It is a thing.

I'm sorry, it's been too hot, too dull, and too tiresome to write anything here of late. I'm still alive, though. We've scavenged enough to pay bills and such. I've just had a bad case of tunnel-lock, where I focus very hard on the next moment, or the next hour... and then the next day... and then do it again... Staring very rigidly ahead without looking around. No thought, no analysis, just plow on through.
