Laughter Through Tears

So, so tired. In addition to the brain-killing heatwave (35 high today, 32 projected for tomorrow), my elbow has been acting up. On the one hand, I'm so glad the systemic medications are basically working and most of my joints function just fine, but alternatively, I wish my elbow didn't hurt so distractingly and so often. I shall go to a pharmacy and see if I can get something topical and OTC for the bad days.

Brain-killing heat also makes it hard to sleep. Add to that the doc switching my allergy medication, it's peak season for my worst pollen, and the new meds were just not cutting it. I kept tossing and turning and then waking up several times a night with a dry mouth. Dry mouth = sure sign that I'm breathing through my mouth because my nose is congested. I switched back to my old spray and skipped statistics this morning to catch an extra couple of hours of sleep.

Lab tomorrow. Super long day. I wonder if I'll be able to squeeze in a nap. On the upside: Tuesday and Wednesday off for Shavuot, aka "the holiday that Lea loves because it's an excuse to eat a metric fuckton of cheese". This also meets no statistics exercise until next week. Woo! {o/
