Just wrap me in bubble wrap and be done with it.

Lessee, last I wrote, I was feeling better from chiropractic adjustments. That night, I was tripped by a certain large black cat, and fell down a couple of stairs. The bruise on my rear is spectacular. Thankfully, the fall didn't throw my back out again.

The doctor's appointment was good, and I have a follow-up on the 26, so we can go over the results of the x-rays of my upper spine and base of my skull, and the results of the mass of blood tests that are being run. But I kept having milder versions of the migraine that sent me to the ER ... and then on Sunday, the Stroppy One made me switch back to my old glasses (I'd gotten new ones in June), and we have determined that I probably gave myself hellacious eye strain over a few weeks. It is interesting to note that now that I've switched back to my previous glasses, the swings of vertigo and light sensitivity have died down.

And then on Monday, I slid down two stairs again and banged my right arm up. (Not Vlad's fault this time, but my own carelessness.) And the rotten cherry on this sundae of nonsense: all of this has left me exhausted, so I'm not able to get as much done as I want, and therefore I am feeling unproductive and guilty.

WHY, BRAIN RACCOONS? WHY?!

But! I got a new Gothic Charm School post written, I did slooooowly manage to get a couple of mending projects done, and the bedroom is still tidy after last month's Great Uncluttering. And I'm sloooowly stepping up my witchy work, because it makes me feel better.

My brain raccoons are doing the same darn thing. Sigh.
Had an interesting convo with the lady at my mail service. She has had migraines all of her life. Her insurance finally covered her getting Botox shots for migraines. 6 months in, to the treatment protocol, she has cut her headache and migraine days in half! Shots around the head and neck. Thought I'd mention it since it was fascinating.

That's very interesting--and dismaying--that your new glasses were affecting your headaches. I'm taking note. I'm getting a new prescription filled this month and finally getting new lenses. I hope that you can get yours adjusted so you can both see more clearly and be free of additional strain on your eyes!

Freaking cats underfoot, too!

I'm inspired by your uncluttering and am working on some of that this weekend. Witchy stuff, too, is going to slowly come back in this summer, until I am back to regularly observing lunar and seasonal rituals. I dropped a lot of that, somehow, probably because of school, but you're right, it brings a certain order to the rest of life that is helpful!

If you're going to have hellacious bruises, you should at least get them in (ahem) a fun way. I'm sorry. And I wish you a speedy recovery.
