Wednesday Update
Felt terrible on Monday (bad headache, low energy, dispirited) but better yesterday and am feeling pretty okay today. Okay enough to be annoyed instead of depressed at my lack of activity levels which is always better than otherwise.
The weekend was kind of rough.
I was too weak to do my own henna and indigo applications on my roots so the woman whose hair I do (and who usually does the back of my head) did the whole thing and bless her I don't know how she manages to miss so many spots, but my scalp is basically red polka dots from all the places she missed with the indigo. And I don't have the energy to redo the whole top this weekend so it's just gonna have to be like that for three weeks until I do my own partial touch-up.
Then on Sunday evening, the five-by-four-foot mirror I've had hanging in my studio for ten+ years cracked into three pieces. We're pretty sure it's due to the house getting new insulation and siding and the sun hitting that wall was more than it was used to. And, like, it's not like I was really using it anyway but that kind of made it hurt more? So now I gotta deal with hauling it out to the alley and calling the city for special waste pick-up in addition to just the emotional shittiness of yet another reminder of This Is Not The Life I Had or Wanted.
If I think about it too much I spiral into A Big Sad, so it's a good thing my energy levels are little better and I can at least distract myself as long as I don't spend any time in my studio.
I stopped taking my NAD+ supplements and also stopped eating raw vegetables to see which of those might be causing annyoing poop problems I've been dealing with for a few weeks (I was hoping it was just a bug and would go away but no luck OF COURSE). Poop problems have diminished considerably already. Next week I'll try starting the supplements again and if they don't cause a problem it was the raw vegetables. I'd miss my salads (after five years of raw vegs being verboten I was really loving my salads), but I'd rather be able to stick with the supplements since they were obviously helping my celluar function stuff.
Can I just get an easy win at something at some point? Please? I'm really over things being so difficult/disappointing.
