Last Thursday, was my last day of school and it is going to be so nice to only work one job over the summer. Yesterday, instead of my usual ten-and-a-half-hour day, I only had to work a four-hour shift. I think that I noticed in the morning that my cognition was reduced. I was talking to someone online and I noticed that the sentence that I had just typed didn’t make sense to me. When I told them this, they said that everything made perfect sense to them. This just adds to my confusion. Things just didn’t seem right, but I continued to push through my day. I'm not really sure but I think that some fog might have rolled in. I also noticed at work that my brain seemed to be processing slower and I was making a few mistakes, but they were all fixable.
I have to admit that I thought today was going to be a better day, but now I've realized that I'm feeling a little lost. Yet I'm sitting in my own living room. It's so strange how that can happen. It is so good that I don't have to work today. I hope that tomorrow will be a better day.
I think that for most of my life, I've struggled with my comprehension. Perhaps that is why I work in special education. I've done well throughout my life, probably hiding it from people. Now there are times, when there is no hiding it, I just don't understand. Words seem to be my enemy and it makes me so incredibly sad!
