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!  :-)
