a million and one reasons my body hates me

[khloidanikos]

Today was the second time this semester that I had health problems flare up in the middle of my last rehearsal onstage before a band concert, though luckily I didn't almost pass out this time. That was distinctly unfun. Instead I got the braindeath and confusion of a migraine prodrome, and it was just weird. Anything that I didn't have a visual or physical grip on just wouldn't process in my brain; I miscounted measures of rest everywhere, even in Aegean Festival Overture with the cracked up time signatures where I could look at every measure as it happened, and I couldn't remember a key signature to save my life. Luckily I took a couple painkillers and killed the fucker before it got a good grip on me, so I should be fine for the concert tomorrow. I really should have realised it was coming with the light sensitivity over my lunch break, but it was really bright outside so I wasn't concerned. Which really is a perfect example of how I need to pay attention to what my body is telling me, and also to stay away from dairy, even more than usual, because my digestive system hates me.

You know, usually at this time of the semester I am freaking out about classes, but for some reason I seem to have pretty much nothing going on this time around (other than my body being angry at me in various ways). I can't say I'm upset about it, certainly.

Oh, also! My mother got me a babysitting gig for the summer, so I don't have to freak out so much about getting a job! \o/

Uggggghhhh migraines. I'm glad you got a hold on this one. One of my big fears while pregnant was that I'd get more migraines than usual. Lucky me, that didn't happen.

I'm lactose intolerant but oh, I love certain dairy so much, and am willing to pay the price sometimes.

I kind of got a hold on it, it tried to come back today, so I took an excedrine and vibrated through my concert (I got off caffeine a couple months ago and now even a little makes me ridiculously jittery). turned out all right, though.
