Of Sleep, Seizures and Sales Letters
Dear Diary,
Where to begin?
It's been a crazy ride these past two days. As you already know I have spent the better past of the past 10 days burning the candle from both ends. Catching up on work, living on coffee, taking cat naps here and there. What I left out was that I was not taking my meds. I knew there were withdrawal effects but I was sure that I would buy my refills in time to not suffer them. And what was the worst that would happen? Sudden depression? Boy..
Two nights ago I had what I hope will be my first and only seizure. It was the most scary and painful thing I have experienced in recent memory. And considering the rash I had two (three?) weeks ago I think I have some memories to compare it to... I sprained my thumb in the process and when it was over I felt completely lobotomized. Zombified. A feeling that lasted all of yesterday. I ended up sleeping most of the day. Not willingly but it seemed everytime I had an 'aftershock' I would fall asleep after.
I did not feel up to cooking. Emotionally that is. But mom knows how much I love to cook and she forced me to clean myself up. She then drove me to the supermarket. I kept my head low. I was still walking funny as well :( I have agoraphobia, the meds help it a lot, but it was flaring up at that point. Fortunately the supermarket was totally empty (no kidding) so .. thank G-d for small mercies.
I bought what I needed and some cupcakes to cheer myself up and reward myself for just gettingt through the past week. Then I got home and started cooking. Within minutes for the first time since the seizure I felt myself cheering up. Thanks Mom :)
I made a tuna n spaghetti dish, if you're curious, it was amazing :) Tons of garlic olive oil and basil :)
On an up note the client who I wrote all those sales letters for wrote me awhile ago to say that they were amazing. So I feel kinda happy about that.
I'm still not at 100% mentally. I feel a bit slow cognitively and it probably shows in my language but I'm happier now and feeling myself come back to life again. So. Yay. And my thumb is a little better.
In other news: Rumour has it that there is a new Dolly Parton diaryring in town and I would be remiss if I did not advertise it at this point ;)
Rowr! Billy Mays is hawking a new product and this time he's doing something new! He's flirting with the camera! A little smirk here, a little wink there....
