Still feeling good

I woke up with a headache, but I think I'm just dehydrated. It'll be ok. 

Wow. Ouch. Ok, really dehydrated.

I also didn't have proper lunch or dinner yesterday... My fantastic friend Ashley and I just ate snacks up in our light/sound booth at the theater. Not healthy snacks, either :)

When I was a kid and I got sick, my mom gave me a bell sometimes so I could call her (because I couldn't call out with my voice). If I had a bell right now, I would ring for a cup of tea and a hot crepe or pancake, a bowl of yogurt with nice hearty granola, and maybe a mimosa. You know, for the fruit...

Suppose I'll get up and get some tea at least, and maybe an apple. I went to sleep under a pile of laundry that I've been trying to finish for three days (been too tired) and I think it's time to finally deal with that.

A couple years ago I had a bad fight with a friend, which turned my body inside out. I was so sick from stress, it was unbelievable. I ended up sobbing in the doctors reception in a Friday afternoon as they were trying to close up, begging to be helped (spoiler: I was totally fine in the end).  The next year, I got sick again, over the holidays, all due to holiday stress and some friend strain. My superhero friend Lauren gave me tools for dealing with some of the symptoms, and bottomless support. 

This year, here come the holidays again, the most emotionally and physically stressful time of the year, for many of us I am sure. I always feel angry too, because i want to have a happy time, to enjoy nice snow and warm drinks, to see people I love, to have a nice season and do activities and go places and have a good life... But it's so difficult! Why can't it be easy?! 

Anyway, here they are again this year. And I'm in TIP-TOP SHAPE. I can't tell you how amazing i feel physically, and how much more whole I've become emotionally. I'm not 100% in either area, but I feel so much more prepared to take on the next few months. How about you?!
