Calmer, now.
The girl in the next apartment is bawling her eyes out again. She does this pretty frequently--last night was my turn, today it's hers. I have a sneaking suspicion we cry about similar things but neither of us ever acknowledge hearing the other.
Anyway. Luke is fine, he was experiencing his first migraine and naturally it scared the hell out of him. Those things are pretty evil, I remember being shoved into MRI machines and unable to speak or see when I was a teenager because of those. It's easy to mistake some types of migraines for a stroke because the symptoms are so similar, my doctor did the same thing. So amongst my feelings of relief, I feel like an idiot for not recognizing it in him considering I used to have the same problem myself, years back.
Also, today when I was walking to the train station I watched a crazy bum harass a woman getting into her car, then he harassed me. I tried humoring him, then I tried to shut him down, and then he spit in my face. So I shoved him away by his backpack and he walked off. Bystander called the police, we waited around in the rain to file a report, and I might have to go to court and testify to get him committed--apparently this guy is a regular offender and he needs to get put into the hospital so he isn't doing shit like that all the time. So. Fun stuff.
I'm feeling calmer, but not quite 'right'. It's been a while since I had that soul-sucking black hole kind of night like I did last night, where I couldn't find a single point of light in anyplace in the universe. Hoping I don't get that low again anytime soon.
