Project: Return to life

And how daunting a project this seems, at the moment.  After the first full night’s sleep for over a week, I’m left in no doubt how much is still left for me to catch up with: my list of tasks for today is short; the tasks are simple; but I feel completely overwhelmed.  

 

I’ll turn to sure-fire antidotes: a long walk with the dogs by the river (the beach is more, tempting but the tide is in); a large glass of freshly made carrot juice; a lazy spell with a good book. 

 

And by then,

given the time of year,

it’ll be dusk,

and this

sleep

i

ness

will seem

almost legitimate. 

 

 

It’s the difference between stress timing and syllable timing, on reflection.
