Happy Thursday, sweet things! I hope that your week has been spectacular so far. I’m just happy to be feeling human again. I had the most awful tension headache yesterday, which left me in crippling pain for hours. It started as a dull, groggy feeling behind my eyes as I rode the bus to work yesterday. By three o’clock, my head was throbbing. It felt as though a giant was pressing my skull between his palms. I truly expected to feel my brain dribbling out through my ears. The bus ride home was highly unpleasant. I had to focus all my energy on not throwing up, a task that was made infinitely more difficult by the woman with revolting breath who plonked herself next to me. When I arrived home, all I could muster the enthusiasm for was crawling into my PJs and slumping onto the couch. The rest of the night was spent watching Dr Who and Arrested Development while the room span dizzily around me. Thankfully, I have a gorgeous housemate who brought me home a smorgasbord of headache pills. I’ve tried so many different things to deal with my tension headaches, and last night I finally found a pill that worked.

 

 

This morning I woke up with no pain, which is the thing I’m loving most this Thursday.
