So today was a pretty good day overall. Went to the doctor and confirmed that I seem to have shingles. He gave me an antiviral, though it's too soon to tell if it's working. What has been a life saver has been the calamine lotion, which reduces the pain to the level of a moderate sun burn and has finally allowed me to get some good quality sleep. After I got back from the doctor I spent the better part of the day sleeping on and off with some internet and computer games in there. I even went for a run around sunset (first time I've run in months). Later in the evening I went out with my work buddy Jon to Applebees before we went to see the new Terminator movie. It wasn't as good as I'd hoped, but it was solid with a few particularly good moments (one stands out above the others, you'll understand if you see the movie).
In the process of dosing my day away, I missed several calls from people (doh!). I managed to return most of them before I left for the movie (if yours was not among them I apologize) and I had a nice time talking to people. I felt a lot better than I did when I wrote last night's post. I also saw the nice comments people left on LJ and thank you to everybody who posted. All told today was a much better yesterday and I only had one episode where I briefly got upset. Things will take time, but I don't feel nearly as alone as I was feeling yesterday.
Tomorrow I work a double so I probably won't have much time to get together with people before graduation unless it's later tomorrow night. I'm off all weekend though. That said, I'm going to start getting ready for bed.
