Day Seven

A week already! It doesn't seem that many days since I started taking Concerta, nor does it seem a week since my lovely foster cat went back to "her family" - I still catch myself expecting her to come charging round the corner in search of food, or sitting on the door mat waiting for me to come home. Ah well... at least I know she's happy back where she grew up, a much quieter place with far less traffic – and a lot of mice to take care of, or so I've heard!

Again overslept after being woken just after 7am by a rogue phone call from the Continent. Had forgotten to turn up my mobile phone, which is my reminder of umpteen things and appointments every day. Don't know what I did before these handy wee things came into existence – certainly remember missing lots of appointments and dates, that's for sure!

I got caught up in intense work, getting my head together for a wee Gaelic exam in a week's time. I was under quite a bit of time pressure and found as I went into the garden mid-afternoon that I had a fairly bad headache. I think it was dehydration, though.
(Would hate those stress headaches to return that I used to suffer from in my mid-twenties to mid-thirties!)
I did manage to tick off about five things on my 15-item list of things to do by tomorrow evening and thoroughly enjoyed my weekly Tai chi class. Way to go!

Blue Moon night. A very chilly night after a wonderfully warm and dry late-summer's day with lots of sunshine. But also a day on which I again felt really "wired" for much of the time.


PS added the next morning, 31Aug2012:
As I was falling asleep last night, I had the weirdest visual experience ever. Let me see if I can describe this...
Irregularly-shaped, clearly outlined small fragments of bright blue, a clear lapislazuli blue, the purest blue you can imagine, were moving across my retina, like a very slow, chaotic ballet. Beautiful – if a bit spooky.
I've experienced colour visions before, in deep healing or Shakra meditation for example, but usually see the colours of the rainbow, fading gently into and out of darkness, or each other. On some occasions they would change from purple to blue to green, yellow and pure white, or from purple to red to orange, yellow and white...
