I haven't said anything because I don't want to jinx it, but I've recently taken up running. I haven't exercised in any way after I moved away from my beloved yoga studio in Bergen two years ago, and even though I've been gaining weight non-stop since then it's been hard to find any motivation. And running? All through school I absolutely hated it ( Read more... )

Guess what's back? My old friend insomnia ( Read more... )

As if I'm not emotionally vulnerable enough these days (SUCH a crybucket), I've developed not only one, but two cold sores on my upper lip. A personal record. And in spite of what the ads tell you, those clear cold sore plasters, while pretty effective, don't stay on when you eat or drink. Which means I'm trying out this new style of drinking which ( Read more... )

I think we're looking at a fever situation here. I have a hard time deciding whether I'm cold or burning up ( Read more... )

I've done all my little "unwind when you can't sleep" routines; I've played Tetris, I've sketched, I've made Lupin GIFs... Actually I really feel like playing more Assassin's Creed, but I know that'd only make me forget to go to sleep at all ( Read more... )

"Nope."

"Well shit."

- Though of course these are my teeth, which means every dentist appointment is another fight against the ongoing decay. i.e., I had one cavity in a molar, as well as WAY too much calculus/tartar (I love how both words in English ( Read more... )

There's that point in the night, you know, when you're suffering from a migraine and you keep telling yourself "Just sleep, sleep is the best remedy for migraines" and then "But I can't sleep, the migraine's keeping me awake". So you try to think of random things to just calm down, but even thinking too hard means pain, so you keep jumping from ( Read more... )

Have a cold. Going through another insomnia phase. Drawing up a storm (smudged charcoal everywhere, will hopefully get my big self-indulgent fanarty project done in a month's time or so ( Read more... )

Having another period with insomnia, I can only seem to manage a couple hours of sleep every night. Constant headache and nausea not good, but at least two hours of sleep per day is better than none. Anyway I don't need a lot of energy to play video games and draw anyway, which is what I'm doing these days ( Read more... )
