What 2022 Looks Like

The new year welcomed me with the worst migraine I've had in months. I had looked forward to counting down to midnight and calling all my loved ones to wish them a happy new year like I've done for years but my body had other plans. I had been weak during the day yesterday and rested a whole lot hoping I'd be better before nighttime.

At about 10 pm yesterday, I slept off with the migraine still bothering me and I had bad hallucinations as I fell in and out of sleep. It was already past midnight when I woke up and I had to use the toilet. I went back to bed and seconds later, I ran back to the toilet to vomit.

It seems I got food poisoning from the food I ate earlier in the day. Since I was too weak to cook up something, we had to buy food from a nearby restaurant and my stomach wasn't pleased with it. I know because this is the second time this has happened after eating food from that place.

I felt better after throwing up and took another dose of paracetamol for the migraine even if it had been ineffective all along. I slept and woke up fully at about 9 am feeling much better and began replying to all my new year messages. I spoke to my family and a few friends over the phone and I was in a good mood.

I stayed in bed for the most part of the day watching youtube on my phone and scrolling through my phone's gallery. There were a lot of happy moments and also sad moments captured but I'm grateful I started and ended last year happy.

I also talked to my friend for a long while and it made me miss having my friends around me. All my friends are scattered all over in different cities but the one I live in and I don't know how to make new friends.

The day went by real fast and I completed a task I needed to do so I don't feel like I wasted my day in bed. I want to begin my year on a positive note, not procrastinating and doing all I set out to do daily. That's hard, considering I just ate the sweetest bread at almost 11 pm and one of my goals is to cut out eating bread excessively. What can I do? Bread is life.

My body aches all over but I'm in a good mood so it makes the pain less. I have a slight ache at the back of my head but I'll take paracetamol now and hope the ache doesn't intensify.

Apart from starting the year in pain, this looks like a good year and I'm ready to live each day purposefully. I never make new year resolutions because I don't think I would meet up with my goals but this is looking like the year that I believe myself enough to make goals and reach for them.

How's the new year at your end?
