Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

A sunny, sparkly day, with a blue blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds -- postcard blue sky and postcard fluffy clouds -- and one huge black cloud slowly sliding across the sky directly over my house, reminding me (more by position and motion than by shape) of an Imperial Star Destroyer in a scene from A New Hope. Fortunately it looks uninterested in firing at me; it seems to merely be passing by.

Meanwhile, the temperature is cooler than it had been lately, and the humidity is down, and sticking my head out a window and feeling the weather feels like the air has been scrubbed clean -- new and hopeful, if you will. The canonical late-spring/early-summer day, before the season gets too hot.

Or maybe that hopeful feeling is just me, relief at last night's migraine symptoms mostly having passed (I'm still hypersensitive to thumpy noises, though that could be the fibro instead). I'm still not used to asking myself, "is this migraine related and should I act accordingly?" unless I have the Big Clue of excruciating pain in my head, but last night I eventually realized that other than the lack of major brainpain, the symptoms I was experiencing matched up and maybe just "lying down for a few more minutes" wasn't going to make me finally able to do all the things I'd planned to get done (or, later, the few things I could still do late) and I should see whether treating it as though it were a migraine did any good. Well, this morning feels a lot more hopefull, so let's see how much I can get done before I get too tired again.

Putting everything off for a day may get in the way of going to the Baltimore LGBT Pride festival tomorrow, but that was one of those "if I'm up to it / if everything works out" plans anyhow. Now I just have to keep reminding myself that to forestall feeling too disappointed about it anyhow, if I don't go. But if I do go, it looks like it'll be great weather for it.
