String of Uneasy days

Day 5. Posting late.

The whole day was somewhat thrown for a loop when I woke up with what might only be described as a migraine around 6am... perhaps 24 hours ago. But I don't know if 3 tylenol and sleep are enough to make a true migraine go away. All I know is that I couldn't see or stand, and was constantly writhing and crying out in pain until the nausea overcame me, and the resulting adrenaline helped me calm down enough to drink some water and take some pills.

So... extra sleep happened after that. Not that I normally get up at 6, but I let myself sleep more than I would've otherwise.

Chilled in the afternoon, waiting for things to happen. Draco showed up, we shopped around, Reagan got off work, we ate In-N-Out, then stopped off at home because the movie wasn't starting for another 80 minutes. Internal angst was resolved there because I got to say hello to relatives who were over for my grandfather's birthday, and give the man of the hour birthday hugs, plus talk to my cousin some.

Dark Knight was fantastic. Perfect movie, all the way. Loved every minute, even the ones I was grossed out during.

Once Draco made it home we started one of those interesting conversations that never seems to be concluded to satisfaction before he has to go to sleep.

I did my yoga 12 hours late, and without any kind of prompting. No video, no audio, just me in a quiet room doing whatever asanas felt right, for as long as I wanted to. I want to do that more often.

Reagan went to bed about when I finished, but I wasn't ready to sleep. Even though this is the last night we'll spend together until Sunday, so maybe I should be snuggling with him, I think of it as quality time to experience his presence while I am conscious. Spent a couple hours drawing... mostly birds. I wrote a letter to Katie (to be delivered at SDCC) on one side of a half-sheet of paper, and drew this on the other side:


Scanned it. Wrote this.

Now to fold laundry and watch my husband sleep.

Day 5 wasn't as bad as expected. I hope days 6-10 follow suit.
