floatingleafFINALLY got my acupuncture today. GODS, what a relief! I was ready to curl up in a ball and whimper in sheer misery. I also had a massive premenstrual tension headache, which didn't help. But it's all better now. Or at least, my upper body feels fine. The misery has gravitated southward...:/
At least I don't have to go anywhere or do anything tomorrow if I'm not up to it. The groceries were bought yesterday, since I left work early after our annual holiday lunch. I am also off Monday AND Tuesday, which leaves plenty of time for cooking, laundry and such.
Ugh. I had thought to make a more interesting post, but apparently that is beyond my capacity at the moment. I am using up all my devastating wit and stunning insights in conversations with my evil VC twin.;P We spoke on the phone twice this week, in addition to exchanging a few emails and the usual random bursts of texting. This is a HELL of a social life for yours truly, the certified hermit.;) I'm afraid I may be neglecting other people. Which I sometimes do anyway, simply because I have so little need for human interaction (UNLESS said interaction centers around my obsessions). Btw, we did speak about that, too; how the people I feel closest to are often very different from me in crucial ways - namely, extroverted, socially active and outgoing - simply because those are the kind of people who don't give up on me when I stay quiet for a while. Another insecure, reserved, introverted person would probably start to overthink my silence - and eventually assume that I am simply not interested in keeping in touch with them anymore (I know, because that's what I do when I don't hear back from a friend for longer than usual). Which most likely wouldn't be true... but by the time they figured it out, I would assume the same thing about them, and we would just gradually drift apart. But a confident, outgoing person would just call and shake me out of my hermit mode, and I would be happy to talk to them, for a change (unless I'm really not in the mood to talk to anyone; but again, in this case the confident person wouldn't feel hurt or rejected, they would just try again some other time). Anyway... just food for thought. And now, bedtime. *yawn*
