- Start with chronic intermittent pain
- Add unpredictable hormone shifts
- Radically alter daily schedule
- Remove all familiar comforts.
- Lather, rinse, repeat for x number of days.
Example: Pain from a dying tooth nerve during the luteal phase of a monthly cycle, plus six added blocks to the daily walk and two train rides, combined with technical class (aka all-day information cram-fest) minus half an hour therapeutic art work on both ends of the day.
The above is three days of me this week, which is why yesterday's post picture is a dead-bang representation of how I feel. This morning had all sorts of fledgling ideas about how I was going to counteract the stress brought about by this craziness but that was then when my system had meds in it and this is now and my brain is depleted.
Time to revert to the basics: crawl into bed and curl up under the covers.
