Migraines, again (excuse the rant)
I hate how complicated migraines make my life, how useless and weak they make me feel, how insufficient, and how lazy. It doesn't help that I know I have a chronic illness, because on a day-to-day basis it doesn't feel all that incapacitating (after all, I am used to feeling like this), so on a general daily basis I feel like I am lazy, rather than ( Read more... ) -

Balloon
The balloon rose in the air and flew away quite happily. It was one of those silver ones, and with the sun shining on it, it was as a star shining in broad daylight. Best Friend and I watched the balloon until it was too high to see.

I will need to update my profile too - it's a year and a half old or so. I'll get around to it, eventually. -
More on migraines
These migraines. Strange, how the word conveys so little of the meaning. You think of a headache, severe, with sensitivity to light. Someone hiding in a dark room, like my mother, while we walked through the house as softly as we could. On of the reasons I never thought I had migraines was because it never seemed that bad ( Read more... ) -
Backdating a few entries
I realise I have been ignoring Livejournal again for half a year or so. I use Facebook so much more. I will backdate a few entries, most of them friends only, that I have posted on Facebook and neglected to post here. You will have to go back to the 8th of August for the oldest ( Read more... )
