A Glimpse into My Recent Adventures
I wanted to call this one Where Have You Been Part Two, but I figured nobody would care enough. In part one, I discussed my mental health struggles these past few months and what I’ve been trying to do to combat the beast. I had every intention to write more often, but life happens.

I immediately took some over-the-counter pain meds to quiet my headache. I quickly showered and lay down to “rest my eyes.” I have experience with tension headaches, so it will come to pass. I don’t remember when I went to sleep, but I woke up sore and achy in the middle of the night. It felt like thirty toddlers were jumping on me; changing sleeping positions and getting comfortable was challenging because I was in so much pain.
Thank goodness I work remotely. I worked from my bed as a safety precaution. After an hour of work, I took another test, which came up positive. I wanted to scream. Since that positive test, the next…
