I tried to get a good night's sleep. I really, really tried. I failed, but damn it, I sure gave it a good effort! I shut off screens with an hour before bed and did relaxy wind-down activities. I drank a nighttime sleep tea blend. I even put on binaural beats for Restful Sleep Cycles.

...and then at 2am my guts decided to throw an ENORMOUS shit-fit for reasons undetermined.

Felt like I was simultaneously gonna throw up, wet and/or shit myself, and maybe get a period all at once. Erratic stabby pains from the bottom of my sternum all the way down. Felt like heartburn and impending menstruation and nausea and a case of the flaming shits all at once.

I didn't throw up. Drinking a half-shot of my huckleberry balsamic vinegar seemed to soothe some of the upper-end distress, so heartburn was probably happening. Went to the bathroom but nothing much happened, certainly nothing that would explain the awfulness occurring on my insides. I ruled out actual period on the basis of it not being remotely close to Time For That. Ended up wallowing in misery on the couch for a few hours until it settled down a bit. Farted a few times and that seemed to... relieve things... a little more, so gas was probably ALSO a part of the overall puzzle. Managed to go back to bed and sleep some more eventually, but it was really Not Enough.

I woke up feeling reasonably good, but then as soon as I ate today I got more heartburn. So IDK what's up with me. I don't usually get severe OR frequent heartburn attacks.

Nutshell version of the cut: meatsuit's glitchin' and I dunno why or how to make it stop, and it is Annoying.

And I did not get the good sleep I desperately needed and made every reasonable effort to attain. Am now even MORE tired than I was yesterday.

At least I have tomorrow and Monday off from work. This week has sucked so much between work-schedule madness and Tumblr Exodus stuff and just. All my routines have been thrown completely off-kilter, so maybe it's just stress making my guts act up. Doesn't seem to be anything actually medically disastrous at least.
