AH HA!

Now that I think about it, maybe my bad afternoon and so-so evening happened because I missed my Embarcadero stop this morning. I was writing in my notebook. I was so absorbed that I didn't realize I past my stop until daylight filled the BART car and I saw cranes. After a second of confusion and shock, I realized (in my mind), "I'm in Oakland!!!" I was so bewildered at how I missed my station. I remembered the Civic Center stop but every other stop happened as if it didn't happen. I was just in West Oakland. It was like waking up and thinking, "What the hell was that?"

In spite of my heavy concentration, I got to work by 9:00am. Just hopped on the westbound train and back to the City I went.
