First off, I am so thankful that today was not the sinus-fueled pain-scape I lived in yesterday. If you've not experienced the torture that is a blinding, dizzying sinus headache or migraine, imagine a really bad hangover. Now imagine that throwing up doesn't help, and you get to have zero fun the night before to earn that pain. Awesome.
If you've never had a hangover (you lucky, virtuous person you), try to imagine what it would be like to have a mouse with a cheese grater living inside your forehead.
I stayed in bed until 2:30 PM yesterday, which was super late even with time change. I rallied around 3 and managed to get some chores done around the apartment, cook galumpki and take the dog on a short walk. Not a useless day by any measure, just not one where I could deal with loud, repetitive noises. Here's looking at you, typewriter.
I am happy to report that one day on the sidelines did not deplete my creative energies. Tonight I typed out three paragraphs plus about a half page of substantial dialog. This is all for the good.
I've also had a small measure of success on my other project, the one I had promised to elaborate on in the Sunday post: I am on a mission to trim my weight down. How bad is it? Let's put it this way. I see many, many people every day who are worse off than I am, but I am not okay with the current shape of me. This isn't just a vanity project.
And so in the interest of bodily improvement I've joined My Fitness Pal. Although its not all sunshine and rainbows, I can't deny that the program has helped me keep better track of what (and how much) I shovel into my maw. I'm down three pounds after the first week. If I can keep this up for a month or so, it'll be time to buy some new clothes :-D
