I woke before the alarm, but I didn’t get up until it rang. I did get a mile walk done in the morning. It’s been smelling like a wet cigar outside lately. I’m not sure why. There was some fog to walk through, but I couldn’t really tell how foggy it was until later in the morning when it got light out.
A headache began stalking me in the morning, but it didn’t feel like a typical migraine. The pain was more right-sided, when my migraines are normally left-sided. I figured I could power through work and not have to take any of my meager supply of sick time. I know I could use vacation time if I run out of sick leave, but I’m trying to save vacation time for the summer. I have backpacking plans.
I really wish that I had taken the time off work though. Throughout the day, the headache continued to get worse and eventually settled into my left side with extreme light sensitivity. I’m trying to write this as quick as I can because the monitor glare is intense right now.
I’ve actually had the TV off all evening. I’ve been listening to audiobooks instead of reading, which is pretty much a dire state. I’m going to try and sleep with some pain killers and a sleep aid, and if the headache is still here in the morning I’ll take the migraine meds. I guess it’s a good thing I didn’t have choir practice tonight because I certainly wouldn’t be up for going anywhere or doing anything tonight.
i was thinking about what Ambrose would be doing for me if he were here. He’d be taking care of me. I’d probably already be in bed. The only bummer part is that he’d probably be listening to electronic music loud enough make my head throb with the beat. Though he’d have medicated me sufficiently that I would stop caring and just sleep.
i breathed in the dark for my exercises. I’m going to skip the jumping today. In my shower this morning, I broke out in a scaly rash on my chest. That reminded me of Ambrose. He used to break out in a rash on his chest whenever he ate bread with certain preservatives in it. I don’t think this is the same. I’m not sure what this is. My therapist thought it might be from my hot showers when it was happening in the spring. I guess it could also be a sign of stress.
