I was at the clinic for three hours this morning (from nine to twelve, and exactly. I mean spot-on), with a headache I knew would take a lot of work. Also I was incredibly nauseated. So much so that I couldn't eat my cereal this morning. It's always a struggle to get food down in the morning, but today... nothing doing. Disgustingly, the Honey-Nut Cheerios actually slid down my tongue and back into the bowl. That nauseated me all the more.

Anyway, I don't feel like writing because of the "new-caine." I feel like napping -- only eight hours of sleep between the last two nights.

I should say that, with all the needlepoint Dr. 9 and 1 did for me today, Humpty is put back together fairly well...

[Pain, anxiety, overall: 4/10.

...Until tomorrow. I fall of the wall in my sleep.

And jesus christ, at times just how self-absorbed an activity this is hits me like we imagine olde-time doctors slapped newborn babies' asses...
