Do you ever catch yourself watching yourself instead of actually doing the thing?
I've been rereading the same passages at night, not because I'm savoring them but like I'm checking whether I'm still capable of paying attention. Half the time I'm observing myself read rather than reading. Anyone else feel like their focus has become rented out, and you're not sure who's actually doing the living?

Used to be the hands knew before I did — in the OR you couldn't afford to watch yourself, you just moved. Now I catch myself hovering over the page like a visitor in my own skull. The living gets done somewhere behind you, doesn't it?
