Somnambulance

This was a lazy Sunday day.  I did not have much planned, some laundry, and, if the weather held, the Concert in the Park.   I slept in, fed the girls, made breakfast and did the various Sunday puzzles on the computer. Then, I started reading.  And read, and read.  At about 1 PM, I realized I had been reading for several hours.  But when I came up for air, I felt as if I been sleep waking.  Or sleep reading.  Any way, at 1 PM I felt very disconnected.  Sort of somnambulant http://www.merriam-webster.com/medical/somnambulism.  It was as if I had awoken from a nap.  And, when I do that, I am very often frightened and disoriented, because I do not know exactly what day it is. 

I checked the computer and made sure it was still Sunday. Isn't that weird. For me, it is frightening.  It took several hours to shake off the disreality of the feeling.
