Today

Woke up this morning feeling tired as per usual, nothing extraordinary. Got a little dizzy early on, also not unusual. Then I ended up feeling seriously oogie, having one of those days where conversations with myself go something like this:

Me: What can I do to feel less miserable?

Myself: Crawl into a dark hole somewhere and die.

Me: No, not today. Come on, what can I do to feel better?

Myself: Crawl into a dark hole and DIE.

Me: NO. Not. Today. Now, what...

Myself: Find a nice, dark hole and...

Me: NO.

ad nauseam.

After spending rather a lot of time in bed, I finally felt well enough to go out for a bit, even surprising myself by walking a total of about two miles.

On a happier note (or collection of notes), I've been playing around on Launch more. I found out that the UK & Ireland version of Yahoo music has lots of world music the US version doesn't have, so I had fun listening to this station. What I didn't realize till today was that the Launches of different countries also have different genres you can rate. You guyyys, I had no idea that flamenco has subgenres! Not that I've actually heard any yet. For some reason, the Spanish version of my alternate Launchcast station I'm listening to thought it would be a good idea to play Nick Cave instead. Well, "Come Into My Sleep" is a great song anyway, even if it isn't flamenco. There's a flamenco station somewhere in here if I get desperate.

Ugh. I had that conversation with myself very recently. Good for you for getting exercise. I know I have been feeling bad lately but I have to make myself get at least some exercise. I think it would help. I did have some success today, mainly in the form of solid mental focus. That's good enough for me, for today. Hopefully I'll accomplish both someday soon.

Glad you won the discussion.

I'm having far fewer of those conversations myself lately.

Well, I didn't win so much as play music loud enough to make the other side shut up for a bit. Didn't really ease the pain and oogieness, which was what I was really after.

Gah. Here's hoping I can get my blood drawn this week, even if nothing else gets done.

Well, I didn't walk so much for the purpose of getting exercise. I had to get something at the store, and there was no other way for me to get it! Though I could have paid the higher price at the first store I walked to rather than looking for a better bargain elsewhere, I suppose.

It's great that you had solid mental focus! I've been missing that a lot lately myself.

Hope you feel well enough to slog down to the vampires.

I have to go in myself soon, get more tests done. I expect better results this time.

Tomorrow, I hope. If not then, Friday. I've got the itinerary all planned out for the next morning I can deal with traveling on an empty stomach. There's something else on the same bus route that I need to do, so I was hoping to save my pennies by doing both in one day.

more tests done. I expect better results this time

Hooray for better results! Good luck to you, Un.
