Dizzying clarity. How had I numbed my senses so much for the past four months? What mechanism of denial or adaptation or out-of-body-ness is at work here? Can one be fully functional when one does not quite register what exactly is going on and where and when until some time later?

I know. I will call it a lag of awareness. I have it.
