Trying to focus

Feeling a wee bit incoherent at the moment.

No mystery as to why – I didn’t sleep at all last night. Had one of my (thankfully) rare attacks of insomnia and couldn’t get within a country mile of sleep.

But not for lack of trying. Sigh.

So I figure I will crash sometime soon. Hopefully after I finish this half-entry and not in the middle of writing it.

I hate being interrupted by anything, including sleep.

Come to think of it, I had regular fully caffeinated Diet Coke with my Burger King last night. That might have put me on the fast track to No Sleep City.

Granted, I also stayed up late playing games on my tablet, but I do that every night.

In fact, the hours between 2 am and 8 am are a special time of the day for me. Everyone is asleep and I can play my games in undisturbed tranquility.

Unlike when I play them the rest of the day, with everyone’s biopressure impinging upon my consciousness from all directions.

I think that is what turns someone into a night owl : liking the feeling of being alone you get late at night.

I bet almost every single night owl is an introvert.

And hey, back in our hunting and gathering days, SOMEONE had to stay up all night to tend the fire and make sure it didn’t go out and plunge them all into darkness.

A very hungry darkness, full of claws and teeth and eyes much better at seeing in the dark than we are. One that is normally kept at bay by animals’ instinctive fear of fire.

That got spooky fast. Guess I am feeling that Halloween spirit.

So like, boo, I guess?

More after the break.


Up in flames

Feeling rather inflammatory at the moment.

In that several parts of me feel inflamed at the moment. For example, I got that pain that goes from my bladder down into my right testicle then further down the leg again.

I should probably get that looked at. Then again it might just be seminal buildup, AKA “blue balls”. And I would hate to bring THAT to a doctor.

“Gee, doc, I have this TERRIBLE ache in my balls. Can you.. relieve it? *porn music*”.

That probably would not have gone well.

More worrying is the feeling that I might be coming down with something viral.

That would explain that strange incident where I thought my blood sugar was crashing.

At the time, a runny nose and sore throat were not present so I didn’t think viral back then. But now I have both plus that telltale feeling of malaise.

So that means that I might not make it to Wound Care tomorrow. I will call the CCC early tomorrow and ask whether I should come in given my symptoms.

Of course, if things take a sudden turn for the worse, it will be a moot point because I will be in the freaking hospital.

Dunno why I felt the need to say that. Yet here we are.

I will talk to you nice people again tomorrow.
