2007 or 1997

I need to quit losing sleep, which means I need to get to bed at a decent hour.

I was telling someone yesterday about something President Bush did in 2007. But when I woke up today I was thinking I told them 1997, which wouldn't make any sense. I'm still not sure I didn't say 1997, but surely I didn't.

When I woke up today, and even when I was sitting in my chair, I was confused about 2007 and 1997, as in their relation to the present year. It took some real mental working it through to get myself square again.

It's not that I'm dumb. I just haven't had the full eight hours for a while. So my mind is playing tricks on me.

I need to wrap it up for tonight ... get the dog outside for her thing ... and get to bed!
