Welcome to really lovely to be here.

As many of you know, I've been away for almost a month doing some writing, a writing project.

I'm trying to put together a book proposal.

And I wanted to share with you what happened quite a bit at the home stretch of that process.

Everything was pretty much flowing and fine.

And then right towards the end I got a bit of a sinus infection.

And I had one full day left to get out a final batch of stuff to my editor.

And I started getting tight around that, just anticipating I was going to get back into the fray

and not have time to put the pieces together and so on.

So I decided I really had to get my act together for that last day.

And I did something I rarely do, which is I kind of intervened and took some cold medicine

to work on the congestion and so that I'd be just a little more with it.

So I took it and I started in.

I got it to the computer and I was really ready to all guns ablaze.

And in about 45 minutes I felt like I had been hit over the head with a sledgehammer.

It's like my brain was pure fuzz.

I was just completely in a trance.

And I realized I had taken by mistake the nighttime cold medicine.

I took the green pill, not the red pill.
