Headaches and such

Blogged on Saturday, December 22nd, 2007 by Rachael. Filed in Philosophical.

I woke up with one of those headaches that is nasty - nasty for me, anyhow - sinuses swollen up, head aching dully. I think I may be mildly dehydrated, because the heat in our house is really super dry, and it’s difficult to keep enough water in our systems, especially while one is sleeping. It’s not the worst headache I’ve ever had, but it’s about a 7.4 on a pain scale of one to ten. Ugh.

Today I was going to write about how I’m getting ready to re-dye my hair wth more cheap (read: inexpensive, not poor quality) purple dye, but this time I am going to lighten it a little first so that the dye ought to last somewhat longer. I spent a lot of time Googling it, so I think I have the proper techniques down. At least in theory. Ha. I’m sure you’ll be among the first to know if it doesn’t work out. Because the BEST thing to do when something embarrassing happens is to TELL THE INTERNET RIGHT AWAY.

Yesterday was the court date for the finalization of my divorce, and I had signed all my end of the documentation and sent it off to his attorney (at his request), so that I would not need to drive so far to show up. I did not hear from either of them yesterday, which I was a little surprised over - but I am guessing that means everything went as planned. I did text the now-(assumedly)-ex to ask him how it went, but he has still not gotten back with me. Which also leads me to believe that all went as planned; because from the beginning he has waffled back and forth on what he actually wants and expects out of everything. So I expect he has been spending his time feeling very depressed and annoyed in general.

So, hopefully, this part of it is done. The difficult part is the day-to-day living with it; taking Ian back and forth, sharing the medical and legal stuff as best we can. I am just really glad that at the end of the day, I have my son just as much as his father does. Any less than that and it is horribly unfair to both Ian and to me, not to mention his brother and sister.

I have temporarily taken off the IP banning from this blog (partly because I upgraded to WP 2.3 and I do not know yet whether it is compatible), but if I find out that my ex has been reading things here again and attempting to leave me pissy, self-absorbed comments like he did before, I will re-ban him. And you know I will. :)

Ugh. This headache is a nasty bastard of a headache. I can’t even finish my morning coffee (oh the horror!!), because it is causing my throat to be swollen up. I took medicine and am attempting to drink water. If I die from it, I suppose someone will let you guys know. In the meantime, soldier on without me!!

P.S. I will have some photos up soon of my new awesome emo-hipster sexy black glasses. They are AWESOME. (Did I already say that?) This is, of course, if I am not dead from the headache.
