I promise to eventually shut up about the Matrix. I was just feeling very very smart last night.

Meanwhile, I have a very very ridiculous job interview today that I will explain when it either comes to fruition or not.

Regrettably, I also have the cramps from hell.

Also -- now that my brain has clicked in -- get to pick up my headshots today, which will then be brought to the retoucher, which will then be brought to reproductions. And then.... well, who knows, right?

It is a true thing of writers, that our internal narratives are either what keep us alive, or drive us mad. I was always told my narratives were poison and childish, but I've not turned out at all like those who have said such things for me. Which makes me wonder if comtempt is an inevitable feature of all situations which embody dichotomies.

Have you tried a heating pad or hot water bottle on your stomach? I used to think it was an old-wives' tale until I actually tried it with on unbelievably awful cramping, and it helped a lot - it's much nicer than relying on painkillers all the dam' time.

Total bliss is having the time and means to lie down, put a heating pad under the small of your back, and another heat source on top of your stomach. On my bad days, it's the only way I can sleep, but it's worth the fussing around with pads/bottles/15lb cats, etc. (cats are my alternative heat source if said cat has just put his claws through my hot-water bottle... Max is a bit heavy, but he stays where he's put...)

All very true, and for the same reason baths can be great. But then, you know I'm a proponent of baths as the key to physical and psychological well-being ;-)
