The above = my dominant viewing spot for the past 4, 5 days. Another epic migraine. Except for the 6 hour lie on New Year’s
Eve, when I convinced myself I was well enough to go to a party, smile and fake it. I was, of course, wrong. I had the right
intentions, however–get some fresh air, seem some lovely faces, engage in conversation. Pain trumps intent though, and so I
left without really saying goodbye to people and woke up the next morning with the usual unexplainable ache in my noggin and
a healthy dose of guilt(for the lack of au revoir–that’s very unlike me). Anyway, I feel like I’m finally crawling out of it…
right in time to go back to work tomorrow. Time for another doctor, because this episode was just ridiculous.

So I started my new year by hiding how sick I felt from everyone around me. I’m over it. I haven’t been well enough to do
much over the past few days except think–think on the ground behind me a bit but mostly on what’s in front. I squared away
my first gig for ‘10, and I’m ready to do more. There’s a new class to show my dukes to, and a few projects that are already
stealing my heart. Learning to approach them with “I will” instead of “I want to.”

More after I obtain some rest and a day or two of painlessness.
