I concluded today that there is no such thing as object permanence. This explains why my glasses are not ever where I left them. I wonder if they actually do disappear and maybe I manifest them back. Maybe we’ve all been sold a lie.

I'm looking for a man in finance... Glasses, 6"5, Red Stripes...

I’m working clinically on Saturdays. The head shift has been a bit much. I have literally just now ended off a case note with the words “best wishes” …

I’m reading a journal article that I rather stupidly printed on A3 paper. As I read it I have to move the paper upwards. It feels a little like the beginning to a Star Wars movie and therefore much more exciting. I shall be reading all articles like this in future.
