 Interesting Day |

Today was an interesting day. I found a package for me from Russia when I got up.
That's never happened before. It was interesting to receive something from so far away with strange writing and such on it. I've been learning Russian, so I was able to understand some of it, however.
It turns out that it was a nice (though late) birthday present from my Olga. 
She got me something nice, so I'm happy. She's a great girl.
Later in the afternoon, the sky became very dark - almost like night.
So, I had to look at the radar online to see what was going on. There was a red line approaching. It was a pretty good strength thunderstorm, and it came down from the Northwest, bringing some hail along with it. Peas and mothballs, yummy. 
It must be the strongest storm we've had here in Ottawa so far this summer. It wasn't too bad, though. Just enough to be exciting to watch.

Tired All The Time |

I've been pretty tired for the past couple of days. I have caught yet another virus, and my parents have it, too.
This has to be the worst summer for viruses that I've ever seen. I've already mentioned the weather, but it hasn't improved. It's always cloudy, and it rains quite often. Temperatures don't even get that hot. Very unusual for this time of year.
There are very few thunderstorms, despite the daily warnings, and the ones that do occasionally show up are very small and weak. It's so disappointing.
It's funny that I had trouble sleeping when I'm so tired that I feel like I should just stay in bed forever. At least my stomach is okay. I haven't been very nauseous for the past week or so, and I've had a decent appetite.
I've been trying to work on my screenplays and not getting very far. Brain fog is always there, just blocking any creative energy from flowing.
I've been watching a movie just before bed every night for the past week or so, like I used to do when I was sleeping during the day, with the hope that it will help spark my imagination a bit.
I was hoping to record some music this summer, just to see how that would go. But it doesn't look like I'll be able to do so if I keep feeling like this. I can't play anything at all on a day like today. I guess I will have to find another way to compose music other than just messing around with a guitar.
Maybe I should get a Mac and its very interesting GarageBand program...

Since I got some cash for my birthday, I decided to get a few more DVDs. I haven't bought any DVDs since January, I think.
Anyway, I ordered from Amazon.ca on Sunday night and it all arrived today.
Here's what I got:
- Batman Begins
- Eraser
- Police Squad!: The Complete Series
- National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1
- Lethal Weapon: 4 Film Favorites; Lethal Weapon 1 - 4
- Magnificent Seven

Today is my birthday. I've made it through another wonderful year.
I actually wasn't feeling too well today, unfortunately.
I had some nausea and very bad insomnia, muscle pain, twitching/shaking in my legs, and weakness pretty much all over my body. And when I finally fell asleep, I had an attack of pain near the bottom of my spine at around 5AM that was really bad and lasted for about a half hour.
It's very likely that I have Fibromyalgia.
I've done a lot of research, and a couple of people I mentioned it to (who happen to be doctors) have agreed with me, so that's another condition added to my list.
I sometimes had wondered if I had Multiple Sclerosis, but that doesn't seem to be the case at this point, thankfully.
Now for the positives of the day. I actually received many "happy birthday" greetings online, much more than I've ever had. In fact, even total strangers contacted me. It was quite interesting.
I know what people say about Russian girls, but none of that has been true from my experience. Every one of them that I've met online has been very nice.
As for gifts, I received:
- Nintendo DS (got it early, as I posted)
- Mario Kart DS
- Need for Speed ProStreet DS
- The Fugitive DVD
- Hot Shots / Hot Shots: Part Deux DVD
And, as usual, some $$$.

Things have gotten worse. I now have some sort of virus yet again, likely the same one that I had in early June, which caused a lot of stomach trouble, along with pretty bad anxiety.
I awoke yesterday, a bit earlier than usual, but still a bit later that what I would prefer. Getting up at noon is still pretty late, but quite an improvement from last year, I suppose.
I felt that something was wrong, so I didn't eat anything. Then I started vomiting.
It only lasted a few minutes, then it was over until the same thing happened again today. It seems to always occur an hour - or a few hours - after I get up.
I guess the virus was doing something in my stomach while I slept, and then the water I drank after getting up got stuck in there. Strange thing is, as I was vomiting, my nose became very runny! 
I've been spending a lot of time in bed, taking naps. Good thing I have the new mattress.
Oh, well. I did manage to force myself to write some poems.
I split up the monster song lyrics / poems file that I had; one for miscellaneous song lyrics, and one just for poems for Olga.
There's some good stuff in there that I could use, I just need the inspiration to finish it. Sometimes digging to the bottom of the pile and reworking something a little bit helps get things flowing. The same goes for all my writing projects, I suppose. I really wish it were easier, but nothing in my life has ever been.
