Apr. 12th, 2014 10:35 amReminder to self: the Midol I take has caffeine in it that I strongly react to for some reason.
On the bright side, staying up until 3am was actually kinda fun last night. Took a hot bath, watched some TV, fell asleep after a good conversation with some one awesome. Despite cramps and fever and general "ugh"ness it was actually a decent, quiet evening. Exactly what I needed.
No idea about today. Fighting off cramps but at least the fever appears to be done with (I run a fever for the first day or two of shark week, no idea why but it's annoying)... I'll still take it easy today. I might get restless but if all goes well I might be able to go to Scarby tomorrow - the first time in YEARS I've gone without Will, so that should be interesting. I love Will but it's good to do things separately sometimes... he has clubbing and LARPing and lately I've had... kinda nothing.
So yeah. If uterus cooperates, Faire day! It's supposed to rain a bit, but fuck it, I like rainy Faire days. I just need to see if we have an umbrella somewhere and not wear my rope sandals (I swear I only remember I have those things when it's too wet to wear them) and I should be set.
I'll work a bit on the comic today so I have far less to do tomorrow night. Faire tends to wear me out a lot, even though I don't walk or anything. It's gonna be another long comic - no easy way to split the script or shorten it. Already have several pages of sketches, I just need to improve them and ink today. And somehow let myself have some time for SWTOR's double XP. And I need to remember to at least TRY to do some chores today if I can physically manage it. Nothing too exhausting - dishes and organizing the bathroom. Both seemingly simple things but if I'm feeling drained it becomes significantly harder (especially with incoming storms) so we'll see. Will mentioned the chores before leaving yesterday but insisted that if I can't do them to not worry or stress about it and that it was okay that I'm sometimes too limited. Having a patient, understanding partner goes a long way to easing my own self-guilt.
So yes. Drained, nauseous, exhausted, hurting, randomly weepy for seemingly no reason, loving the weekend anyway. I've said it before, but... I grow tired of my body controlling me. This includes my moods. There's not much I can do to cure hormonal swings but dammit I can try.
