I had a really really bad day. It is the first time in a while where I've felt a lapse in my control and a stranger's distance from the person in the mirror, whoever's controlling my hands. Stress can really imbue a superficially controlled temperament, at least my sense of balance, and throw everything way off course. It's pretty scary, though it always gets to this point before break (the second half of next week). Things should hopefully recover by the next half of term.
