I completely forgot to call my stepfather yesterday. I'll have to do it today.
I discovered that one of the sets of insurance paperwork that I need to do is going to take me a long time to complete. It's my long-term disability review from my former employer, and it's an annual PITA. I just forgot that there was quite so much that I needed to do with it. The previous managing company asked for a lot less information from me. I'm having some issues with the paperwork because I'll look at a question just stop because I can't process it.
I'm pretty sure that stress over that paperwork is why I got really lightheaded/dizzy yesterday afternoon. I had trouble standing long enough to make a sandwich. Walking is easier under those circumstances than standing still is. (Fetching something to sit on is only worthwhile if I'm going to be there for a long time. The kitchen is very narrow, so we can't keep anything there. Getting something and then putting it away after is harder than standing for the length of sandwich making.)
It finally occurred to me last night that the whole not wanting to use a pillow when lying on my back is part of getting my head on a better level relative to my heart. Lying on my side with my head tilted to rest on the bed helps the headache thing (but make my neck hurt, so... Um).
I slept really fitfully last night. I kept waking up enough to want to change position and then going back to my dreams. I really didn't want to get up this morning, and I really wanted to go back to bed after I got breakfast for Cordelia. I might still lie down for a while. Getting Cordelia to her dentist appointment at 4:00 is going to require leaving here by 3:00 because that's the only way I will have enough time to walk to the right bus, ride to central campus, and then walk from there to the dentist. I'm just moving really, really slowly now.
