despite all the things, I don't feel as bad as I could

yesterday I took another day off work, made pumpkin pie, granola, cheesy puff pastry thingies and went and got my covid and flu shots. no big deal, my day off! and then I got a hell of a nasty period all at once, the first in several months. then at 1:30am I was woken up by very bright headlights shining in my second story bedroom window and car door slams. I went to investigate in the cold, just someone broken down who's ride got there already and they left pretty quickly. I took aleve at this point because my shoulder was very sore despite my best efforts and I was pretty nauseous and extremely thirsty.

didn't get back to sleep for a bit. 

I did sleep in a bit to make up for the middle of the night interruption, so I wasn't super tired for most of the day, got some farm work done but now I'm very sleepy all of a sudden and heading to bed as soon as I finish eating my pie. I'm hoping I can fall asleep fast, we're getting a heck of a windstorm and maybe some rain, but we battened down the hatches and actually took one canopy fully down this afternoon. pie could be better tasting, I usually like a little more spices for flavor but it's tasty enough.

Car lights in a second floor window seems especially unfair somehow.

You've been doing a great deal; I'm not surprised you feel sore.

May circumstances permit rest!

They were the new blueish LED lights and they had their brights on, so it was extremely bright, plus I never really close my curtains on that particular window. I'm feeling much better, I've been sleeping a lot and with the time change, I can't really work that late at night, so it's been almost relaxing around here this week.
