It was one year ago today that we had our "big one" - the 6.5 magnitude earthquake that trashed downtown Paso Robles, and reminded us that, yes, we really do live in California! It was the first big quake since we'd moved here. There had been a couple little ones; ones that made us ask, "Was that really an earthquake, or just that big semi rumbling by?" There've been several more since, many of which have been big enough to feel and which we've been able to definitely say were earthquakes. Or aftershocks. Whatever. Anyway.
I'm still not feeling 100% today, although I'm a bit better than yesterday. My stomach is not a happy camper right now, and I'm not really sure what's wrong with it. Is it something I ate, or is it a bug? Dunno. Don't really care, I just want it to stop being obnoxious.
Also obnoxious are these headaches/migraines I've been having all week. I take Advil first thing upon arriving at work to try to head them off, but they're persistent. As is the backache, sleepiness, tummy troubles, and general malaise I've been experiencing lately. Though certainly not as bad as the Flu of Death my family and I had last year, it's still annoying to once again be sick at Christmas. Gah!
I'm pretty sure it's all these headaches and tummy aches and good old Aunt Flo that's making me kinda sad and depressed this year. I know the holidays usually make people blue, but I really don't have anything to be depressed about, so the only thing I can think of is that I'm not feeling at all well physically, and it's affecting me mentally. I wish it would all just go away so I could enjoy the holiday.
Cheers!
