Christmas Zombie
Christmas is finally over. I’m slowly coming back to full consciousness.
At my real job Christmas time is a time of twelve hour days where you are required to work even harder during those long hours. There isn’t much time for anything thing like socializing or sleep.
Sometime after Thanksgiving I find that I go into a type of automatron mode, a dreamlike state. I think it is a survival instinct, like going into shock when you are injured to protect your mind from the horrors and pain of those injuries.
My brain parts seem to all be there but the pieces are scattered and I have trouble putting them into any semblance of order. I can eat and sleep and check my email but I can’t blog or work on my web site. My genealogy work goes right untouched for weeks.
Christmas is finally over and I am now coming out of it like a bear coming slowly out of hibernation. My wife hasn’t left me. My dog still recognizes me. My book is bookmarked where I left it.
It’s nice to have it finally over. I can do the things I like to do again and be the person I like to be. Today is my first effort at productivity where I am starting to see any sign of success. I have all my programs open. I have genealogy going again and I am moving files around from pc to pc and from pc to web. I am communicating online with my peers.
I love being conscious again.
