Gah

Posted at 8:50 pm MDT to Miscellaneous

I felt pretty good yesterday.

Today, on the other hand, sucked, and I don't really understand why. It was like my brain turned off for a while and I couldn't think or focus clearly, just feel miserable and confused and frantic. I can't be objective enough at this point to say whether it was my customer being opaque and vague in their instructions that set it off, or whether even straightforward tasks would have been overwhelming.

It's like I'm running on fumes, with no reserve capacity.

I don't know whether it wore off on its own, or my vitamins and the extra dose of St. John's Wort I took at lunch time cut in. (Today I took the herbs at all three meals, which is the recommended dosage.)

I managed to make a some progress even when I was glitching, but not nearly as much as I would usually expect.

I just remembered that I've heard 'brain-fog' described as a symptom of thyroid levels going wonky. I should probably call my doctor tomorrow and make an appointment to get tested. Maybe the viral crud messed up my thyroid balance so the current dosage of my meds it wrong.

Fortunately, financial companies take Good Friday off because the stock market is closed, so I have a holiday tomorrow.
