Thought I was dead, didn't you?

Apologies, dear reader, for my extended blogging hiatus.

The past few days have been most unpleasant.

On top of my usual dry-eye problem, my body has assaulted me with a number of new ailments. Since I landed back in LA last Monday, I have been unable to get a full night's rest. Every morning I wake up at 3am, unable to return to my peaceful slumber. I haven't had REM sleep in over a week. At first I thought it was jetlag, but I'm beginning to think I might have sleep apnea.

Saturday I strained my back and broke out all over, becoming the new poster child for adult acne.

Sunday and Monday my problems worsened when I noticed that my heart was beating incredibly strong, shaking my body with each ventricular pump. Add to that an uncomfortably dry mouth, stomach ache, and burning esophagus and you have one cranky, exhausted giant.

Blogging was trumped by more productive activities like laying on the couch and whining. I seriously felt like I was going to have a heart attack or worse.

Today I feasted on a lunch of Tums and water, which seems to be alleviating my over-acidic stomach ever-so-slightly.

In more exciting news, Eugene went on a date yesterday...with a man.
