September 17 update.
Yesterday morning was pretty rough. I deal with both RSI from a previous job and regular acid reflux, so mornings often are. I've been experimenting with adjusting my sleeping posture to help with that.
But yeah, whew, the pain was rough. It's hard for me to avoid getting snippy and high-strung when I feel that way. My partner is patient and sympathetic, which helps a lot, but I still would like to be less grouchy when I'm feeling bad.
I tried to eat relatively bland foods and cut a lot of soda out. It seemed to help; today is much better so far. Hoping I can make the rest of the day good as well. We're both adjusting our diets here, but Tuesday is our weekly take-out day so I'm looking forward to getting a nice chimichanga or something.
Been having trouble with the gaming rig again. It's had some type of CMOS issue or something like that, and occasionally takes minutes to boot, but will also silently revert settings back to default. So occasionally it's like oh, the RAM's set to 2133 again. Cool. Won't be touching pre-builts again; not that that's somehow guaranteed to happen with them, just that I'd like to be the one responsible for any blunders.
