My lip is swelling with a cold sore - a delayed reaction to more stress than I can handle well. It's painful and causes more stress.

I managed to make dinner for my guy and me - just spagetti. But it tasted good. Eating improved my state of mind. A Vicodin eased the sore lip and soothed my mind a bit also. Something about the day coming to an end feels better. It's okay to sit in front of the TV after dark. And I had wine with the food, diluted with seltzer because I'm not a big wine drinker. So I don't feel as awful. If I can possibly get into the shower, I might improve more.
