After a day spent with my doctor and making phone calls back and forth with the neurologists office, being told another EEG should be done then discussing which neurologist should do it, I decided to clear out my mind by spending time resting which turned into sleeping. That was followed by twelve hours of slumber.
The house was quiet. The cats slept. I was toasty warm in the bed and so were they. It was light outside, then it was dusk then it was dark. I stretched and slowly moved my body out of bed. It was only 4:30. I watched a DVD series called The Pretender. Jarod's life is one where he was taken from his family as a little boy. As a grown adult he is searching for them. They call him a pretender because he has the intelligence to be anything he wants to be. And yet one of his discoveries was his love for ice cream! He carries a Pez in his pocket, went on a Twinkie binge and is not afraid to learn new things. He is ruthlessly sought after by the people who stole him but always outwits them and escapes.
He would be the equivalent of a modern day disciple of Christ. He has no permanent home, he helps people who are in trouble, prevents those who wish to do harm and gives over to the authorities the guilty ones. And yet he doesn't loose his compassion or love. There's always a message in each episode and a theme between he and another character. They "grew up" together and share a common feeling of loneliness yet lived in completely opposite worlds.
This TV show helps me through lonely times.
This is the German Intro to "The Pretender."
