Daily affirmation 13 September 2014
Sep. 14th, 2014 01:22 amOK, it's been a few days.
Wednesday I was feeling…well, not suicidal, but I felt an emptiness and a depth of despair I didn't think I'd survive at the time. Clearly I did, but that was by no means a given thing. We took a walk down to the beach and walked up to the Promenade.
Thursday…I don't really remember. I don't really remember Friday, either.
Today… Hm. I woke up around 6 needing to use the bathroom. I had a migraine halo which was nearing the end of its cycle. I was surprised, as I've never had this happen before and didn't know it was even possible. I'd always assumed halos were dependent on consciousness, but they apparently are not. I guess it makes sense; halos are a neurological phenomenon and it stands to reason they don't need to be observed to exist. tl;dr: I got up, took a sumatriptan and lay in bed for a while afterward trying to get back to sleep despite the nausea. (Spoiler: I did, and I felt fine when I woke up again, four hours later.)
I had a pretty big crash in the late afternoon, but I recovered pretty well. When Travis got home we ordered pizza for dinner and watched a few episodes of Better Off Ted, which is the greatest show in the history of show.
Heidi has been a major snugglebug today! She followed me around from room to room and every time I sat down she'd jump up and settle on my chest for loves and skritches. :) She is a serious doll, though I think she took a piece of paper from my desk and hid it somewhere. She also likes getting up here and taking q-tips to play with/eat. She's a little silly sometimes. :)
