Terrible night.
I had to take two Benedryls so the sleep inducing powers would over take my headache so I could sleep. It was a couch night for sure. I basically sat straight up and it still felt like there were nails being driven into my forehead.
Stupid weather.
Stupid IIH.
Stupid.

Dreams
So Prom Date made me watch this terrible movie last night about infectious diseases. Contagion. It was supposed to be filmed here in town but they pulled out. Apparently he ended up working on one of the sets though so it resulted in me sitting through 146 minutes of the most boring shit I have ever seen.
Still, it resulted in these weird dreams about sick people, zombies, and the apocalypse. It also resulted in my getting like 6 hours of very interrupted sleep which I am not ok with.
I'm the kind of girl who needs a good 9 hours.
This is going to be a good weekend. Hubs and I have duties today that can't really be discussed in public because they are technically against the rules (we'll just say it might involve a small girl with a bow) and then tomorrow we are going to the drive in to see The Hunger Games with Cats and Spicy Ramen. I am super excited. I LOVE the drive in and I haven't been there since I was a kid. I will wear my PJ's just in case I fall asleep.
I do have to get to those trainings I need to finish though. Maybe tomorrow afternoon.
IIH can kiss my ass.

I missed you
I am sorry. I have been unmotivated since my vacation.
Tomorrow is the first day back from spring break and so I have to get back to it.
I have had the shittiest head day ever in the world. I took a nap earlier, not because I was tired but just because I wanted to have my eyes closed. Sometimes when I have these days I think about the people who tell me that I always have a smile on my face and I want to go out and about because I do not always have a smile on my face.

Surprises
Today was supposed to be a surprise birthday party for Cats.
She found out.
Now I am not pointing fingers or naming names, but I assume the responsibility lies with her husband, Spicy Ramen. I know that he may try and fool you with his denials in the comments of this blog post. I would suggest you take everything he says with a rather large grain of salt.
Wills' guest post. Pretty awesome huh? Almost made me cry.
Today has been a fine day. A good day. Sunny as can be so we took the pups for a walk down by the pond. Then I napped, which is interesting because I slept for 12 hours last night. Something I need to ask the neuro about I think.
Dr. Awesome... is narcolepsy a typical side effect of IIH?
I also discovered something a little horrifying last night. I believe I am growing horns out of my forehead. The Hubs says they are as pronounced as they have always been. I doubt him on this. And they seem to be smaller today. Also something I need to ask the neuro about. I think this one might have go in the ridiculous question section though.
A little housekeeping note. I have added a symptom calendar up above. If you click on it you will travel to my google calendar which will tell you the weather and what symptoms I am experiencing that day. Enjoy. Maybe someone will want to make a graph.
I must go shower for this surprise party that is no longer a surprise. I hope the vegetarian chili is tasty. I used this recipe but I added a whole bunch of things and my crock pot barely closed. Oops.

My hair hurts
So Wills is going to post a guest blog post.
I read it and it is far better than any post I have ever written.
I will understand if you want her to take over. So look out for that.
Not only am I exhausted but my hair hurts. I had a student tell me that the other day. I laughed at him. Now he is the one laughing at me. He has this dimple. It kills me. He could probably kill one of my dogs in cold blood and I would forgive him just because of that stupid dimple.
Another shitty thing about IIH. My eyes get sore. Like exhausted and itchy sore. So I am always rubbing them. I think that makes you get wrinkles. I will look old before my time.

Excitement
SO! Got a message on the bookface today from the NewsMan. He got an email from someone who read my article who's daughter has IIH. Terrible that she had IIH, but cool that the article did what it was supposed to do! This poor girl has been having a rough go of it lately and so I am going to call her tomorrow. Hopefully we will be able to get together and talk about how much this thing sucks.
I took a nighttime nap tonight. I am a failure.
Pretty awesome day for me on the IIH front. Nice sunny day which meant nice clear head. Exhaustion reared it's ugly head about 6 though. Sometimes it happens that way, I'll be fine fine fine fine fine and then all of a sudden I am falling asleep. I am still groggy, but that could have been the deep sleep.
I had a dream that I was asleep and someone knocked on the door. I had to let them in but by whole body was asleep so I was dragging myself to the door. It was incredibly frustrating because the person was rather upset with me.

Sleep
Last night I took a night time nap.
This is something I do regularly as it ruins my sleep schedule but I figured it was Friday and I could sleep in if need be. I asked the Hubs to wake me up at 7:30 which he did. I mumbled something about it being one of those nights and fell back to sleep. I woke up at 11:30 pm. I took my pills and went back to sleep. I woke up again at 6 am this morning and proceeded to lay in bed for an hour until my alarm went off.
It was glorious.
Being tired has become a part of my life. It is like a little pet that sits on my shoulder and is always with me. Both comforting and annoying. On occasion it is overwhelming and I do things like sleep for 13 hours. I try to feel like a loser for being 26 and going to bed at 6 on a Friday but I just can't make myself. After this 13 hours of sleep I will feel awake and ok for the morning and then the tiredness will creep back in slowly. It will be more manageable though. It will be a slightly smaller pet, maybe a sugar glider instead of a large anaconda that wraps around my body.
Hey! Let's make a list of things I have to do today...
Nothing.
Ok. That is a slight exaggeration. I will hang out with my mother. We will go out to dinner. We will watch Project Runway Allstars. That is not unpleasant so it belongs in the nothing pile.
Tomorrow I am baking for Rare Disease Day. Did you know Rare Disease Day is on February 29th? I hope you have your plans! Time is getting short. I will be baking a whole bunch of cookies and bringing them into school on Monday. I will be putting little informational things on them so everyone knows about Rare Disease Day. I am increasing awareness. What are YOU doing???
