	Yankee  +  948543 Wed, 21 Oct 09 12:08 AM It's a bit hard so say without the broader context. The intonation does not strike me as a question, if that's what you mean. However it does suggest that he seems to think there is more to be said about the fact that he hasn't had a clear thought since yesterday. Perhaps he's trying to think what might have caused the problem and/or what he should do about it. Perhaps you might also say that the intonation he uses in that sentence is a bit suggestive of a mix of "worry and wonder" about the uncomfortable and unfamiliar state he now finds himself in. That's my two cents. Yankee Intonations, Sentences, Context
