A glitch in my brain
Image from Wired
On Monday the 26th the thing I feared the most came to pass. My brain developed a glitch so I could not understand anything. People were talking to me, but my vocabulary had vanished. When friends said “Hello” at the hospital, I could only reply like a cartoon pirate: “Arr.”
I remember regaining consciousness on the floor of the shower and thinking I was late for a 4:30 appointment. It must’ve been past 6 pm. I threw on a shirt dress, which I am later told was on backwards, and looked for a pair of shoes to wear. For some reason this was exhausting, so I left the house wearing flip-flops. Already I had a notion that something was wrong: I never leave the house in tsinelas.

P.S. You probably meant May 26th, Monday :) No problem, as you said, you’re “easing back to work.” Take it easy! Hugs. :)

Thanks for spotting the error, which was NOT in our copy and we’re the one who had brain fever!
Uh-oh. Temper: worse.

Your Grace, please take it slow, Your Grace. Baka “mabigla” po ang inyong katawan, Inyong Kamahalan.

wangbumaximus21: Thank you, we are taking it slow. For one thing we are driven everywhere because we’re not allowed to fight with taxi drivers just yet. We are not like the Red Viper who was too confident for his own good.
