The players: Cognitive Brain – henceforth known as ‘CB’, and Intuitive Brain, aka ‘IB’
IB: “I want a cup of tea. We’ll feel better with a cuppa tea.”
CB: “Yep, OK, um, how do we do that?”
IB: “Do what?”
CB: “The tea thing.”
IB: (already moving on to laying down and staying as still as possible) “Tea? Are you making tea? Great idea. We’ll feel better with a cuppa tea.”
CB: (being careful to not move too fast, slowly looks around the kitchen where it has spent many happy hours over the last eight years and usually knows where everything is and is fairly certain it’s made thousands of cups of tea) “Yeah, but how do we do that?”
IB: (sighing pointedly from the chaise lounge where it has swooningly retired) “Never mind. Just a glass of water.”
CB: (still standing, rather wobbly, in the center of the kitchen, trying to recreate the steps required to get a glass of water, stumbles upon the most vital question of all) “Where are the glasses?”

As I was writing this one of my favourite pieces of classical music happened to be playing in the background. I can only tolerate low-key (pun unintended) orchestral pieces in this state … enjoy.

Love the music! Sad and touching. Video is great too. My CB and my IB often seem to be at odds. I swear they are sabotaging each other. And my CRB (Crazy Brain). Does not help!

And then they start having conversations between themselves and leave us out of the picture entirely! 🙂

I’m glad I’m not the only person who holds entire conversations in her head between two sides of herself. It is NOT weird to do so!

Not everybody writes. In fact, we’re a tiny minority. I often wonder how non-writers cope with all that’s going on inside their heads. Do they learn to ignore it?

I can’t imagine the pain of this, and hope the music helps. When I have a headache I couldn’t listen to anything, and it is not half as debilitating as yours.

At the height of them, if I sit very still, and I do mean still, for at least three hours, then I’m marginally functional for the rest of the ‘turn … and the music, so long as it’s mellow, allows me to float through those hours a little easier.
I’m better now … well, at the ‘fragile but not having my skull cracked open anymore’ stage. 🙂

I’m at the ‘fragile and don’t stand up too suddenly’ stage, 🙂 so fingers crossed the buggers stay away for a while.

Yep, all better now. 🙂 … they are bastards, but I have their measure – most of the time. 🙂
Re, the video – were you around when those graphics were the go-to screen-savers were used to actually stop those early computer monitors from burning out? I loved ’em. 😀

I blush to say I always disabled screensavers. Not sure why. I suspect I’m just a control freak. 🙂
