An autopilot kinda day

Somewhere between being busy and extremely sleep deprived, there’s autopilot.

That’s where I was today. The day was a blur. I got the things done but I don’t remember doing them. Like when you’re driving and not paying attention, yet you are paying attention and then arrive and don’t know how you got there.

Little baby RR had an appointment with the pediatrician, he’s gained a tiny bit of weight so that’s good news and then we went to a hearing test that took ninety minutes! It involved little electrodes on his head and he had to be asleep for it.

Cordelia is taking the night shift with him tonight so hopefully I will get a good night’s rest.

Other good things: the sun is rising closer to 8:30 am now, yay! And not setting til nearly 5:00 pm, yay! January has been brutally cold so all I’d like to say to it as it leaves this weekend is don’t let the door hit you on the way out!

Don’t know what I would do without my root cover-upper, aka the beret

  8. Love your pic 📸, very cute…some times autopilot is NOT just for airplanes Corpus Callusum do your thing…The corpus callosum is not the same as autopilot, but it plays a critical role in enabling the brain to function efficiently during routine tasks that may feel like autopilot. THIS ARTICLE IS QUITE FASCINATING IF INTERESTED:Your brain normally works like a team where everyone talks to each other. But sometimes, when you’re doing two completely unrelated things at once—like driving on an easy road while listening to a podcast—your brain can temporarily split into two separate teams that work independently, almost like having two mini-brains working side-by-side [Functional split brain in a driving/listening paradigm
