I can feel change. I can feel it moving inside. It reacts and then it looks for a way to manage. It usually has thoughts, these are the current,

“I don’t like that the kitchen table looks like an office. The last time I looked there are 3 monitors on it.”

“My bedroom is going to become like a bedsit for the next month or so.”

I awake this morning and it wants to see what it usually sees but it now has to accommodate, ‘this office’ on the kitchen table.

It is like a cat who has to share its space with a dog. I’ll get used to you but you need to give me time.

It knocks off my routine. The brain becomes unsettled as it is reconfiguring itself. That, in turn, affects the emotions that try to match the brain, unsettled brain means unsettled emotions.

I am distracted. Unsure what to do next. Restless and bored. Bored how can you be bored? I don’t know that is what happens when the brain is trying to reconfigure it gives me states that I am not in.

It is like that coffee machine story I wrote the other week, I ask for coffee and get tea with no milk. Maybe I should take the advice the computer gives me, “Please do not interrupt while updating”

Best day,
