You know the sound a machine makes when it is shutting down? Or maybe a factory? Watch the BBC North and South when they shut down the factory (cause all the workers go on strike...I haven't ruined the movie have I?) and that's the sound I am referring to...long way around the block - I was saying that to demonstrate how I feel my brain works at times. My brain is going full speed most days from the moment I get to work until about lunch time. That's when I go for a walk with Pam. After that, it's picking back up again. Some days though I hit 2, 3, or 4 p.m. and I hear that noise - the noise of a factory shutting down and I know that I am utterly useless for the rest of the day.
...I blame the go-go cranial power house of the first half of the day. Maybe my brain is like a battery, it's freshly charged first thing in the morning and then I just squeeze the juice* too quickly. Maybe if I evened it out through the 7.5 working hours...maybe not.
Anyway, it's one of those days when "the factory" has shut down for a strike.

I hear ya. Today I was going to town and then some news hit around 12:30 and I have struggled to get anything done since then. I couldn't even decide what to do during my lunch hour.
Ah, North and South. That brings back memories of my civil war class at BYU-I. Virgilia's character bugged us so bad, my table came up with the name, "Team Kill Virgilia". Anyway...

I'm okay if your brain shuts down. But if your heart makes the noise you described tonight when talking about the well, we have some big problems.
I know this feeling very well! It makes for some very rough days at work!
