What do I want for my birthday? I have no idea.

Tom asked me to send him like 10 things that I have on my wishlist so he can pick something from there. I sent him 4 things I think. I don’t really have 10 things on a wishlist at the moment.

It definitely didn’t feel like early fall today when I was walking in the sweltering heat carrying a case of Bubly lime carbonated water, but fall is going to be rolling in soon.

I have really messed up my sleeping patterns over the last 1+, but they have been exceptionally bad over the last 3 months. Like still up at 4 am kind of messed up schedule.

I will classify today as the headache day since I woke up with one, and I am going to bed with it too. Headaches really kick the shit out of you.

I suffer from migraines on occasion but there was a time several years ago that I was getting 1-2 a week on average where they incapacitated me to the point of vomiting for hours.

I’m thankful that the time period has seemed to pass, but I am finding that the amount of regular headaches is increasing for me. I assume it is a product of the last 18 months.

I swear that I say this every single Sunday, but I can’t believe that the weekend is over already. I feel like I accomplished nothing once again.

The only thing that I managed to do today was swap out shelves with Merle. I traded my tall, white bookshelf with her shorter, yellow shelf to give her more space in the room and more places to store stuff.
