Sleepy

[telophase]

Sleeeeepy. Had a slight headache most of yesterday that got worse the later the day went and deepened into a migraine at some point during the night. Woke up at 7, staggered into the other room and took a Relpax, then crashed until 9. Migraine eventually went away, and I took a nap right before lunch, but I'm still sleepy and exhausted. And wondering when did exhaustion end up being my primary symptom of illness? Nowadays, I get a cold, I'm exhausted. I get a migraine, I'm exhausted. I contract any illness, I'm exhausted. I guess my warranty ran out. (Or, perhaps, I should start taking a multivitamin again and see if that changes?)

Yesterday was the Day of the Bug. Two cockroaches in the kitchen (we almost never see roaches, so I think they're coming in due to the weather), a stinkbug showing up on my keyboard randomly, and I am now covered in mosquito bites. Not to mention the small fruit fly invasion we've been having - we can't pinpoint where they're coming from, so can't eradicate them. In previous apartments, it's always happened when a potato gives up the ghost silently behind something else, but there are no dead potatoes that I can find around here.

Sigh.

Finished a painting yesterday that I'll post tomorrow. Not the Egyptian dancing girl, but a SEEKRIT PROJECT. :)

Seems to have been a bad sleep night all around. I went to bed just after midnight and was still thrashing around and muttering about the Mr.'s snoring at 2:00 a.m.

We just came back from a quick trip out for dinner and the grocery store, and while I was picking up some generic Advil, I noticed the Advil with sleep aid, and decided that for nights like last night, when I had a headache as I was going to sleep, it might come in handy. Don't intend to use it often, just when I've got headaches trying to become migraines, to see if it helps any.

For the fruit flies, a good method of dealing with them is to leave a jar filled a third full with equal portions dish soup (especially fruit scented ones) and apple cider vinegar. Cover it with plastic wrap and poke some holes with a fork and voila! Jar full of dead gnats.

I may be resorting to this soon.
