Hard Night's Day

Last night was rough. Hellish. Horrific.

Those, who have clusterheadaches, know what I'm talking about. I woke up in agony with ch. When the pain finally stopped and got ready to go back to sleep, another one begun and then one more. I was complitely exhausted when I finally got back to bed.

Now, some may wonder, why I didn't take any medication. Well, simply, because I was OUT. I had had the last can of energy drink around 9pm, when I got hit. And back here stores close at 9pm, so I coudn't get some more. I had been trying to stock up, be the stores have been out of them for a while. That's what you get when you live in halls of residence, I suppose.

Anyway, after a hard night, the day has felt better. I've had some shadows, but that's ok. My mood in general has been up beat, which is nice. I didn't have as much sleep as I would have wanted to, but CHit happens. I might take a nap sometime, if I get too tired. (And if I do and it triggers ch, then so be it.)

It's nice and quiet at the flat now. All my flatmates are out and about. it's dark outside and I'm going to turn on my fairy lights and light up 4 candles. That's the best thing about this time of year. I actually have this romantic memory about fairy lights... I was walking down the Oxford Street in London back in fall 2001 and admired all the beautiful lights... It was so amazing! Then I saw this couple, so obviously in love. Recalling them and that night makes me smile. =)

Yes, Christmas is slowly but firmly making its way here. One of my flatmates placed an angel on her door. It's made of golden paper. We have similar angels back in Helsinki and soon I'll be placing them on the living room windows.

It's great to have my boyfriend over at my house for Christmas. It will be our first together and I want to make it special. =) This year there will be 8 of us at Christmas; mum, me, my boyfriend, my aunt (mums youngest sister) and her daughters and their boyfriends. It will be interesting to see how things will go! This will be the first time my boyfriend meets my aunt and her bunch, and I'm meeting for the first time one of the boyfriends.

This fall has been hard, hard indeed. So I really, really hope that Christmas will be a great one.
