Notes from the other side of migraineville

[serene]

1) Still not ready to turn on lights or increase the brightness on my computer screen, but after about fifteen hours of varying levels of agony, I'm starting to feel human again. I will probably still be feeling the effects of this tomorrow, but at least I can form semi-coherent sentences now, and whimpering is not my main mode of communication.

2) Had a not-exactly-a-date with a person I met on OKCupid, but who has known me for some time from local listservs on which he mostly lurks. We had a misunderstanding early in our correspondence that I thought would be a dealbreaker, but we managed to work it out admirably, and we met in person a week or so later. He shall henceforth be known here as Secret Agent Man, and I like him a fair bit. My boyfriends are having a bit of fun teasing me about this, but that's okay. My boyfriends are the best boyfriends in the world, so they're allowed a lot of leeway.

3) I did nearly no work today, so if I ignore you all for the next couple of days, you know why.

4) Did I mention what good boyfriends I have? Today, they really were the heroes of the revolution. Without them, I might not have eaten at all, my kitchen would be a wreck, and I would probably be huddled in a corner somewhere crying for my mommy. I don't need much tending most of the time, but every so often I do, and I got it in abundance today.

5) Oh, and loracs. She rocks, and she put up with my utterly ungrateful reactions to her attempts at taking care of me today. It was not her fault my headache was making me feel cranky. She is a darling, and I don't deserve her.

as for Secret Agent man - I started to comment when you first mentioned this and I got distracted or something. It took M 2 years to let me call him "M" in my LJ. I've speculated (joking... mostly) that he IS a secret agent :)

Secret Agent Man is probably not a secret agent for real, but I wouldn't be TOO surprised. ;-)

His reaction to the nickname was something like "I bet you think I had that coming, don't you?" and I had to confess to some amount of evil glee.

Someone should let me know if loracs and stonebender need help tonight. You probably want another day without bright lights, no?

Thank you wild_irises for the offer, but I'm putting stonebender to bed now. It's a lot easier to "dump" him into bed than get him out of it, so it seems to be okay.
