Irritable. I am so damn irritable today.
It's interesting how psychological pain has physical manifestations. I feel a distinct pain/pressure at the very tippy-top of my head. It feels like my brain is pressing up against the top of my skull. Like there's not quite enough room in there.
Then there's the weight, the pressure on my chest, right over my sternum.
And finally, the invisible slog that surrounds me and makes every move just a little difficult. It feels like I might just as well lay in bed, because then I don't have to fight it.
Pain relief comes in the form of carb ingestion, alcohol consumption, and distraction. Carbs are going down the hatch all day long, but the alcohol I manage to save for "happy hour" (what an appropriate name!) Which leaves distraction: if only I have the energy to pursue it.
Well, there you go. I'm feeling sorry for myself again. Isn't that great?
