just dance

Hardly slept last night, and now I have a pounding headache that I know is only gonna get worse 'till I actually go to sleep. I even tried melatonin, to no avail.

Basically....ugggghhhhhh. I feel horrible. I don't want to get up and do anything, much less the things I need to do :/

I read a nice happy-ending-ey big bang from one of my favorite authors, but it only made me feel marginally better. Even cafe_de_labeill's fantastic artwork was unhelpful.

I was fine this morning; before it all hit me this afternoon, I was up at 830ish, me and mum watched four or five episodes of WC that she needed to catch up on. She's still in S2, but I think we can get her caught up before S3 starts again. We just chilled since the boys were gone and it was just me and her, and that was nice. But then the ickyness just hit me. And now the headache is throbbing in time with my pulse and I think my vision might be jittery. Ugh. At what point do these things cross over into migraine territory? The worst part is this is nothing compared to what I've had before, but I still feel like crap.

I hate being miserable this time of year. I'm grumpy and I don't want to talk to anyone IRL and I just want to curl up and lie still because that helps with the headache. But I can't because a) I need to do stuff, and b) that doesn't actually help; the only thing that helps is actually sleeping.

The only thing other than the bonding time me and mum had that's made me really happy in the past 24 hours is the fact that I painted my nails alternating red, blue and yellow. Not the right colors for the season, but I don't have green, so artistic primaries it was. It's ridic but it makes me feel better when I look at them, so thank God for simple pleasures and my ability to accept them.

Feel free to ignore this post, unless you have advice for handling headaches/migranes or want to commiserate(I like that word, apparently? Used it twice in the past couple of days. Word nerd alert!).
