I can't believe how frazzled I am.

Oh, shit, I forgot that someone smashed into our car a few hours ago. I forgot to tell anybody.

I went to a school concert yesterday. Some of my students played. I was so scared. I was more scared than them. My hands shook.

My brain feels sprained right now. I have something that could turn into whooping cough if I feel like it. I need a long, long rest. Perhaps in a nursing home.
