Losing her mind?

Excerpt # 28 - two more days to go and then I will find some beta readers.

She looked in the fridge and started a real, honest to goodness grocery list.  As she went to pin it to the fridge, she noticed a grocery list already started and pinned by one of her earth magnets.
 She didn’t remember making that list. 

She was losing her mind.  Fact.

Never-the-less, she added ingredients to the list to make some dishes that would take time to prepare and time to cook. 

Then she would make time to sit down and really enjoy them.

She picked up the laundry basket and headed downstairs to start a load.  Why was the basket so heavy?  Surely it hadn’t been that long since she last washed her things. 

And why wasn’t the cat yowling for food?  She quickly padded back upstairs, and sure enough himself was sound asleep and there was food in his dish.  Food she didn’t remember putting there. 

Weird.

When she went to do the dishes it seemed there were more to do than there should be.

Now she was freaking out.

She needed to go do something to gain her equilibrium.  She grabbed her swimming bag.  At least that was where it should be and contained what she had put in there.


Normally she would go to the pool and run drills, but today she walked to the deep end, and dove straight in, swimming underwater for as long as her lungs would let her until she surfaced and started stroking.
