Must Stop Chocolate
It's a stressful time, but I realized this morning that I am making it worse by self-medicating with chocolate. While sweets seem like a great stress-reducer in the moment, they really are NOT.
I have the headache to prove it. It's so bad that I feel barely conscious, like most of my brain has shut down for repairs—which, actually, I guess it kind of did.
I tried a nap, but it didn't work. Between the kitten who wanted to play and the people jackhammering outside my window, there was no peace and quiet to be had.
Still, I'm feeling a little better. I was able to compose this. So I guess some of my brain function has returned.
Now the plan is a healthy lunch and some tea. Then we'll see how the day goes from here.
Edited to add: Oh great, now they've turned the water off. I guess I should have expected that since they are clearly working on the water pipes out there. Hopefully it won't be for long. Good thing I have all that water chilling in the fridge.
