I'm out in society! Whee!

Hellooo, people! Very excited, as last night hung out with real people, as opposed to family members or medical personnel. Which is not to downplay my family, whom I adore, especially my little, 4 yr. old nephew, Will, who told his mom, my sister (well, yeah, that's sorta obvious), "It's okay, Susie can come here. I will make it safe. Her head will not hurt." Oh my dear ever-lovin' god. So adorable it's painful.

But I was talking about something else. Oh, yeah, hanging out with real people. Yay! I finally felt well enough that I last night I went to a church thing and saw all my friends - the last which I saw them was in ....May? A hella long time ago. Also, met a kindred spirit. She loves all the small, unknown British tv shows that I do! Scarlet Pimpernel, The IT Crowd, Doctor Who (someone who understands the David Tennant aesthetic!), Coupling...okay, so the last two aren't really 'small' shows. We had  a dandy time talking about all of them.

Today, though, slight overhang. No, hangover. Right, that's it. Anyway, hangover in the form of a massive migraine. Damn you, hershey kisses. This is what happens, though. I get stuck in thinking that the way I'm feeling at that moment is the way I'll feel forever. So I have a couple of good days - I mean really good days - like very little headache, could handle Target's horrid flickering lights and then my wonderful, noisy nephew - and I think, 'Hurrah! I'm better! I can have a little chocolate! And some ice cream!" And that's always a stupid move. So, here I am with an overhang. No. Hangover. In the form of a massive migraine.

This, though, comes on the heels of a disastrous Monday, where despite seeing the lovely and wonderful Kathleen, I lived my social nightmare. I was on a horrible med and I couldn't stand up without falling over, walk a straight line, stand up after falling off a bench, and basically looked like a drunken mess. Maybe there'll be a post about it. Not sure yet. The general consensus is that my neurologist hates me. That'll make more sense in a larger context.

So bit of a swing week. Begins with Kathleen (yay!) and public drunkenness, and ends with clarity of thought and seeing people I haven't seen in months. Let's pray this trend continues. (No, not the drunkenness.)
