Me [having trouble focusing on work, decides it's anxiety about upcoming appointments that I'm having trouble tracking]

Me [reaches out to doctors offices to figure out if I can make them all, marks them on my work calendar.]

Me [having trouble focusing on work, wonders if wrong temperature]

Me [adjusts thermostat]

Me [still having trouble focusing on work, wonders if it might be uncertainty around packages]

Me [checks tracking on packages, none are on doorstep]

Me [having trouble focusing on work, wonder if I need food/drink]

Me [gets food/drink]

Me [having trouble focusing on work, wonder if I need a rest]

Me [reads in bed for twenty minutes then goes back to work]

Me [can't focus on work, decides it must be lack of hearing device]

Me [showers, gets dressed in not pyjamas, shaves undercut to make room for hearing device adhesion patch, cleans skin with alcohol swab for patch, installs patch, waits ten minutes, puts on hearing device]

Me [still can't focus on work]

Me [turns on music]

Me [dishwasher is on and music is on, still can't focus on work]

Me [decides that the music must be the wrong genre, realizes that I'm really just in the mood to listen to low frequency machining and jet engine noises]

[hearing aid will not produce jet engine sounds]

Me: it feels like I haven't gotten anything done all day, but why am I so tired?

Oh. That's why! 😛
