Cold and tired, but overall better

averygoodun42I couldn't get to sleep last night because I was cold. I'd also forgotten to take my medicine, again, so I got up, put on my warm, fleece pjs and got myself some food.
I also wrapped myself up in a doubled-up quilt, put a hat and gloves on, and had a cup of tea to wrap my hands around. I never did get fully warm, though by 2:30 I was warm and tired enough to go back to bed. In my pjs (I usually forgo pjs in favor of more blankets, because blankets are easier to shed when I get warmed up. Plus, pjs get twisted up).
Anyway, because of all that, I'm having a very slow and cruddy morning. Not crappy, as everything is fine, just feeling... wiped.
On the plus side, the only thing I had planned for today was to go to the bank, so I can just take it easy if I so desire. Too bad I've also got that slightly restless feeling that goes along with the decline/recovery from a cold that makes me bore easily.
Completely unrelated, I've had a pleasant discovery recently. I don't know how long it had been an issue, longer than I can remember, but whenever an ambulance or firetruck went by with sirens and lights blazing, I would have to fight back the urge to sob.
That's not the case anymore. I still feel a visceral twinge in the gut, but the overwhelming emotion, mostly panic, is absent.
Yay! All this means that I'm not quite as messed up as I used to be! I'm sure I still have quite a bit of work to do to heal, but there's progress. And maybe even a couple less road blocks in the way.
