I woke up this morning with a splitting headache. I was also very thirsty, so I thought hmmmm, dehydration? But usually if I’m dehydrated enough to get a headache for it, my body has already given up on my giving it fluids and turns off the thirst switch.

The good news was that Nate was there to immediately distract me from the headache business. It wasn’t long after that it came back, though. And even shopping didn’t help. Shopping helps everything, doesn’t it? Wait. Maybe not. And then when we got back to his apartment, I not only still had a headache, but then I had a guilty conscience and I wanted to barf. Awesome. So I took some naproxen and it didn’t really help at all. And we had lunch, which only helped a little. After some more distraction and napping it was mostly gone, but now it’s back again, though only on one side now.

I wonder if it’s a tension headache from doing crazy things with my shoulders like sleeping on them. That happened a while back. I’ll give it a few days. Then I will get Dr Lauer to do that hurty thing that makes the headache go away. Ohhh, it hurts so good. He pushes on some weird pressure point and then I cry and go home and ice my shoulder and then I don’t have a headache anymore.

My arm got numb and tingly on the way home tonight and I had to tell myself that I am too young to have a stroke, even if the headache is on the opposite side. See, I know I’m a hypochondriac, but at least I’ve been hypochondriac-ing for long enough that I can (usually) talk myself out of it.

I should go to bed, since it is ten thirty and Sunday. Bleh. I just don’t want to go. At least I work 4 9’s and a 4 this week. For some reason, that seems easier that 4 10’s.

And then when this week is done, it is next week, and that week is Week Of Birthday. Hallelujah. I am fucking tired of being 24. 25 is bound to be better. The odd ages always are. Also it’s such a neat looking number. It’s all divisible by 5 and stuff.

Hey, I just looked at my schedule and it looks like I have a Friday off in April. That’s pretty awesome. 4 days in a row will probably suck, but I’ll totally take it for a 3-day weekend.

Okay. Really going to bed now.
