Though a "Diary" my online diary is a work of FICTION.

It may at times strongly reflect actual events of my life, often how I honestly perceived them and display my genuine reactions. But not always and everything contained within should be treated as a fiction.

This is also a personal diary, so by reading it you are violating my privacy. And as it is a personal diary you are not allowed to hold anything you read in it against me, as you shouldn't have been reading it anyway.

Also, this diary is not to be read by anyone who has gone out with me, would like to go out with me in the future, or suspects I may like to go out with them.

There was a wedding, I stayed awake and upright

Last Saturday I had far too long a day.

Leaving early to linger at the groom's families house and enjoy fresh croissants while managing to not get any crumbs on my hired suit.

Then hours of photographs, first at the Chinese garden and then at the venue itself.  By the time the ceremony started I was already exhausted.

The ceremony was nice enough.  The bride's family came bearing many swords.  She is from "sword guy" people - it explains a lot.

The catering at the venue was delicious.  Glenfalloch does ok.

I was out of the house about 14 hours.


The next day I should have stayed in bed, but I stupidly went to the post-wedding BBQ instead.


So come Monday my body was in utter revolt.  Even sitting up was painful, nausea inducing and tiring.  I didn't make it out of the house until Wednesday for a simple errand to brain pokery (a cynical questionnaire clearly designed by ACC to shift blame onto parents so it can deny coverage, which we only got a fraction of the way through in the session) and then left me exhausted again.


So now after a week of my body failing me entirely I have entered the no longer taking gabapentin at all phase of the weaning off process.  The next couple of weeks could get fairly unpleasant.
