Day 3 - 313 -- Feeling Foggy

I woke today tired and feeling foggy. In class I said the next group presentation was on the 8th, so we'd do it later. The response from students was that today was the 8th. I stopped and wondered if the time change made me not know what time it was or what day it was. The day went fairly well with more house repair work getting finished and some brief meetings.  Once I left the office, I stopped to buy milk at the drug store. It felt very loud in the store with two kids yelling across the large store to their parent. I picked up the milk and stood in line to pay. The noisy kids were now running around me. I seemed to zone out a bit and the guy behind me had to tell me twice that it was my turn. Paying seemed easy until I found my club card and the transaction had been completed before scanning my card. This meant calling the manager to correct this on the register. As I stood there with the yelling continuing around me, I'm not sure I even made eye contact with the girl behind the counter. I do remember saying if there is a problem can we just cancel this since I couldn't stay there much longer. The manager arrived at that point. I managed to lift my head and say to them that I had a migraine and the noise was hurting me. The cashier said she was having a bad day, too. When I looked at her she was in tears. I wasn't sure that my actions had been part of that or if she had something really major going on.

I've not had a headache like that before -- it was short-lived. I didn't realize anything was happening until I'd entered the store and it was when I was at the counter that I realized what was happening. I must have looked or acted like someone under the influence. Once I got home, with some rest I felt better, ate some food and when trying to write the blog I fell asleep. So another late entry here today. A song that encompasses the feeling I experienced was chosen for today. The singer is outstanding. Enjoy!

Lost in a Fog -- Ella Fitzgerald
