Something’s not right

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man (Discworld, #11; Death, #2

)

I got back to sleep this morning and kept waking up but couldn't move couldn't even open my eyes and then realized I was still asleep and woke up and was still frozen. It happened a few times. I am not actually sure if the last time I woke I was actually sleeping or awake but I was locked inside my own body again but slowly forced my eyelids open and I was awake.

Golden retrievers are definitely better. Quote for the night.

“God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.”
― Terry Pratchett, Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter,

Hmm... God sure sounds impish and loveless, huh?

Re: My rambling page

Maybe I should change god in that quote to life or existence in general. I don't think God is either but that is a very good representation of what reality is for me atm.

Goodnight

New day new start. I've got to try and study today without letting the fear take over. I've got to try and stand up on my own feet and stand strong.

I've got to try and stay me.

Remember the willow, perhaps, @Gillie1

It stays strong by remaining pliable.

All the best!

@Kyle1 Yes sorry I forget to add the @ but it could also be a general shout-out to people too. When unwell I get too self-focused.

Re: My rambling page

I'm heart glad for you, @Gillie1

Though I do confess: I don't know what your assignment relates to...

Can I ask?

Um, as for me? I'm kind of numb at the moment. It's a beautiful sunny day. I'm out and about, walking two worlds of appointments and aimlessness. Both feel the same to me: a big old cumulonimbus of "whatever" ! ...
