Reset Fifty, Day Six
Jul. 17th, 2024 12:16 amI experienced another of my temporal displacements Tuesday evening. I woke up from a nap and couldn't remember when I'd gone to sleep, and because the light around the window blinds indicated twilight I suddenly thought I'd slept all night, and missed the cool night I'd been anticipating. I got up and felt an intense pain in my left ankle, but shuffled to the window and opened it, then shuffled to the thermostat and turned on the fan, then to the bathroom where my phone was charging and checked the time. It said 7:21, but the temperature was 91 degrees. I thought impossible and hit the update button, and when it updated it was still 91 degrees.
That's when it finally dawned on me that it was 7:21pm, and still Tuesday. I went back to turn off the fan and close the windows, and got back into bed to see if my ankle could stop hurting. After while it did, and around eight o'clock I got up and returned to the computer. In time I realized that I had gone to bed around four o'clock in the afternoon, because it was too hot to do anything else. At some point after getting up I heated some dinner (not real tasty) and gradually my brain settled into the then-current moment. I still feel rather displaced though, and probably will for the rest of the night. I'm glad it's getting cooler, because I need refreshment badly. I might get back in bed because, with the big window open, that's really the coolest place in the apartment. And my butt is getting sore from sitting in this uncomfortable chair anyway.
