 I've been feeling pretty good since my meds got upped in the middle of January. Mom decided that today we'd go to Costco, to grab just the basics and make the most of the samples, and I didn't think anything of that. It wasn't going to be one of our all day shopping trips, or even a long trip at all. We were there maybe an hour and a half max? and I was just in so much pain when we left, sitting in the car was agonizing. I held myself together to feed the dogs and put the groceries away. I thought laying down for a bit might help, so I went upstairs to lay down and it took four hours for the pain to ebb enough that I could mildly function. An hour and a half in Costco ate five and a hour hours out of my day in total.  It's just... I thought I was doing really well the last few weeks? That whatever's up with my hip had healed more then that? But it turns out it might have been an illusion crafted by the home bound condition of it being hecking cold out. Aided by the magic of low pressure systems.

 

I did play a bit of A Hat in Time early today - made an attempt at the final boss, and actually made it through the level this time. I'd made decent progress on learning the boss's pattern when suddenly the boss just up and despawned from the arena. Just poof, gone - I don't think I'd done anywhere near enough damage for any sort of cutscene to have glitched out. I played around in the arena for a bit, just in cause something was trying to load in the background, and once it was clear nothing was going to change I quit out and I didn't have time to try again. It's a mild delight, because it's been ages since I've run into a glitch that's actually really affected my ability to play a game! As I recall... the last time was needing to wait for collision to load in FFXIII-2, and that wasn't really a hindrance just an annoyance.

So to explain my current, at this moment, state of being involves a bit of a story. More then what fits on twitter, yet I still want to say to. To complain really. 

My bedside lamp has a 'smart' lightblub in it. Which I admit is rather nice as I can control how bright it is with my voice via Alexa or an app. BUT, the 'default' mode is simply on so that if it loses power when the power comes back the light is on at full brightness. Power losses such as my dog jostling a plug loose. In the middle of the night. Several times. A 840-lumen light shining right in my eyes. And to turn it off I have to come awake enough to use the app or speak clearly. Which is how I ended up oversleeping this morning and woke up late with a headache. And because I overslept I missed breakfast, and by the time I got downstairs there wasn't any coffee left and it was late enough in the afternoon that making fresh coffee was a Bad Idea. I don't need coffee, I thought like the fool I was. Thankfully we had an engine drink tucked in the back of the fridge that was enough to vanquish the headache - I can't imagine how I went through three days of a headache like that in Florida. 

I spent my only 'spoons' for the day on washing the dishes as we were three days behind. I hate the feeling of looking at something and knowing if you do it it will be the only thing you do that day, yet also knowing that it needs to be done. Washing the dishes tore up my nails. I hope Chai doesn't repeat his stunt tonight and maybe I can deal with it tomorrow.
