Although many things about this weekend have been awesome, being on Day 7 of the migraine really isn't. I was originally going to call in, see about going in a bit late after waiting for another dose of meds to kick in, but it's gotten bad enough I'm home for the day, hiding in a cool dark room with my laptop screen turned down. Unfortunately, ( Read more... )

Since I haven't talked about this one in a while, I figured I'd post some of my profile info from different sites as an example of how I describe myself, how it differs by context, and how it's overall very strongly similar (this has a lot to do with a strong commitment not to compartmentalize my life - again, another post topic for someday ( Read more... )

Wow. Plenty I still can’t really discuss here, but it’s been item after item within days of each other, any one of which would be pretty ( Read more... )

Chad's off volunteering today, and I haven't gone back to sleep since he left, although I probably should so that I've got some energy for our day later. The house is totally empty except me and the critters, which is a rare occurrence, and I don't think I'll sleep again until after I write a bit ( Read more... )

Sometimes it's really odd to try to sort out the distinction between mixed state symptoms, and symptoms of plain old mania functioning rather counter-intuitively.
