Hoping the Fog Will Clear

I've been living in a fog for the past week or so.  Really.  It's like I'm in a constant daydream or something.  People come into my office to talk about work or just to chit-chat and I am sitting across from them at my desk, trying to make eye contact.  Trying to concentrate.  Trying to be engaged. Trying to look interested.  Normally I don't have to try to do any of this.  I welcome interruptions at work.  I love having visitors.  But this week has been different.  It's hard to explain, but when I talk it almost feels like I am outside of my body watching myself.  I am awkward.  I go blank in the middle of a sentence.  I'm sure I'm coming across very rude.  I look disinterested.  I don't mean to be.  What's wrong with me?!  My brain is in a fog.  I hope it clears soon.

    I've been feeling the same way, but I'm pretty sure it's 'just' sleep deprivation.

    Hope your fog clears soon!

    I *have* been pretty tired this week. Maybe that's what it is! It's a long weekend, so I'll try to relax and hopefully be refreshed for next week!

    Did you accidentally give up caffeine?? No, seriously, enjoy the long weekend. I hope the sunshine moves in and sweeps the fog away.

    I'm giggling at Stacia's comment because that's just what I was thinking. I was visiting a friend last summer and found myself totally zoning out and a little headachey. Only later did my husband and I realize that she had been making decaf coffee all weekend. The horror! :)

    Too funny, Kristen!
    I wish it was just a lack of caffeine, but I don't think I've been slipped any decaf so it must be something else. Hopefully just a break.

    I had a great day yesterday cheering on my son's two out of town baseball games. The weather was beautiful and they won both games! I didn't feel foggy. Let's hope it stays that way!
