Feeling: emotionally, pretty ok.  Physically…well, I kind of wish I had any sort of appetite.

After the roller coaster that was yesterday, I woke up in a pretty good mood, made better by the fact that most of the joint pain I’ve been having off and on seems to have passed.

Dealt with some serious ass shit last night.  Had some interesting revelations.  The first meltdown of the Ick season is always quite a doozy and doesn’t ever make any sense.  Actually a bit surprised with the timeline of things to be honest – the first hint of it was early by at least a week if not more and the first meltdown usually follows within a week or so, sometimes as much as two afterwards.  This time was about a month.  I’m going to attribute it to brain chemical alterations, and leave it at that.  I mean, heck, I have some pretty amazing chemicals/hormones going around in my brain right now: ADHD meds; dopamine, adrenaline, and serotonin from NRE; and the introduction of oxytocin and vasopressin for bonding.
