I can't even tell you how many times I get up, and throughout my day, think "this day is just so different, it's not my Normal, and I do not know how to describe it." Ironically, I think every-day-being-different is my normal. Today I am not suffering from the severe mental erosion I was yesterday morning. I think this is mostly due to the fact that I woke up with a major headache and have had trouble staying awake. Pain and distraction can definitely serve a purpose.

Back to the distraction vein. I was writing the first paragraph about two hours ago and completely forgot. It is just very difficult to concentrate today with this headache. But, hey, I am definitely appreciative of the fact that I am not battling depression and dark thoughts today. All smiles.... and headaches.
