shallow breathing

im home today and thoroughly tethered to a book. i dread reading the upcoming chapters because, although i know the story well, i fear reliving the story. i will push on.

im fortified with toast but lost among the words.

its good to have a story to escape too - if theres not a bound form handy, i always have those that are in my mind. is it healthy to dream so much?

dreaming does at least get my mind off the rumors that i will lose my job in the next few months. it does cover over the fact that im not too happy these days. and i can always count on them to help me slip into oblivion every night. maybe its only unhealthly if you are stuck in those dreams and unable or unwilling to return to the waking world. i cant say that the idea isnt appealing.

perhaps one day, you will see me in your dreams - waving to you from my own, saying hello, how are you, with a look of complete content on my face.
