my day
after not being able to fall asleep or stay asleep last night, it was a very difficult decision whether or not to go to church. i was so tired and headachey. but i skipped last week, so i figured i better go (just later than my usual late). i went, came home, and let myself rest/sleep for about 45 minutes. i then got up and ate a bagel, some cheese, and a banana. i continued to be tired, but i didn't dare let myself sleep longer cuz i need to be able to sleep tonight.
so i went through the afternoon, and at about 4:00 i noticed i had something on my shirt. i could not figure out for the life of me what it was. i checked and my nose wasn't bleeding. i checked and didn't find any other wounds on me. it didn't really look like blood, but i couldn't figure out what else it was as i hadn't eaten anything drippy. i racked my brains. had i? no, nothing. so i sniffed it, and it smelled like soy sauce. why would it smell like soy sauce? i hadn't eaten rice. oh my gosh, had i eaten rice? had i eaten rice while having a seizure, so i just didn't know? i was awfully tired. the kind where i start to be careful just in case, cuz i don't want to have one. i started panicking. i can tell when i've had a seizure, though, and i didn't remember having one. oh my gosh, am i that sick? i haven't felt the best the last couple of days. am i sick and not knowing what day is what? is it a different day from when i ate the bagel and i don't remember and i've eaten a different meal since then? oh my gosh! totally freaking out. i debated going and asking my mom if i had eaten rice, but then i wondered if i should be getting up. should i lay down? oh my gosh. what is going on?!
but then, as i thought of my mother, i remembered that she had made meatballs. i had put them in the fridge about an hour before. it was meatball juice. thank the dear Lord.

Yikes! Glad you're OK. We really can convince ourselves of the worst and freak ourselves out, can't we?
i completely followed your train of thought. and sympathize with you on not sleeping well or at all. i knew insomniacs had it bad but it's nothing till you experience it yourself :(
also, having been going thru the HP series again, I kept thinking of Ginny having to explain to Harry what it's like to have been possessed and having stretches of time and events you can't recall...
:) (re: the Ginny reference)
Oh yikes! Scary! Glad it was nothing in the end! I hope you are able to get some rest.
when i told the girls at work, they laughed a little, but i was disappointed with their reactions. then i went out with mirabel last night and told her. she burst out laughing. she said she experiences similar things. she panicked the other day when she was running because everything was so beautiful and the sun was so bright and felt so good and she was so happy and crap! why am i so happy? something's not normal. am i going into a manic phase?! they just lowered my meds. was that bad? oh my gosh! what's going on?! oh. runner's high. okay. it's all good.
I've heard about runner's high. I guess I just never last long enough to experience it. :P
Haha! That cracked me up. Only because it was just meatball juice, of course. :)
Wow! I am WAYYYY far behind! I need to get on my actual computer more often!
This I understand. Although, my meatballs don't smell like soy sauce...
