JOURNALS

Woke up with a headache today, which is just about the worst way to kick off a weekend. Took some painkillers, hoping it would pass, but it just morphed into one of those behind-the-eye headaches later on. It rendered me pretty useless for most of the day. I don’t know if it was stress or something else, but it knocked me out. I couldn't even read or use my laptop.

Spent the morning at the old studio, making sure everything was okay. Didn't touch anything that needed to be sorted because frankly, I wasn't in the mood.

Had plans to avoid plans, which turned out to be wise. With my head pounding, the majority of the day was spent on the sofa, unable to focus on anything. Tried to listen to stuff, but nothing really helped. Eventually gave up, went to bed, and slept through most of the day, only to wake up late in the evening, eat, and then head back to bed.

Had hoped to reconnect with Nixie, but didn't get much chance. We chatted briefly in the evening and watched a bit of TV together, but it wasn't the quality time I'd hoped for (walks in the wood, shopping). Day ended with me feeling like I spent more time unconscious than awake.

No grand insights or profound moments of relaxation either. Spent a bit of mental energy thinking about zines, but nothing too groundbreaking. Just another day of battling an uninvited headache while trying to navigate through the weekend.

On the bright side, I didn't do much on the laptop, so that's a win. Overall, today was mostly a write-off. Hoping for a better day tomorrow. Maybe this headache will finally pack its bags and leave. Fingers crossed.
