this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I woke up at 5 with an evil stabby sinus migraine, possibly exacerbated by eating gluten last night. We have to get the journal to the printer today, so I drugged up, slept until 11, and came in.

I was greeted by a tray of baklava, including some amazing pistachio baklava, so that made things a little better. But I still need a hole drilled in my skull to let the demons out.

And ditto what Erin said about Prozac & co taking time to work - it's not uncommon at all to feel worse for the first few weeks. Unfortunately, the progression often goes: no energy to feel anything--->just enough energy to feel terrible--->finally feeling better. So hang in there! We're all here for you.

THIS. Sean, it probably doesn't help one iota to know that someone is being devoured by the same thing you are, but I had to see my doctor this week to switch ADs, since the one I'm taking isn't helping at all. I have constant low-to-moderate anxiety all day EVERY day, as well as total not-giving-a-shit and also unfuckingbelievable exhaustion. Like, on my days off, I've been sleeping 12-14 hours, not on purpose.

And I know that, in switching ADs, I won't notice any benefit for at least 3 weeks, possibly more. And it's like being in a pit with a wolverine at the top (not Wolverine).

Oh, yeah. It's also inappropriately hot here, so I have migraine, under-medicated depression, and ACK HOT SWEATY.

But! There is baklava, and it is VERY good baklava. For now, that's what I'm focusing on.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I was going to eat my lunch outside today, but it was too hot even in the shade next to a fountain. And later we're supposed to get thunderstorms with hail! Woo hoo summer!

This is weird to me--it is raining here, and only supposed to be 57 today. I'm hoping it gets nicer soon, because all sorts of people are coming in this weekend for the show I'm in! From all over!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Sigh. Got a phone call from the principal. Emeline was kissing on the playground again. Her and a little boy playing "Sleeping Beauty". Sigh.

Heh, seems I'm not missing much. It's been in the 90s pretty much since we got here and I have to say, I'm getting used to it.

Just gotta accept that you're gonna sweat, try to take it easy, and walk in the shade.

I think I'm gonna make a reservation for this beer dinner. It's all local beers PLUS the dinner is hosted by Donald Link who has 2 awesome restaurants here that I LOVE: Cochon and Herbsaint.

Man, I had a yoga class this morning that kicked my ass!
