Ow why.
The first weekend of this month was Next Wekk Tekko, and the Monday following it was the first time in a week or more that I got more than three and a half hours of sleep in a given 24 hour period. Since then, I haven't been able to sit down and focus on anything for more than an hour without completely passing out, and I've fallen asleep at the laptop every single night, doing all manner of interesting things to my neck in the process. Saturday night I was just about driven insane by scans rendering my laptop nigh-unusable, fell asleep at the laptop again, had the single worst nightmare I can recall having in years, and woke up with a damned migraine. Spent most of Sunday taking Excedrin and mumbling incoherently, and decided, screw it, tonight we sleep normally one way or another. Took a hot shower and an allergy pill, which ordinarily puts me in a coma for ten hours, but instead I stayed awake for the first time all month, finally made myself sleep, and then woke up with a worse migraine. And this migraine, on top of the usual stabbed-in-the-neck sensation, runny nose, and nausea, came with the entirely new and so-very-unpleasant feeling that my eyes were being forcibly shoved out of my skull. And I have a mother with Grave's disease, a condition which actually forces a person's eyes out of their skull, so I spent the better part of the afternoon lying on the couch, pressing my ice pack against my eyes and thinking fuuuuuuuuuuuck my liiiiiiiiiiiiiiife.
Last night, though, while waiting, hoping for my allergy pill to kick in and knock me out, I watched a Soul Eater AMV on repeat and might actually attempt to watch some of it tonight (and form an impression deeper than "that girl has a comfortable-looking outfit for cosplay AND SENSIBLE SHOES! :'D"). Or maybe, if my eyes don't feel like bleeding from migraine-pain, I'll read a little more of Homestuck, because even floundering along and reading it a handful of pages at a time between fanfic chapters and narcoleptic accidental naps, I finally made it to the end of Act 1, and now I need to see what happens.
But right now, it's time for more ginger-peppermint tea.
