||Day Thirty-Three||
Today was a day of motivation, organization, and even some frustration.
My mom and I started the morning ready to get things done.
Today we planned on tackling the loft area of our house which currently serves as storage for two things: (1) anything my brother our I brought back from college, and (2) anything we hadn't unpacked from moving two years ago that obviously hasn't been needed in the past two years.
Mainly these boxes from the old house include things like old VHS tapes, yearbooks, photos, office supplies, and an assortment of papers, files, binders, and who knows what else.
So we shifted things around, we moved things out, and ultimately made a lot of progress. Truth be told, the boxes themselves will take some time to diligently go through and figure out what's worth keeping and then from there we can decide where it should go in the house. However, progress came to a screeching halt when we tried setting up our internet in the loft; which consequently lead to a plethora of problems that I couldn't even begin to describe. The point is, frustration ensued to the point where we just needed to walk away from it for a bit. This lead to my mom and I going out for lunch (a rather late lunch at that), and that made us both feel a little better.
We never did go back to the loft after lunch, which was just as well because we had other cleaning to do to attend to because my "aunt" was coming over in the evening. I say "aunt" because she was my aunt at one point (she was married to my mom's brother but they eventually separated), and she gets along with my mom really well. She's honestly one of the greatest people I know. She's hilarious, smart, talented, and a cancer survivor. And I'm proud to call her my "aunt".
Anyway, the three of us went out for Mexican, I ate way too many chips with salsa as always, and then we came back to the house for dessert. It was pretty great.
Until I started to feel sick. All day I had been fighting a headache, and though it seemed neck related, it kept getting worse with light and sound (classic signs of a migraine). At that point, though, it was too late to take an migraine pill and risk staying up all night (which ironically, is what is happening to me right now despite my not taking it). Over time I also felt incredibly nauseous, and I pray it was not due to the food. But, two potentially-expired Pepto-Bismol tablets later, I feel a lot better and hopefully this headache/migraine/whatever doesn't continue into tomorrow.
I've got way too many projects planned to be slowed down by my own debilitations.
