Wide-Open

Dear world,

I’ve managed to put my foot firmly in my mouth on a daily basis, consistently with one or another of the people I most care about, for the past several weeks (at least). I don’t mean to be thoughtless, or clueless, or tactless; I just don’t seem to be capable of holding two thoughts at once right now, and the thing I’m saying and its effect are two thoughts. Usually I figure out what I said that I shouldn’t have about a day after I’ve said it.

I’m sorry. I wish I could promise not to swallow my feet any further, but until I get my brain back that isn’t something I’ll be able to keep.

Sincerely,

Me

P.S. Anyone seeing my brain wandering around is kindly requested to tell it to come home.
