Shift

Sometimes words fail me. I feel so odd when that happens because I like to communicate and think I am good at it.

Yesterday I IMed a friend and he was busy. I asked a question and he answered. Suddenly I felt blank and couldn't concentrate on chatting. I said I would check on him later and went offline.

There were no issues to deal with and no news to cover so a wait wouldn't hurt. Still it felt odd.

I went and read for almost an hour and then IMed him again. Everything felt normal and we had a nice long visit.

I am used to making conscious decisions on whether to chat or not.
