How I Felt Today:

I used to complain all the time about "brain fog" but I haven't even thought about it in a long time. I just remembered today that it used to be a problem for me. I think I attribute most of the decrease of that to the exercise though, I really think I'm just getting better circulation these days.

30-minutes Reading/Speech Comments:

Self-Rated Fluency: 5-6

My self-rated fluency is on a scale of 1-10 (10 being fluent, 5 being my normal disfluency, 1 being my worst disfluency).

Reading is normal today. Still blocking on certain transitions. I'm trying to focus more on the content instead of how I am saying something, and I went lighter on hard consonants, although that just sounds like a differen kind of speech impediment I guess. :) I learned easy onset airflow technique years ago, and I could have sworn Ann Druyan (the late Carl Sagan's surviving wife) used it when she gave a scientific lecture at my school back in '95. Very breathy... like you're on a ventilator and have to come up for air every few seconds.

I'll be back tomorrow! Thanks for reading...
