Migraines, apparently. On the annual drive down to Winona today, my vision filled with an aura and I had to pull over for a half hour to let it pass. I took some Excedrine and it seems like I may have avoided a full on headache, but I’ve been super sensitive to EVERYTHING since then. It fucking sucks.

For example, right now I’m sitting down by the music, which is good, but my head kind of hurts, I can smell cigarette smoke even though the smoking section is pretty far away, the guy sitting next to me is apparently eating seeds because all I keep hearing is SNAP … spit. The lights from over at one of the food tents is entirely too bright and I can smell diesel behind all of it. The diesel exhaust is increasing my headache. Dak can’t even smell it.

I’m sure this is all due to the migraine. I’m never this sensitive to everything. I don’t even know why I can hear the guy next to me, but I can hear every bag crinkle and snap. There’s loud music and that’s still there.

I am really disappointed by how sensitive I am to everything right now, because it’s making it difficult to enjoy the night and I’m trying not to complain because I know it’s just me. The lights, noise, and smells are normal for B&B, so I know its just me not feeling normal. I’m sad. I’m considering just turning in even though I really want to see the next band (The Last Revel), I don’t know if I’ll make it though. Oof.

Here’s the beginning of their set. We’ll see how long I can take the lights and smells and noise.
