Do you ever wake up feeling like you’ve been gone for a very long time? This has happened to me, even during short periods of rest, like 3 hour naps. The only reason I can tell the feeling of being gone for longer than normal is because of my dog. The first thing I do when I wake up is pet him. I know that if I haven’t pet him in a while, he will be extremely soft to the touch. I know this because after I return from trips away from my dog, his fur is the softest thing I’ve ever felt. But day to day, I am not concerned with the feeling of fluffiness emanating from him. So all this to say, sometimes after sleeping, when I wake up I know I haven’t pet my dog in a very long time. What an interesting way to think about the passage of time..
