You were perseverating in reverse ("half to wait until the second half of the year..."). Or maybe you were "pre-perseverating".
Pre-perseverating. Actually I type slower than I think, so sometimes the words that are to come later get slipped in earlier. It is the same as when I talk. You know that.
