I thought I would post some song lyrics here.

“Upside Down”
by Triangle Sun

In the night
Two tiny lights
Shining from the midnight skies
Into your eyes

They are so far
Heaven’s blue
One moon for two
Drifting in the Milky Way
To the break of day
Just like me and you

I’m turning upside down
You’re standing on the ground
Two happy distant planets
In their love were found
But the million stars around
Will never meet each other

Turning upside down
In a cosmic sound
We gonna live forever
Eternal home we’ve found
We’re turning upside down

In the space of our heart
Feel no pain
Under the meteor rain
In spite the power of black holes

If I will fall
You’re holding me
(You’re holding me)
(You’re holding me)
(You’re holding me)
Shining bright
Beyond the night
Like diamonds in the morning light
We’re melting ice
Of the universe

I’m turning upside down
You’re standing on the ground
Two happy distant planets
In their love were found
But the million stars around
Will never meet each other
Turning upside down
(Turning upside down)

In a cosmic sound
(In a cosmic sound)
We gonna live forever
Eternal home we’ve found
(Eternal home we’ve found)
We’re turning upside down
(We’re Turning upside down)
In the space of our heart
(In the space of our heart)
I’m turning upside down
(I’m turning upside down)

You’re standing on the ground
(You’re standing on the ground)
Two happy distant planets
(Two happy distant planets)
In their love were found
(In their love were found)
But the million stars around
(But the million stars around)
Will never meet each other
They will never meet each other

Turning upside down
In a cosmic sound
(In a cosmic sound)
We gonna live forever
Eternal home we’ve found
(Eternal home we’ve found)
We’re turning upside down
In the space of our heart
(In the space of our heart)
(In the space of our heart)

I guess the name of the game is patience.

I am now on day three of “no shampoo (and conditioner)”, only cleaning my hair with water and brushing it.

If I can get through this with my hair intact, I’m only going to wash it before I dye it so that the hair strands are as open and stripped as they can be. Normally I don’t have to wash my hair that often, maybe once or twice a week, but I’m tired of dying my hair and then having the shampoo strip it, no matter what kind it is or how “friendly” it’s said to be to hair that has been colored. I just want my hair to stay as bright as possible, and if that means saving money not buying myself shampoo or conditioner from here on out… that’s great.

Bub’s microSD came in the mail, and so far so good downloading all of his games “from the cloud” onto it. Well, aside from how long this looks like it’s going to take, but I knew that going into this. This is a 400GB microSD, so here’s hoping that it holds all of his games and the ones that he will pick up afterward for… well, at least a year. It seems like we’re getting a new microSD card every year now, but I don’t mind as long as there’s something that I can keep all of his games on. Some of these games are large, so downloading them from the cloud time and time again (which is where they are kept after purchase if they’re not on the actual card itself) can be and is cumbersome… just a bit. And this one is an actual Nintendo microSD card as well!

Here’s hoping that it doesn’t take more than two days to download all of these games, big as some are…

Since I haven’t actually mentioned this here…

At the local pain management clinic, I was put on 2,700mg of Gabapentin to see if it affected my migraines. I titrated up to it over the course of a month. Doctors have people titrate when they’re going up to higher doses to try and minimize the “medicated” effects that the medication is more than happy to provide, but I got there. And as I got there, a numbness began to form in my left hand that I didn’t pay much heed to until I realized that I could only really use my index finger and thumb, that I can not bear weight at all in my left hand, and if I want to type coherently with both hands I need to watch exactly where my left hand is because I hunt and peck by memory. The numbness kind of goes up my arm on that side, and I have milder numbness on the back of my left foot. Since it is helping, the decision was made to leave me on it for as long as is safe and tolerable, and I am adjusting in the meantime. I am also back on Fioricet, and recently had my dose upgraded from one pills to two as needed. If I can get away with it I only take one pill, but I know myself well enough by now. If the side effects from Gabapentin persist or get worse, I will titrate back down.

I was also put back on Olanzapine as needed for migraine abortion, but this medication has made me gain weight. Too much weight gain adversely affects my spirometry, and if it keeps going, my ability to breathe (so then there would be weight gain on top of my already pre-existing asthma). I take it only as I need it…

I am also thinking about having my primary care doctor upgrade my nortryptline from 50mg to 100mg, too.
