You know when you want to see how other people perceive you by being in the position the other person is in while watching yourself through them? Today has been one of those days. Not that I really want to see myself and my life to begin with, but I think it would answer some questions as to how I really do give myself off towards others when making any type of contact. :/

Every so often, I get the urge to ask somebody to help me out with that kind of thing, because I spend so much time as, you know, ME, that I'm not really sure how I'm coming across to people around me.

But I almost always chicken out, because while I want to know, I kinda really don't want to know.

Anyway, all that to say...yeah, I get that.

Ok, I fully understand this isn't medicine but drink water to make sure you're hydrated and stay away from trigger items such as caffeine, for example. Take some over the counter item for headaches (whichever is best for your individual profile but try the Exedrine Migraine blend if you haven't already). Add a little calcium and a soft magnesium in a low dose like Thompson Magnesium 100mg. Finally, some people benefit from relaxing teas and candles. I know it sounds silly but sometimes external aids to reduce help benefit some people.

I have chronic migraines. They last hours to days for various reasons. My doctor prescribes Imitrex, and my insurance company will only dispense nine at a time. I didn't think anything of it until today when I found out it's not nine a week, it's nine a MONTH. I have a migraine five to seven times a week, and I'm out of meds. My insurance company can be petitioned, but in the meantime, I've got nothing.




I'm super excited.

speaking of seeing yourself in anothers' "eyes":

actually, what really unnerves me is when my beloved aunt, whom i seldom talk to or get to spend time with because she lives in another state, shares things with me, that she thinks i am interested in--probably because they fall under many of the topical headings of things i enjoy learning about.

for example, she knows that i am big into holistic health, relationship health, awareness, and generally speaking, personal growth. so she attempts to relates to me by sharing stuff that i will simply characterize as, "how to understand women and their thought process/growth/female relationship info".

okay, so the funny part is my aunt is a lesbian. and i couldn't really care less about further understanding other women, honestly. in fact, reading some of this stuff makes me feel oddly uncomfortable.

but overall, my impressions from reading some of this stuff:

wow, so being with women: exhausting!

good gravy! do i sound like this? ohmygosh, i bet i sound like this. oh noes!!!

i don't understand how anyone survives this. like, i'm so tired and bored. especially bored and tired.

thank heavens men aren't like this. men are so perfectly simple in comparison, and so not like this. thank heavens i'm not a guy (nor a lesbian). whew. whelp. crisis averted. i need a nap.

umm....

...I'm happy you're not a lesbian either.



















There's really no appropriate way to respond to that post. I mean, I suppose I didn't have to respond at all, but that's no fun, really...

So I actually ended up meeting with the pastor's wife tonight. Ate dinner there, talked, and it was nice to get things off my chest. :) Still not sure whether I'll get some sleep tonight, but we'll see. I should try, because honestly I probably won't sleep when I'm with my grandma. I slept terrible when I would stay overnight with my mom, and I'd even have a recently comfy place to sleep.

Changed a light bulb today. By myself. It wasn't nearly as hard as everyone thinks. I don't see what all the fuss is about.

So I woke up a few hours ago after having a few hours of sleep. Took a shower since I didn't before going to sleep and stayed up since. Wish I could've just went back to bed and had a few more hours, but at this point there's no sense on doing so since I have to leave in a few hours anyway. :/

There's been other things that have been on my mind lately as well. The lack of sleep that could also be part of anxiety as well as caffeine rush (which triggers my anxiety anyway, but lately I've been consuming a lot of coffee anyway) is to blame. I don't take care of myself as I should and then I wonder why if anything drastic could happen. Actually, I'm a bit surprised nothing has just yet.

Well, I'll shut up now.

-sees that I've used 'anyway' a lot in this post... well, anyway, is now heading off-

Grace: Can you change mine too?
I am too short. The main problem though is that I am too forgetful to buy one :D

As a matter of fact, it does but it's a chemical switch turned on and off by melatonin which controls the daily night-day sleep cycle.

I don't recommend taking melatonin because of the side effects but a little Thompson 100mg magnesium, sleepy time tea, and even a Benadryl are perfectly fine and go a long way toward a good night's sleep in my experience :).

Actually your brain has a physical off switch too. It can be accessed by a blunt instrument. The downside is a really bad headache in the morning. Plus, the nice men in the cars with the flashing lights on top get all excited and upset if you activate the off switch on someone.

Quote for the day:
WIFE: "If a politician ever tries to measure the price of freedom in units of my children's blood..."
HUSBAND: "I'll hide your pistol collection."
WIFE: "Yes, that would probably be a good idea."

“Do not be deceived, Wormwood. Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy's will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys.”
