The GCW Tour, Budapest: Last Day

Today is the last day in Budapest and, well, I basically wasted it. My accumulated health issues finally got the best of me so I spent the day in bed. No fun. As noted previously, this was an awfully long way to go to sleep.

The problem actually started last night when I stupidly took some headache pills laced with something to make you sleep. At the time in made sense -- lack of sleep was getting to me -- but in retrospect stupid, stupid, stupid.

Here's the problem: When you sleep, you brain turns short term memories into long term memories, but only if it's not busy trying to keep you alive. In my case, my blood sugar dropped overnight and the sleeping pills kept me from waking up, so my brain was focused on keeping me alive and as a result I woke up all weird and disoriented. It's hard to move through the day when you don't really recognize where you are or why there's a bunch of people in your space when you normally live alone. About all you can do is scarf down a bunch of food and go back to bed in the hopes that your brain can make sense of the world with a little more time. 

And by little more time I mean about six hours. 

Add to this the ramifications of all the cancer drugs and I'm something of a mess. It's going to be a long trip home, I'm afraid. 

We're up at 5:00 tomorrow morning to grab a cab for the airport, and arrival home isn't scheduled until sometime Sunday. I may post more if I get bored, but it's equally likely that I won't have anything to add until the end of the weekend.
