For the past few days I have been feeling spacey. I don't feel like I'm really in the world. I'm not really connecting with people anymore when we talk. Today I stopped at a stop sign, then spaced out for a moment before remembering to go. I'm starting to think I'm going a bit nutty.
Moe, good idea to read books with winter scenes! You share some good ideas too. Photos of winter scenes are helpful during summer, and photos of summer scenes helpful in winter.
I also find math problems help keep me oriented, even though I've forgotten so much.
I was thinking that one of the strange feelings about the spaceyness is the sense that I've found myself having slipped into a situation unlike any other, a situation in which I've never found myself, for which I was never educated, prepared, or planned for. Many events are alien to me. I'm still struggling to find adequate solutions as well as to successfully adapt to ongoing changes.
It's somewhat like having interviewed for a job, accepted it, and found it's nothing for which I was prepared.
Sometimes it reminds me of the movie The Martian - lost and abandoned in an alien environment, being forced to make a lot of uncomfortable compromises to survive. Except that I'm still here on earth.
Thanks for that important information about celery being a diuretic!
The advice given to me was drink 16 oz., and I modified that to 8 oz.
Will revise my celery juicing accordingly.
The old adage 'Moderation in everything' holds true, once again, and always consider the original source before passing on info to others.
I need a legal disclaimer written for all my posts now!
I can't think straight when I'm with my mother, following her around stores. I can't think straight when she's in the car with me, talking and asking questions. Sometimes when I'm driving her somewhere I end up turning down the wrong road, and have to turn around and go back and she grunts.
I've been having trouble remembering what day of the week it is. It blurs together. Is it Tuesday? Wednesday? Do I have to take her somewhere today? I have to keep checking the calendar.
I agree about staying hydrated.
