urgh.  (drummers drumming)

migraines, they suck.

i didn't think it was a migraine; i thought it was just, i can't stay chez [livejournal.com profile] datlowen and [livejournal.com profile] jgesteve without getting all kinds of dehydrated.  i bought a bottle of water last night specifically because i was going to get dried out!  and then when i woke up this morning i was parched eight ways to sunday, and i took a long shower because sometimes the steam helps my sinuses in ways that drinking water can't, and i realized i was also starving, so i ordered a pizza and made some soup (memo to self:  get the boys some groceries), and turned down the heat and then, hell, i opened the window for five minutes, and i wet a paper towel and put it in the freezer and after five minutes i put it on my forehead and the back of my neck, and it helped a little bit, but finally i had to just lie down and close my eyes.  and i think i dozed off for about half an hour, forty-five minutes, and when i woke up i felt -- not better, but a little less like i wanted to die.  i'd been noticing the dehydration since i got back to the US, actually.  that might be something else to put on my list.  i am evidently totally acclimated to the damper british air.

memo to self:  acquire some sort of pain reliever, and also a saline nasal spray.  and tissues.

in other news, happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] titti and [livejournal.com profile] girlfromsouth!  :-)

Advil LiquiGels are on my night stand in my room.

Not that it helps you any, but I actually am specifically trying to limit the amount of food I have in the house at any one time to remove temptation... which reminds me there's also granola bars on the top shelf of the cabinet with the soup in them.

i saw the advil on your nightstand, actually, but i didn't take them because they're almost gone. i'll get my own rather than use yours up. :-) and that's sort of my thinking grocery-wise as well; i'm not, like, planning to fill your kitchen, but having raided your cupboards i can un-raid them.

Hehe... go ahead and use the Advil, I've got a coupon for $2 off a 40ct at CVS that I was planning on using tomorrow anyway...

I'm sorry you're not feeling well, sugar. I assume this means you're not sparing tonight in the early draw? As it turns out I've got a lot of crap to cut through here, and probably won't be able to make it home for that anyway, so it's kind of moot.

there have actually not been any calls for spares, so i've had nothing to volunteer for. so i'll see you when i see you. (and i'm feeling better now than i was before; only not as well as if i'd never felt like crap.)

Har. Okay. Well, I don't intend on being here until all hours, so I'll see you this evening!
