I wear my sunglasses at night...
Oct. 16th, 2009 09:22 pmSo, when I switched back to contacts, I also invested in a pair of really high-quality polarized/uv-blocking/the-works sunglasses. I've had a migraine all day, and they've made a huge difference in my ability to keep functioning at work. In general I've been flaring pretty badly the past few days due to the weather changes (it's now high thirties and raining, and snow is predicted for tomorrow apparently). It hamstrung my ability to actually have the date I'd been hoping for with Serpentseye last night -- I came home and passed out almost immediately. Even as badly as I've been flaring, though, I haven't missed any work, and that's really clearly because of the switch to second shift, so I'm extraordinarily pleased about that. This is the first week in a couple of months where I haven't missed at least one day for health reasons. If I manage the same next week, I'll actually get a *gasp* full paycheck!
We (me, Bec, Grafton) got a lot done today, though. All bills are paid, all errands are run, all money is spent. It's going to be tight 'til next paycheck, but then everything should be back to normal and we'll have extra spending money for projects and fun stuff again. I'm really looking forward to making some more progress on the house, especially since it's getting colder now.
Also on the positive side, I finally seem to be coming out of my utter singlemindedness. For the past six months I've been focused pretty exclusively on househunting, housebuying, moving, setting up, etc, etc. It's totally killed my dating/sex life, my activism and social life, my hobbies; if it's not within the boundaries of my chain link fence, I just don't care. Finally, despite feeling like utter crap physically, my libido is starting to make a return, and my interest in people and activities outside my house is returning, too. I'm back to thinking about tattoo plans, and scheduling my next trip to ME. I'm pondering timing on getting to see K and T, and making a trip to MD. I want to open up our couchsurfing profile again and start having folks come through. There are books I'm interested in reading, puzzles I'd like to do, I've got more attention and focus for keeping up with political news. It's a gradual thing, but I'm ready to broaden my life back out again, and it's a nice feeling.
