::sigh::

Feeling melancholy yesterday & today, which frequently happens when I get extended migraines. Medication may be affecting me as well, though it's not easy to tell. Migraine days are not good days for trying to determine causes behind effects, for trying to rationally evaluate how disproportionate my emotions are--or for trying to rationally evaluate anything else, for that matter. I will be melancholy, because that's part of what migraines do to me, even if life is going smoothly otherwise. And when does life ever go entirely smoothly? The cherry tomatoes I bought at a farmers market on Thursday were completely moldy by Saturday and somehow the wasted money and wasted tomatoes turned into a metaphor for my life. It happens. Times like these, the most rational thing to do is embrace the irrationality and let it flow through me until it flows away.

Old Jonatha Brooke albums fit the mood a little too well. BBC comedy programmes still make me laugh, though, so I know there is hope (even if there are no tomatoes).
