tales from an ordinary world

Time floats by.

When I was trying to sleep last night I tried to imagine I was floating, slowly moving my stomach as I breathed, in order to simulate the feeling of small, slow waves. I thought it might help, but my restless mind couldn't keep it up for more than a minute or two without giving into distraction and a general sense of worry.

Situations, either bad or merely undesirable - I can't stop them inventing themselves in my head, demanding that I play out the "what if ?" scenario to its grisly end.
