I got my dissertation back... B+!!! YAY!! I also got two Bs on my last two papers. So, I got Bs in every class I took and on my dissertation. Well done ME!

I spent Sunday in Hammersmith with E, singing the Faure Requiem with his church's choir. I hadn't sung it in over 12 years but it came back to me quickly after the rehearsal. We had a quick Chinese buffet dinner and then a performance for Remembrance Sunday. It was nice to be gone from Essex and the house. I'd started out the day by planning on going to Dover and maybe leaving the country. I sent E a text and he told me to come spend the day with him. That helped and I turned around.

Still frustrated at work and giving serious thought to going home. Part of me wants to just curl up and spend the next month in bed and part of me wants to go in every day fighting to make things work. I do miss home...my family, my friends, my hometown, my extended church family, my dog. Maybe it will get easier. I just don't know right now.

Had a horrible migraine yesterday and nearly puked in the car on the way home. I literally was holding it back, feeling the acid creep up, driving up the chase as fast as I could before I lost it all over myself. Not fun. I got in the bathtub and then laid down for several hours. Meds helped a bit and after about 5 hours in bed, I got up, showered and then ate something. I felt like crap all night but today it was gone. I think the stress of work is getting to me. I feel very unhealthy right now, mentally and physically. Mostly, I want to lay in bed.
