Adrift in a Sea of Me

Have you ever had one of those days where it felt like you were lost in an ocean of your own cares and concerns? Like you were being swept along in conflicting currents of thought and never quite able to navigate to solid ground? Trying to focus on work on a day like this is impossible. I find myself thinking of just about everything but my current task. I have Yule gifts to find and purchase, rapier techniques to ponder and practice, rapier melee strategy to consider for the upcoming War, financial matters to work out, people to do and things to talk to. Or something. And that's just a sample of the chaos that is currently engulfing the vast reaches of my mental landscape. Like Captain Jack Sparrow in the final Pirates movie, I am trapped in Limbo, kept company by a multitude of myselves, each with his own agenda and none willing to wait his turn to seek my full attention. Perhaps it's a symptom of the unsettled weather outside, but whatever the cause, it's most disconcerting. Later in the day, hopefully, I'll be able to find some sheltered cove of calm thought amidst the cognitive squall.
