Aches and pains

[clevermanka]

I got another bad headache/sorta migraine yesterday. I left work around noon-ish. My right eye was throbbing all the way back to my neckbones, with a ray of Pure Hate that brushed my top molars and made them ache so bad that they're still a little tender. I took a two-hour nap, which relieved it to the point where I was mildly functional, if slow. This morning the pain-path is still slightly sore, but not overwhelmingly so. I think it was the weather change, coupled with my period, which finally started today, after nearly a week of false threats.

Here's hoping the headache doesn't come back, and this is a light period. I've got this to look forward to over the weekend and I don't want to be crampy and full of migraine badness. I've already bought two types of earplugs to avoid zill-headache issues.

I'm glad that roya_spirit is driving. I think I would've had to cancel my plans if there was the possibility of me being stuck at the side of the road with a headache on the way there or back. Yesterday I couldn't even walk from work, and had to get a ride home. Yuck.

Speaking of aches, but of a different sort, please take a moment to read Coilhouse's essay on the passing of Prop 8 in California. It's heartbreaking that this passed, by such a staggering margin, with minorities contributing strongly to the vote. But Mer posts a beautiful essay of hope and love. Go read it. Thank you to Coilhouse for the reminder of this:

First they ignore you,
then they laugh at you,
then they fight you,
then you win.

I'm getting to this late, but I hope the day has been kind to you.

Thanks! It hasn't been too bad. I'm getting a LOT done. Thanks to COFFEE and TOO MUCH OF IT.

I am the poster child for Too Much Coffee today.

But oh!

I love it!

I do hope you're feeling better, too, because taking my car doesn't always equal Me Doing All the Driving.
Especially since I haven't driven over 100 mi at one time since the Great Back Injury.

I had a wretched headache yesterday too. I get migraines A LOT, like two or three a month, and they suck... you just want to curl up and die.

I hope you feel better soon. That looks like an awesome workshop and you need to be in fine fettle to enjoy it. Recently seen refrigerator magnet: "Drink More Coffee! Do stupid things faster!"

=D

That's fine. I just didn't want to drive it ALONE. Driving an unfamiliar car kind of freaks me out at first, though, so we won't be exactly zooming along the highway.

HA! I do pretty good on too much coffee. What with my depressed metabolism, I think it makes me feel like I have a normal person's energy.

Yuck. I'd be really unhappy if I got more than a few of these a year. Bleah.
