Temporary (I hope) dyslexia

This was very odd: I had to rebuild BAR 23:06 (a two-step, 5-10 minute process). I went through the whole process and belatedly realized I'd built 26:03 instead. So I built 23:06 for real—at least for the first step. Then I blithely finished the build with 26:03 again. Having belatedly realized that, I successfully built 23:06. Then, when I went to copy the files from the Output to the Resources folder, I decided to clean up the folder first, and get rid of those 26:03 files, so I wouldn't get confused anymore. Whereupon...you guessed it, I deleted half of the 23:06 files, along with half of the 26:03 files. At which point I just made sure to really, really, really copy 23:06 to the Resources folder and close everything else the hell down.



It's weird, and unsettling, because I've never had anything remotely resembling dyslexia, that I can recall; reading is perhaps my greatest skill. Admittedly I'm much worse with numbers than with letters, but I've never had this degree of difficulty. It's striking because it wasn't just once; it was three times, during the second two of which I was actively attempting to do it correctly. (And never mind how many times I typed the two numbers wrong while e-mailing J. and writing this.)



Well, hopefully it was a one-time thing. Or maybe it only relates to multiples of 3, or something. Anyway, it's one of the stranger things my brain has done since getting all the medication stabilized.
