what?

so today i made a big mistake. i drank a triple shot expresso pumpkin spice late and ate a maple donut for breakfast. and i waited until before 12 to eat part of a sandwich, not a good idea with someone who gets migraines. i started feeling nautious and uneasy. i had to cancel my lunch date with a friend to go home and try and make myself better. well, hapy to say i didn't get a headache, just had to relax, sleep a little between the rides on the bus, and have a nice bath. i'm all better, but i shouldnt do too much still.

other than that.... my leg hurting was a pinched nerve in my lower back. thats gone, thank the chiropractor.

feeling good other than that.
