52/423: Stupid
May. 2nd, 2026 12:04 amFriday I had another one of those temporal displacements I sometimes get when waking up. I put myself down for a nap fairly early in the afternoon, and when I woke up around half past six I had forgotten when I'd gone to sleep and misinterpreted the cloudy late afternoon light outside the window as morning twilight. When I finally realized it was still Friday evening (thanks to the temperature reading on the phone of 82 degrees) I felt strangely disappointed.
I suspect that the disappointment came from the realization that I hadn't had dinner, and would eventually have to figure out what to eat. I still haven't though, so the disappointment lingers. I took the edge off my appetite with half a cup of coffee over a big scoop of vanilla ice cream with a bit of heavy cream and a dash of seltzer.
Well crap! I just nodded off at the computer for twenty minutes. Now it's not yesterday anymore. Being old is so stupid.
