a black hole

My sense of direction is abysmal, no, non-existent  I have a black hole in my brain where directions are concerned.  There is no up down or sideways,  no back and forth, no front and back​, no where, no how. Yesterday it took me over three and a half hours to get to where I wanted to go, a distance requiring less than an hour to drive.  I drove three sides of a square to get to my destination. On the other hand, I made very good time.

Spin along with me

I'm so wide awake at 3 in the morning and so clear-headed, you'd think I could solve the problems of the world.  Instead, this morning, I started fussing about my robe, the one I received when I was awarded an honorary doctorate.  I was measured for it wearing the last (as it turned out) pair of high heels I owned., and it was a litle long when I wore it officially but I have since turfed the shoes and shrunk a little so it is definitely too long now.  So there I was at 3 a.m., wondering, if I should ever need to wear it again, whether I should buy new shoes or have it shortened.  Oh dear.This is not productive.
