Back to this again
I forgot to mention in yesterday's post: I nearly overslept on Wednesday (which would have been really bad because Early Morning Meeting). I woke at 7:15, which was barely enough time to get to the office on time. What woke me? I dreamed that I overslept. Thanks, brain/body clock! You're awesome.
In less awesome news, I'm resigning myself to no cosplay at 221B Con. I simply can't afford to build anything. Ah well. I have a couple Sherlock tees that I've gotten from the daily tee shirt sites and that will do. At least I'm going, and I have less packing to worry about now. Heck, I can probably get away with a carry-on so that's aces. Not building a costume (much less costumes) eliminates some stress and opens up my schedule for things like sewing some fucking bloomers for my Etsy shop. You know, so I might actually make some extra money to help support my Expensive Health Supplement Habit.
Speaking of expensive health crap, I had a swelling episode this week after weeks (weeks!) of not swelling. On Monday I had a bit of mid-cycle spotting (tenth day) and by evening I was very swollen. I didn't measure--it wasn't quite "belly past my boobs" bad--but I'd say three or four inches? Tuesday and Wednesday I experienced swelling to a less dramatic degree, but clothes were still snug by evening. Other possible factors: I'd had some dried fruit and nuts over the weekend, as well as a few hot drinks with coconut milk and vanilla (total: about a tablespoon of vanilla bean-infused vodka). Hormonal irregularity seems the more likely factor, though (especially since I ate dried fruits and nuts in small amounts in January). I'll talk with Dr. Khosh about this when I see him next month. I'm curious if there is a way to check daily hormone levels without doing a daily blood test.
I'm home from work today because of my second night of insomnia last night (see Oversleeping Issue at the beginning of this post). I think I got three hours of sleep last night? Super stressful dreams, and then I just woke up at 1:00, got out of bed and read a book until 2:30, tried going back to bed but didn't really fall asleep until close to 4:00, and then woke at 6:15 to call in sick. Slept fitfully for another couple hours and am taking the rest of the day to try to get myself chilled out and under control. I need to get a full night's sleep tonight.
