many things can be improved with bach (and magenta hair)

Aside from the nausea that has thus far refused to leave my side the last four days, I am actually feeling rather good today. -- Well, good now; I spent a lot of the morning sleeping and being cross and nauseated, and then I bicycled to my guitar lesson, which due to the nausea and some Angelusmobile shenanigans (he went around the curbs at the parking lot instead of behind them! stupid bicycle! though he's been a bit testy since I attached a wicker basket to his handlebars; thinks it makes him look like a right ponce. which, okay, it really does: however, and more importantly, I can carry an entire gallon of milk in there, and then some.) was not amongst my favourite moments of the week. I'd meant to go nag shops at which I've applied, but I forgot until halfway home, and by that time I was feeling so wretched that I had no desire to go back. (Anyway turning up pale, grim, and sweaty, with possible circles beneath my eyes, would likely not have boded well.)

But I came home and cosied up and got through half a book and had the radio on, and my mood has much improved -- my head feels remarkably clear just now, though not particularly focused. And I talked to my therapist on the phone about my concerns in regards to the medication I was put on, and I feel much more at ease now, and will start taking it again tomorrow.

Still really nauseated, though, which is irritating -- it's been a very, very long time since I've had nausea that lingered longer than a day or two. I'm really not sure if it's a side-effect of the medication or not. I just want it to go away now, please. I want to eat normal food and not have my stomach lurch like mad at the mere sight of cheese.

Annnnd I re-dyed my hair today, so it is now its proper magenta again. It fades, you see, because lately I have been showering much more than usual (heat = badness and ick, and in addition to making me smell unpleasant, it also seems to make my hair exceedingly limp and sad-looking), and regular shampoo makes semi-permanent dye come out much faster. (I'd buy fancy keep-colour-in shampoo if I had a regular income, but just now I don't, and anyway, the way it fades is pretty fantastic, actually; I shall take pictures on the next occurrence.) It's all richly bright and cheery and awesome and makes me happy, and anyway we leave for Grey Fox on Wednesday so I must have Absurd Counter-Cultural Hair before I have shenanigans at the bluegrass festival.

I want to write something, but my mind is all jangley and not very coherent and I have no idea if I can push anything out of it, aiee.
