I think the migraine is at least partly stress. So the question, I guess, is whether I will feel less stressed by next week, or more. Will the whole thing just get bigger and more embarrassing between this week and next? Probably bigger and badder, huh?

And thinking about this I realized that the only times my mom was really nice to me when I was sick. And my husband is so sweet when I am sick or really depressed that it has really left me with the feeling that he likes me BETTER depressed or sick or injured. So, I'm wondering if feeling this sick is just stress or maybe a way of deflecting attention away from my behavior last week? Trying to elicit sympathy from T instead of the shaming that I expect (even though he isn't like that all; that's what my past experiences have taught me to expect).

Anyway, you guys are right. I can get through this. Maybe. Mostly. I won't actually DIE from embarrassment, and you guys will be there with me in spirit. And there will be cake and cobbler after, right? And pbutton right outside the window. LOL.
