Twist

Hypertonia is making my left hand and foot seize up. Currently I could not manage fine motor control if my life depended on it. I can flail my left hand on the keyboard, though, and my index finger can hit keys, so that is something. I can write. My hand keeps curling up, my thumb tucked under and peeking out between the ring and pinky fingers, as this is automatically comforting. It is also a variation of the fig sign, apparently; who knew?
I am limping so severely that I have brought my cane out. It is the pretty cane that Adam bought me, with an LCD flashlight on the top.
My left eye and mouth muscles keep twitching. This is extremely annoying.
I am somewhat anticipating simple partial seizures today, since they tend to occur on days when the cerebral palsy is being a bitch.
Sooner or later, this will all lead to a massive fibromyalgia flare.

And, no, I am not making a self-fulfilling prophecy. This is just What Happens.
(Can you tell I am bitter toward people who try to insist that I ignore my symptoms and Do Things anyway? Doing Things will make it all worse. Best thing I can do is Rest and Take It Easy for a few hours. Someone once told me that if I anticipate symptoms, that will always make them happen, and I should never anticipate. I'm still not sure how to take that. It feels slightly insulting.)

In any case, my goji juice is delicious, and I am watching "Clash Of The Gods" on the History Channel (they're discussing Zeus).

Yes, yes, another grammar post.

I would like to print this out, attach it to plywood, and beat it over the heads of anyone who intentionally uses phrases like "My friend and I's party" or "Give it to my friend and I" or any other form of ridiculous hypercorrection.
I realize that the biggest excuse is probably, "Well, I never learned it in school!" However, education doesn't end in a classroom. Also, the second biggest excuse is probably, "Nobody taught me!" I don't have anything to say to that. (Third excuse is, "Well, I'm lazy and you suck.")
I also realize that people reading this will tell me I'm being a snob, I need to lighten up, and "Nobody cares about writing or speaking well now, what with text messaging, shorthand netspeak, Facebook, and Twitter taking over our lives. Besides, people talk like that all the time now, so you suck!"
That's okay. I just like the website. And no, not everyone speaks or writes like that.

Shh

Sleep will come soon. *rubs face* I am tired but not ready for sleep.
Bane and Red arrived late this afternoon, and we have been sitting around catching up, watching paranormal investigation programs on the Travel Channel. Tomorrow we will go grocery shopping, and Red will cook, because she expressed a keen desire, and I am not a great cook.
I have been having crazy nightmares lately. Mostly involving serial killers and psionic characters, living haunted houses and intelligent animals.
Adam is in Quebec, but his work visa expires on Sunday. The actual job begins on Monday. Hopefully, he can work around that with his boss's help.
My cats have made Bane and Red beloved. It is adorable.
I may have had a few simple partials throughout the day; sometimes it is hard to tell. I certainly did have a fibro flare. Yargh.
