why."
I'm not certain what I've done to win her affection and I don't know how to proceed with the matter. It has kept me up and I wonder if love is truly a sickness. Without the addition of love, all her symptoms would lead to an underlying illness, something to be treated with medicine and rest.
Why? It's the only question I have in my mind. A question without any answers.
