Absent-minded walk - 2014-08-31 - Entry 1361 - TOGoS's Journal
This morning after Shaina got up to 'go study' (actually she watched
OITNB for acouple hours) I fell back asleep and dreamt that we were at
work. Or rather she was at work and I was going for a walk around the
bay. About halfway around I realized that I hadn't actually alotted
myself enough time for a walk in order to get back by the time she got
out of work. I had planned it as if I were running the whole way. So
I started running. There were these big squished tubular
things--maybe something that the trees had dropped, or maybe
bugs--every few meters along the sidewalk. I remembered that Shaina
had seen these and mentioned them to me earlier. I was starting to
feel very confused, not remembering where I had started running or
where I was headed, and was regretting having eaten those cookies
earlier. I finally approached my building, but wasn't sure. I
realized that GHC wasn't where it would be and that I wasn't back at
work, after all. This place was entirely unfamiliar and I had no idea
where I was and I didn't have my phone with me. I thought it might be
a good idea to find someone nearby and ask them for directions back to
downtown and to borrow their phone to call Shaina (also realizing that
I didn't actually know her phone number) to tell her I'd be late.
