I'm having a 3AM Eternal moment. Not the song, but the insomnia. This is a bad sign for the week.

My body is revolting against me. I'm not sure if it is the sanding, the fumes, 5 am wakeup, the weather, a particularly bad swim or what. One giant ball of ache. Even my goddamn toes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My treatment this week didn't break the headache. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. It doesn't involve not working tomorrow, because tomorrow is the ridiculous presentation to the directors (I don't get to go to this meeting normally--I'm at least two levels too low on the org chart--but I'm presenting for forty five minutes? In this condition?)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh dear, ita. Can you go to the hospital today for anything?
My biggest problem is my tights being too short, which I think I'm going to fix right now with some scissors.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, no, ita! I wish I had an answer for you.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
ita, can you call your doctor and ask for advice? I'm sorry the treatment didn't help this week.

Oh, no. I'm so sorry, ita. Sounds like calling the pain doc is a good move.
I have so much to do at home, and enough going on with my folks, that I just lay awake for large stretches of the night, unable to sleep. And then of course I dropped off and had a horrible time getting up. Hate that so much.
I suspect it must be spring break here: my bus was pleasantly empty of the under-18 set. So nice and peaceful.

I don't get to actually speak to the neuro, but I should call the coordinating nurse. I should go do that now. Now that I'm in the office, that is.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Thanks for that, Jesse!
