2 Classes to Juggle This 5-Week Semester
1 Ongoing Headache
I’m exhausted, in pain, and feel like I’m a walking bruise.
I really hope the infusion helps. The saline bag they gave me was cold. It hurt. The entire time. And yes, I said something about it three times.
I’m going to relax, try to rest.
Take your meds, folks.

2 Episodes of Carnival Row Watched
Today was a nice day off. I spent the day with Reffie, writing, chatting, and catching the first two episodes of Amazon’s Carnival Row.
