Journey through Faerieland

I thought I might be getting a migraine earlier, and I felt really sick to my stomach, but that passed and now I am wondering if I'm starting to get the flu. I just feel sick. My throat hurts and I have chills, etc. I went to a cross-cultural training session for the ESL stuff, and that went okay. Some of it was pretty interesting. Though I kept feeling like I was about to cry, and not just at the really sad parts about the refugees and immigrants and some of their experiences. Sometimes even just vaguely sad, but normal life stuff that was mentioned. Sometimes that happens. It seems as I get older I have more of an automatic trigger reaction to both sad and happy things that I hear about or observe. I don't usually respond much to a lot of very artificial fake sentimentality, at least. But even then it still just depends on the precise situation... I feel embarrassed for actors in certain scenes that feel really sentimentally overwrought and fake, so that can keep me from getting emotional, which is good. I have overall been feeling more even emotionally about my own life still, comparatively speaking.
