vestigial inertia

Sitting at dinner, knees slightly forward, I am almost startled when I slide my feet around and find them unencumbered by skis. It's like spending all day on an airplane or in the ocean and still feeling the sensation of waves at night. Does this happen with presidencies? Will I wake up every morning a year from now still experiencing the vague feeling that something incredibly stupid and counterproductive happened while I was asleep?
