It's really interesting to be this tired. Running on the fumes of a few hours restless sleep, in combo with a sleep debt not fully repaid from last week... topped off with a severe case of academic ADD (AADD??), and I'm at the point where I can hear people talking, and I know they're talking to me, but for the life of me I can't string their words together with their appropriate connotations in my brain. Even writing... by the time I finish a sentence, I've all but forgotten where I started, grateful for the habits and instinct that seem to keep me reasonably coherent.
And don't get me started on reading. Rereading that essay through for the last time was painful. Word by slogging word I was able to guide my brain through the maze of historical facts. I felt like I was guiding a little kid through an I Can Read book. "And... then... to.. stay... safe... from... the... evil... Communists... ... the U.S.... kept... throwing... money... at... France."
