Still tired and puffy
So I punked out on the linkspam last night because I've felt like hell all week, and last night it culminated in a screaming migraine. Trust me, I wish I'd been in spamming condition.
(I saw my doctor for a med check today, by the way. We're thinking that my current round of headaches are stress-related rather than antidepressant-related, since they're almost always accompanied by tension in my jaw... which I clench unconsciously when I work at the computer. You know, when I get into the zone. So I'm trying to consciously relax my jaw and get up more frequently--walk around the house, get a glass of water, check on the dogs, whatever.)
(I have some more therapeutic meeblings about irrational guilt and getting over it, but I think I'll inflict those on y'all at a later date.)
