Things That Only Happen When You're Tired!

I'm tired. Its my own fault.. very late night (but did play cello.. weird but true).. But I;ve been noticing myself do strange things all day as a result.. thought I'd be all vulnerable and share:
1- No spacial awareness
2- Dribbling food (was only soup, don't think anyone noticed)
3- Lack of prioritisation (talk to visitor/ talk to colleague/ talk to God... errr)
4- Inability to finish sentence
5- Inability to remember wher you are in a conversation
6- Inability to multitask..

and to cap it all: I just found myself reading the emails that I had already trashed and trying to deal with them!

Doh!

Heh - I'd be up for that!

Other things that I find happen:

Thinking people are talking to/about you when they're not.
Hallucinating in the corner of your vision.
Full-on Hallucinating.
Tingly fingers.
Slow-moving eyes - can't follow things.

Recommendation: sleep :oD

I can add to that too....

- you go into the bathroom to put your dirty pants in the washing basket, lift the lid of the toilet and put pants down the loo.

- you put random foodstuffs away in the wrong cupboards in the kitchen

- you miss your junction on the M1 and have to take a different route to your destination. Can't say I've experienced this one, not being a driver, but I think I know someone who has....???

Making tea, take sugar out of cupboard, stop and wonder what your doing put it back in again and then stare at tea wondering who you made it for?

Walked downstairs to get something from office, got halfway across hall floor, stopped wondered what i was doing then realised i was fetching something, couldn't and still can't remember what.

Becoming more obsessive and grumpy about stupid things, or go from high to low with more horriblness than is right

Tendancey to believe even the worst of accusations

When making coffee, you pour the hot water into the sugar bowl.

Somebody comes around and nicks the one key you are looking for on your keyring.

2 x 10 = 21

You seriously consider phoning someone you had an argument with 6 months ago to try and resolve the conflict at 1am.

Who will rid me of this meddlesome...

... piano? It occurred to me yesterday as i nursed ANOTHER bruise on my arm.. that I have had a piano sat in my hallway for 2 months! It seemed like such a good idea at the time but apparently is not... its stuck there and everytime I walk down my hall I have to squeeze past the darn thing- often not successfully! A number of options lie before me: -chop the thing into several hundred pieces -find lots of people who want to move it.. to where I'm not sure -sell it -give it away -pray it away It goes next weekend.. even if it kills me... which it might.. hummm

Remembering What I Enjoy..

Occasionally I forget things. Some stuff like birthdays, names and stuff is a normal human thing, and I don't sweat it so much. But I also forget some other stuff which is not so good. I forget what I enjoy. I don't know how it happens but it does from time to time. And its at these moments that I need a bit of help remembering. So- this is a request for help. What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.

A Broadside: *plot spoiler* for Tory sympathisers

Today some alarming social equality data was released. It said what we all know: if you are poor, you have less opportunities in life. For every £100 a month less income than the median you start school one month behind developmentally. Your vocabulary aged 5 is half what it is for a rich kid if you are in the bottom ten percent of income. Housing tenure stats are even worse. "Only 4 per cent of those of working age living in social housing have degrees, and nearly half have no or only low qualifications. Only half of men and 42 per cent of women of working age living in social housing are in paid work, compared with 89 per cent of men and 81 per cent of women in households with a mortgage." Social housing: by its nature, is grouped (london people ignore this, you are the freaks not the norm). That means that we have allowed ghettoes of poverty and low attainment (not just in a SATS way either). Now it would be easy, and some daft Tory has already done it, to pin this on
