I’m having some indications that my stress level/emotionally stability is in flux.
1. Headaches. Not as bad as some of the migraines I get but regular tension whole head headaches, that my usual two ibuprofen dose chased with caffeine-laced Moutain Dew isn’t diminishing. I’ve had 3 days worth with minimal breaks in between.
2. Widget is getting on my nerves far too easily. It was actually going along very, very well in terms of my tolerance level with her twoishness. Not so much the last few days.
3. More vivid dreams. Recurring sequences in dreams where I’m signed up for classes that I forget to go to until the last day, then I remember the class and I have to take an exam on a subject, which I know nothing about or I forget the exam entirely, therefore failing the class. Or the other running theme is having my teeth disintegrate and fall out and there is nothing to do to stop it.
4. Increased mind-numbing activities like the internet: spending too much time looking at the same blogs, forums, news sites, e-mail inbox as if I might miss something drastically important if I don’t check this instant. My other new one is crossword puzzles. I bought these two books of them in the $1 section of Target earlier this summer and what I have discovered is that they essentially use the same clues over and over again with a few different ones thrown in for variety. So now that I have them figured out, I can sit and do several of them in a row. I even stay up late doing them instead of sleeping.
I’ve got until Wednesday before my appointment with #5.
