Streaming Consciousness

Going to try a little experiment here. [I'm] in the middle of a ride and I'm going to try speaking [a] blog post into my phone.

So, I'm sitting on the edge of what I believe is Round Pond, but I'm not certain of that, near Gordon College. And about half of my vision is taken up by the lake. [It is] making strange little almost figure eights of light and waves on most of the surface, but to the right of me for some reason it's smooth. The trees are about half changed. It seems to be that the yellow ones are the ones that are changing so far and I see two really tall Pine trees straight in front of me. It's almost the middle of October, but for some strange reason it is hot today and humid. Also, I noticed there's a birch tree right in front of me with some beautiful little twigs hanging off of it, and all of its leaves are gone. I'm out here, among other reasons, because my mom is in the hospital. She went in just a little bit dizzy and now she says her vision is completely swirling around when she opens up her eyes, so I don't know what's going on. They seem to have ruled out a stroke. They flew her down in a helicopter. So I'm out for a bike ride because there's not a whole lot I can do. I found myself just thinking about what could be wrong not trusting the doctors, and I realize there's no point in that at all, because even if I somehow miraculously figured it out I wouldn't have any way of telling them. So I decided to take a ride and stop thinking about it, which is exactly what I'm not doing,so maybe I should get riding again. I've just come through a tunnel of leaves: I can still see it behind me, kind of a ledge trail right next to the lake almost on the edge of the lake in fact. Almost? It is! Just saw two dogs out walking and now I'm sitting on a railroad tie next to the Lake.

Now I'm sitting back in the car and I'm trying to decide if I have a concussion because I went over the handlebars on a really steep downhill that I really should've walked! I think I'm alright, but I figured I'd put this down on virtual paper. I'm hoping I might get a scar out of the cut on my knee though. Remember to wear your helmets, kids! don't walk down walk down things you can't ride down.


 [Maybe I was confused- I meant the opposite (this was almost a week ago. No concussion, and believe me, I looked up the symptoms thoroughly)]
