Running down that road
I don't know if this summer is much worse and hotter (and often with a lot of humidity) for longer than usual or if my body just isn't dealing as well, but I have been feeling so awful, physically and emotionally, this summer. My appetite is bizarre, I feel somewhat faint and more headachy than usual, I'm depressed and irritable, I constantly feel gross and sweaty, and I can't write. (I want to write, but when I sit down to try the interference inside my head is too strong.) Chiari affects the body's ability to regulate temperature and damn, but I am noticing it this year. It's so hot that I'm a gross, sweaty mess about a moment after getting out of the shower, no matter how much of a cold blast of water I end it with. Due to financial issues, I don't run my air conditioner as often as my health demands I should.
It doesn't help that the newest roommate is being a real pain in the ass lately, loud and demanding a lot and being inconsiderate. It's worse for J right now because the roommate has had loud guests in her room, including a very loud child, late at night a few nights this week, and they share a wall at their end of the apartment. And she'll be having knee surgery soon and thus be home more, yay. There's been sewer replacement work ongoing in my neighborhood for a few weeks and counting so there are a lot of loud and annoying noises outside. Yesterday I gave myself a bad cut on my hand from uncooked macaroni.
There's been a lot of vectors of suckage of varying sizes lately, and with the state I'm in I'm having trouble handling it.

It's weird hearing Kate Bush's "Running Up that Hill" on the radio so often lately, partly because it's not the version I most love and heard prior to this Stranger Things revival of it. My favorite version of the song is Placebo's cover, which has such a mood and power to it for me. The words are more noticeable and impactful since I'm not hearing so much of Kate Bush's performance of singing. Listen to the opening of Placebo's version in a dark room and car and....

I'm not very excited for it, but I'm going to give AMC's Interview with the Vampire series a try in October and see if the changes are okay for me.
