After waking up, too early 🎉the nightmares are back🎉 [sarcastic intent]
I am awake enough to share a bit more, my new medication appointment was very early, and to not get stuck in traffic I had to wake up very early. My info was –after I asked my doc beforehand– that my whole odeal would take 30min. This was also the timeframe I told my friend who went there with me 😬🫠, I sat there with needle and all in my arm for 2h, without infusion, and then I was so bored and unprepared, I started reading the paper about my appointment dates that they printed out for me, and on that printout, they said "infusion time 2h + 1h to check If I dont develop problems". Well. The whole thing (including driving time) took 5 1/2h instead of 2-3h 🫠 [AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH] and I forgot my book and was so unprepared. Less [AAAAAHHHHHHHH] for me, I dont mind waiting that much, but I felt so bad for P who took me there, who thought "this will be a quick one"
Ns birthday was lots of fun, I arrived around 14:00, L max 10min later, with ✨cake✨. A portable birthday party, we had: someone who had been born on this day a few years back, cake, presents, and more than 2 people, so thats a full blown party in my books. There was some plane event nearby, so we did a little planespotting and the weather was gorgeous, not too hot, not too cold. I did a bit of talking with Ns Mum, she is a bit confusing to me, and I dont really know what topics I should chat with her about. So if I chat with her it always feels really awkward. L me and N played Catan together, drank some Tea, chatted outside a bit. N showed us his childhood summer vacation project location, a group of trees with lots of shrubbing and a small dried out stream. But damn, such a perfect place to build something and play around.
–Sidestory: I did almost the same on my 16-17ish birthday, just that my birthday is more towards the cold season, and more deep into a forest, around a pond and lots of mud. So picture this, 3 very unprepared people with their pants wet and full of mud, with one of them really dislikeing everything, after fighting through dense foliage, just so that I can show them an very dried up pond, which was like the spot from my childhood then getting back home to my place, and then, I think it was C or Ni, said something like "This is the worst birthday party I went to in the last 3 years", This happened in my life around 10 years ago, and now there I was, on Ns birthday, walking into the unkown because N wants to show us this important place of his life, but this time (I mean honestly I only can speak for myself and not N or L, but for better flow lets continue with my headcannon) with two people who were like locked and loaded, ready for anything. It felt so scripted. It was such a blast. I wish that some day, I can find the right words to tell him how much this means to me, in a way that he understands, he probably also met a few people who treated him very badly for being different. At least I had this experience. Now the same difference is the reason why I like him so much, N is finally someone normal in my life or something :D–
I took a few more pictures, and we walked back to his place, and ate dinner together. I had an old classic: Instant chicken ramen, L had also some noodle soup, but from another brand. N had some very delicious looking chicken ragout with rice. After chatting more, I went home
I wish, I could end it here with "and then I went to bed" but sadly, no.
At home, I got a big smack into the face from my not so friend loneliness, and because of that, I called a friend to chat with her a bit. It got a bit emotional towards the end, and I realised too late that I dont really had the energy left to handle it at this time of day. Energy drain at the wrong time, just doesnt feel good.
After that was wrapped up, I sat down and ate a pice of Ns birthday cake, It was delicious, and worth my meds.
Then I went to bed, and well. The nightmares are back, second night in a row 😠☹️😐🫥
[Vent: I've dealt with them since I was 16, and in my last relationship they went away, for like the last 4-5ish years, and I thought that I've dealt with them / their underlying issues in a healthy way. But no, they are back, and I dislike them.]
