I ended up dropping the rest of Saturday and Sunday. The first two years of my life would absolutely have been a disorienting experience cubed. So that was a big deal figuring that out. I’ve noticed that when I get lost going someplace I haven’t been before but I have an actually noticed it when I’m not driving I’m looking for a particular location. I mean a few words came to me because this all happened over the course of a couple of hours.ĭisorientation came to me. I couldn’t figure out how I felt if I tried. Man oh man Saturday was just a shit show. I’m more familiar with this shimmerz so I’ve been coasting along fairly well the past month or so. My whole inner thought patterns have changed.
