The typhoon passed through Tokyo at around three in the morning. It arrived with pounding wind and rain, then left behind total calm, very decisively. When I got up to use the bathroom this morning, I saw a deep blue sky outside, so I picked up my camera and took a photo. You could still see the moon hanging there.

Breakfast was rice with natto. Halfway through eating, I suddenly noticed a lot of dark shadows in my field of vision and started having trouble seeing clearly. That is usually the warning sign that a migraine is coming. After thinking it over, I grabbed my laptop and wrote to the company to say I needed to take the day off. Because my vision was already affected, I sent the first email to the wrong recipient and had to send two messages before I finally collapsed back onto the bed.

Maybe it is just that I am getting older, but my migraines have become harder and harder to bear. I went from chills to cold sweats, rushed to the bathroom twice, and threw up three times. By around noon, all of breakfast had come back up. At three in the afternoon, I felt like maybe I was finally getting over it, so I got up and looked at some code for a while. Then the dizziness returned, and I had to crawl back into bed and sleep until seven.

In a little while I am going to have to lie back down again. I am really worried about how far behind I am falling.
