I am apparently loosing my mind. Now, I've never HEARD of early-onset dementia as a possible p___ symptom, so perhaps I just am well and truly crazy. How else can I explain?
- Strapping my cast on the wrong leg and not noticing until I was upstairs trying to put on my shoe.
- Telling the same person twice.
- Losing the ability to complete a sentence.
- Being strangely relieved at each and every symptom and incredibly dismayed when there are none. Also, each and every symptom is evaluated as a potential harbinger of doom. I don't give myself an out here.
- Fits of random giddy.
- Tone of my book changing--seriously--my voice is stuck somewhere in Cincinnati trying to get a flight home while my poor brain eeeks out a word at a time
- Becoming a total iVillage junkie in less than a week. Remember that whole plan I had to kick my internet addiction? And how well it worked for three months? Almost four? All bets are off now. I seriously find posts with such dizzying, garish signatures more interesting than well . . .anything. IQ drops 10 points after every visit. We're talking multiple visits a day too. I expect to be a vegetable sometime very soon.
- Developing a fondness for commercials. This after almost a decade of not watching network TV except in cases of national emergencies/elections/Olympics.
- The sudden urge to own Midwest Real Estate.
- Inability to finish a movie without falling asleep. But having insomnia most nights.
- Turning each bathroom visit into a religious experience. Tea leaves have been less examined than my T.P. Which, I know is way TMI, but still, I expected to be worshiping the porcelain god, just not quite like this.
So, yeah, I'm still here. 5 weeks and some odd days. And freaking crazy. I'd promise something about my job v soon, but I'm still working on the whole ability to think-about-something else thing. Soon though. I hope. Otherwise, Beta (as in Beta testing) will be visiting me at the funny farm. Or joining me in the poor house. Any ideas for distractions?
