Yesterday was good and terrible at the same time.

The morning started off well enough. Woke up crazy early so I poked around at some things. Can’t really remember all that I did, but there was stuff… and things… I went back to sleep for a little bit then finally got up.

I ended up doing laundry finally. Whoo-hoo. I looked at my art class. Tons of stuff to do there. I finished watching all of the video assignments, and even watched the go to training session that I missed. It was pretty much a waste of 18 minutes, but at least I watched it so I know for sure it was a waste, rather than just hoping.

It was a lot of “Do this to be successful in the class.” “Yes you have to complete your homework.” “No there are not extensions on assignments.” Silly bs like that. Sometimes I wonder about the quality of humans produced today.

Anyway, after laundry and school I hung out with Sammi and Josh, which was fantastic. I’ve missed them so much, and it was great just getting to talk with them. We had intentions to do more, but Sammi wasn’t feeling up to it, and as the day progressed I got more and more of a headache. I’m not sure if it was feeding off of her pain, or if it was my own, but it started on the left side of my head and by the time I left it was creeping into the right side.

Sitting in rush hour traffic didn’t help, and by the time I got home I had a full on migraine. I curled in bed for about two hours, at least that’s what the clock said. It totally didn’t feel that long. It got to the point where I took Advil, Nyquil and drank water. I did yoga to see if stretching and blood flow would help, curled back into bed after sweating like crazy (which was weird because I did a super easy flow), and passed out until 2am. I wonder if I was legit sick with a fever. No real way to know now. But I felt terrible and seriously could not function past being still with something over my eyes.

I completely forgot to text Sammi to let her know I had gotten home, so when I woke up at two am, feeling fantastic I might add, I messaged her to let her know I was alive and what had happened.

I ate since I was crazy hungry, and drank more water. After that I went back to sleep until about 8 this morning.

I felt a little groggy when I woke up again, but no freight train hugging or migraine to speak of. Just the tiredness of oversleeping. I mean… I only slept like 12 hours or something close to that.

I remember I had a pretty weird dream, and I remember that I had a weird dream the night before. Since I normally do not remember dreams the ones that I do retain stick out for me. They tend to be pretty vivid, and I can feel them afterwards, like in my skin, as if they happened to me.

I heated up some breakfast and had coffee, even took my vitamin. While I ate I finished reading chapter one in my art book. I have nine chapters to read this week. We’ll see how I do.

I just finished up with some easy yoga again. My legs and back are so tight still. I’m wondering if all of the tension in my muscles and ligaments had something to do with the headache yesterday. It was super bad. I haven’t had a headache / migraine like that in ages. Glad that it’s gone.

I found another bed bug. Only one though. So I sprayed all of the walls and corners again. I think I’ll be ok as long as I stay on top of it. Kill the stragglers sort of thing. As long as it doesn’t get to the proportions like when I lived with Sir I think I can manage a bug or two every once in a while.

I still have to put my cloths away since I was crippled and gimp when I came home yesterday. I need to do some cooking, too.

Joshua has burger and fish in the freezer so I don’t have to worry too much about buying meat this week, which is good.

I found out that the extra $100 I have is in fact not extra. The $100 that I transferred to my savings account didn’t actually transfer, so that’s what the ‘extra’ money is from. Jarrett said he has money for me, so I should be getting that today. I will have to arrange for the power bill to be late. Hopefully since I’m always awesome about paying on time they won’t give me a late fee.

I’m going to tell Jarrett that the Internet is going to be turned off at the end of the month, since that’s what I told him a month and a half ago. Both power and Internet actually, but I don’t want to get an eviction notice on my rental history, so I’ll have to figure out something with the power. God I hope he closes the lease in February. I want away from him and his irresponsibility so bad.

I really don’t want to see him today, but I need the money, so I have to.

Sir is also supposed to be giving me $45 which will help with groceries next week. Right now I have $30 for two weeks. Since I don’t drive but maybe 4 miles each day I have gas covered I’m pretty sure, but still. That’s not a lot of money and I hate being that tight. I just need to take it one day at a time, and breath. I’ll be ok, and I’ll make it work.

Going back a little to yesterday, I got to play Munchkin with Sammi and Josh, which was a lot of fun. That’s when my headache really started to kick in, so the day ended shortly after that, but it was still really nice.

I got to give back the storage unit key, Sir’s book and shirt, and I gave the $20 I owed to Sammi for helping me move. So a lot of stuff got taken care of. I also got the dragon statue from Sir. I know it is silly, but it is the only gift that I have from him, and it means a lot that he let me take it with me. It is a reminder of the good.

As far as today goes, I have it broken up into chunks of “Read about art, do something, read more about art, do something, more reading of the art, do something so I don’t burn every piece of art is see, art of the reading, go insane,” or something similar to that.

I’m going to try to get through as much reading as possible so I don’t have it all on the weekend. I also have a post that is due tonight about a few of the Principles of Design. I’m actually sort of looking forward to that assignment, but I was going to save it for when I’m at work. If nothing else I should be able to knock it out during the second lab. Here’s to hoping. It’s going to be cutting it close, but I have until Sunday to post a reply, so as long as I get the initial post in there I should be ok.

Aside from that I don’t have a whole lot planned.

I did find out that SAL only has one lab, so no 9am for me after working until 1am. Huzzah. The universe does love me. So my schedule is pretty much the same as it was last month, just on reverse days. I think I’m ok with that.

I’ve already done a light workout today, so I am feeling good. Still need to do my detox drink, which might have also factored into yesterday (question mark), but it is on the agenda so I’ll get to it during one of my breaks in reading.

Guess I’ve procrastinated long enough on chapter two, of nine, sigh. Off I go to get it done.
