A Stark Contrast Between Two Days

Tuesday was quite a good day, when it got going. I don't remember much about the morning, even though I know that it is in my brain somewhere. Tuesday afternoon was good and got warmer as the walking group got further along on the health walk. It was a good feeling to get to the Gateway for a cup of tea. I had a chat with Carl and sorted out the lift to Taunton next Tuesday. I also got a couple of things done at the dole office and council office in Yeovil. In the evening I managed to get caught up with emails and messages before deciding to leave the Planet Maz show until Wednesday morning

Wednesday got off to a slow start with this morning's absence taking it's time to settle down. The first indication of a problematic morning was when I had an episode of partly waking up. This has only happened once before and it scared me plenty then. It is a weird experience that I don't like one little bit. My brain decided that it was time to wake up so it did, partly. I could hear the clocks ticking and the traffic outside. I could feel the duvet keeping me warm and the bed underneath me. I could feel my pyjamas against my skin but I couldn't see anything. My body was still asleep. My brain had not yet woke it up and it stayed like that for quite some time. When it did join the rest of me in the land of the living, the morning was well over half gone. I sat on the side of the bed, moving my arms around, picking things up then putting them down again. Sometimes I examined an item before putting it down again. It was lunchtime before I had myself together enough to start my day, or afternoon. It took a while for me to focus on scripting Planet Maz, which can take a few hours of research to collect information before writing the script. Recording the show is mostly done in one take since I got back into working to time constraints. Today it was done in three or four takes, I can't be sure exactly.

So Wednesday has been a mixed up day. Scary stuff, weird stuff, slow working stuff and a fragmented memory all making it a difficult day. Even now, I am having difficulty typing this post. I can't find the keys that I want to get this finished, which slows down my typing speed that wasn't the fastest anyway. Thursday will be more of a regular day with a bit of luck.TTFN.
