Every couple of months, I get these extreme migraines. They last about a day and a half. They end with the sensation of a small bomb exploding in my brain.

Sometimes I feel I am getting too old to be in school. Thirty-three years...what the hell am I doing?

I have not spoken to my family in three weeks. I have been orphaned. According to my sister - when I take a week of unpaid vacation from my seven dollar an hour job and drive nine hundred miles to see her and the rest of my family - the world revolves around me. This could explain my exhaustion of late. Keeping the world spinning in an orderly ( Read more... )
