Since the recent shaving of my hair from my head, I have a contradicting self- and real-image. The way I view myself, the way Richard Mayhew views himself, is not the way I appear to others, including myself. That is, I see myself as another, viewing my body, as one who is not me, due to this self-/real-image contradiction. Thus, there is discord in my mental/physical state. Eventually, I'm sure that my hair will come to a point that I and Other-I can agree upon, and all will be well.
Nextward, I have read lately some old entries I have written in which I describe insomnia, or times in which I have been unable to sleep. It seems that I have been struck with this again to a point. I work late nights, and have done so all semester. For the last couple of weeks, however, I have spent many weeknights unable to sleep, when before so, I could. A strange combination of things have caused this. But that's for me to know, and you to find out. (That includes me from the future, who may one day look back at this entry, and will have forgotten what it could be to which I refer. How much of a sleuth can I be into my own memories?! What fun!)
