Counting Sheep
When I was leaving work today I noticed that there were some sheep in the field across from the business park. I had never seen these sheep before. But all of a sudden, there they were. Hundreds of sheep. Then while I was driving down the road, I noticed more sheep in another field.
And so it got me thinking. Maybe these sheep were always there. But wouldn't I have noticed them before? Maybe I was too busy thinking about work stuff. But all these sheep? Then I couldn't think if I had ever seen these sheep before or not. I've seen plenty of sheep. But these particular sheep?
And now I'm thinking, did this really even happen? Did I even go to work today? Were there really any sheep in that field? What day is it?
I've come to only one explanation. I'm going crazy.
So now I should go to bed
...and count sheep.
