Okay, I feel largely better - I'm glad that this headcold hasn't pestered me as long as it did Tim, but here's a few weird things that haven't righted themselves yet:
1. Textures feel more texturey than they usually do. I can feel the chenille that I'm wearing, in a way that I don't usually notice my clothes. The same was true of my sheets when I was waking up this morning. It's like my perception of touch is magnified.
2. My head still feels swimmy, like the synapses aren't connecting in the useful way that they usually do. Like I killed off a noticeable amount of brain cells by over-self-medicating and they haven't been able to keep up in the regrowth department.
3. I feel giggly. All the time. Like I want to laugh out loud at things. Hopefully I won't laugh out loud at any students should they come by.
I think part of it is just that I really love Fall, and every time Fall or Spring hits, my sensory perception elevates for a bit before it settles in to the new season. I think the rest of it is my brain trying to decloud itself after being so congested. In any case, it's a lot of fun - had I ever taken any sort of drugs, I may be able to relate it to such an experience, but alas, I haven't, so I just have to be entertained at how different it feels than everyday life.
