Crazy for You...A Case Study.

I've been going to physiotherapy the past few weeks. Other than the time when I went probably reeking of booze from the previous night's work Christmas party in spite of my shower it's been going well. As I lie on the table, my head on the pillow, suction cups attached to my leg sending currents of electricity through it, I do what I do when I'm lying in a room. I count things. There is a kind of fake wood paneling on the wall to my right but because of the angle of the table I'm not really able to count the panels. The left wall is flat drywall with two picture hooks, no picture and discolouration on the wall where there once was a picture. The wall behind me, I can't see. The wall in front of me has two windows that are, to my eye anyhow, the same size. I haven't actually measured them, that would be full on crazy. However, the window on the left side has thirteen vertical blinds while the right side window has only twelve. As for the ceiling, it is made up of eight full false ceiling tiles in two columns of four each plus four partial false ceiling tiles, two at each end. Of the eight complete tiles, seven of them have the same texture while one has it's own. It is clear that this room is not part of the original construction but is that any kind of excuse for asymmetry? I thought not. Anyhow, I'm sure you can imagine how all of this distresses me as I lie there, trying to heal. Surely it can't help. Umm, you can imagine that, right? Hey, come back here!

I commend you on following your resolution on openness. I mean really... I suspected your OCD craziness for years, but here it is so clearly laid out for me in more detail than I ever knew or could have imagined. Job well done. Keep at it.
