Yesterday I fought two rounds with a nasty headache. It whipped me the first round, but I got the drop on it in the second round, so we're tied 1 to 1.
The first round took place during the first half of the day. Carrie is feeling sicky, so she only worked at work for a couple of hours and then brought work home. Some lady bought tons and tonnes of beads and wanted 30 bracelets made out of them. And it was a rush job. So Carrie luckily was able to sit on the couch in pajama pants and watch TV while making bracelets all (mostly) day. It's nice to work from home!
The headache came on so slowly that I didn't even really notice it until it was too late. I was the proverbial frog in the proverbial pot of slowly boiling proverbial water. I took a couple of Tylenol and tried to let them take effect, but I mostly got my ass kicked around like a ragdoll for a couple of hours.
In the early afternoon, and despite the headache, I went to the Fred Meyer bank to swap some moneys to my bank account, on account of my bank account is how we pay bills.
Carrie did have to go back to work at the store for a little bit in the later afternoon. And for the first time in quite a long, long time I was unable to keep my eyes open during daylight hours, and fell a-sleepy on the couch until Carrie returned.
I made pizzas for din-dins (by which I mean I unpackaged the pre-made pizzas and put them in the oven), and didn't really do much of anything in the evening. Kinda dinked around teh intarweb and flipped around channels. I put some dishes in the sink to soak, and then the headache came back for round 2.
This time I was ready, though, and immediately took some Tylenol and then lay down on the bed until it went away. It didn't take very much time at all, compared to the severity of the hurt. Take that, headache! I bashed your brains in! Tombstone piledriver!
After the headache retreated to its corner to have its wounds tended to, I washed the dishes. Umm... not exactly a good reward, I guess.
