One Horrendous Night
I had the most horrendous night last night. My period finally set through and I have laid awake almost the entire night with semi-murderous cramps. I've been in and out of bed several times, roled around from back to stomach, to side, to stomach, to back, have held a hotwater bottle on my stomach and against my lower back as the pains happily ran through the back as well. Luckily these cramps only occir for several hours a month just before the show starts and then I have a day of feeling tired, with a feeling of a bloated stomach and nagging almost ongoing lighter cramps which make me feel I have to go to the toilet about every single hour. Though since the most intense cramps happened during the night, I now have the splendid added feeling during the day of having been hit by a truck. Yes, happy womanhood. Not.
And since I 'celebrated' my for the coming time 'not going to drink alcohol when alone at home' with a few small glasses of pink champagne to wave it all goodbye for now, I also couldn't take an Ibuprofen as I don't like mixing alcohol with pain killers. So yes, my night was simply horrendous and now my day is the same, simply because I haven't slept a wink and lay curled up with pain all night.
So I have no idea whether my new orthopedic pillow (made of memory foam) is working or not. I easily suffer from back pains and the last few days I have been having pain in neck as well, so since my old pillows just didn't give any support anymore I bought myself an orthopedic one. 59 freaking Euros. I can't afford it really. But since the depression is also depriving me of sleep at times I figured I'd best get something good to lay my head on for the hours that I can sleep.
And yes, I have been spending more money that I don't really have as I have finally found a movie I had been looking for ever since I was a kid and had seen it once on tv. I had no idea what it was called as the video back then had a translated to Dutch title and I have searched and searched and searched, simply because I felt I had to see it again. The atmosphere in it was amazing, or at least, as far as I can remember, because I was a kid after all. Imagine my surprise when I saw it in the music store between the Manga movies! It's called The Castle Of Cagliostro and you can see what it's about here;

It's a Manga movie by Hayao Miyazaki, who also made the more recent Howl's Moving Castle, another movie I absolutely love. Try to find and see both of them if you can.
That's it for now, my Ibyprofen has finally started to work and now I am only feeling exhausted, but my belly seems more at ease. Finally. It's time for tea and hanging on the couch for a bit now. I am a woman, I am having my period, so I am fully entitled to do absolutely nothing today and wallow in feeling tired and crappy. See you later. Or something.
