Gamer Break

I'm totally not feeling it today. Not feeling like being awake, not feeling like eating, not feeling like saying a bloody word. And yet, here I sit, typing away. Hmmph.

I woke up with a massive migraine this morning while Marco was fast asleep on the couch so he wouldn't wake me when he came to bed. If I've not been getting good sleep, he'll take up the sofa instead. Last night, however, he would've been more than welcome in bed with me; I was up about every hour, tossing and turning, and taking a while to fall back to sleep every time.


Stephanie ended up not going to work today; her daughter has strep throat, for which she had to go to ER because her regular doctor couldn't get her in to see them. We went and did our grocery shopping, after which I came back home, cuddled Marco for a little while, and went back to sleep. Now Marco's at work, I'm home alone, still have a headache, and now I feel urpy to boot.

Besides all that, I've been having an extended flare-up in my fibromyalgia. It's been a week and a half since it started and it's getting worse all the time. It seems like no matter what I do -- heat, ice, tylenol, ibuprofen, rest, exercise, anything! -- it just feels worse. I wish there was some way to turn those nerves off. I cannot stand that burning and tearing sensation in my shoulders, neck, and upper back. It's the worst, especially with a migraine to top it off.

So I think I'm going to just lay low and play some video games today. Marco's friend let us borrow this awesome game for PlayStation 2 called Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon (link goes to gamespot.com page). It's a role-playing game with real-time fights (somewhat like in Final Fantasy X-2, although I didn't care for that one), demons that you control, and plenty of puzzles, mysteries, and unsolved cases to decipher. I've got about 70 hours logged on my current game at level 69 so far. I've got at least another 20 hours to go before I beat it, but that's mostly because I spend quite a bit of time leveling up before big fights and fusing my demons. That's the other fun part -- you get to fuse your demons when they've outgrown their usefulness to make stronger ones. The visuals in the game are also fantastic. The only drawback, in my opinion, is that some of the street-level screens are difficult to navigate, but nothing insurmountable in the slightest. Best of all, I've only had to consult a walk-thru once for this game, which is unusual for me.

Anyway, enough out of me for today. Hope everyone is well, and I'll (hopefully) be back in full working order tomorrow. As always, thanks for reading and thanks for all the feedback and comments! It totally makes my day to know that y'all enjoy my blog!

'Til tomorrow,
