Fluff, Dreck, and Flotsam

Gleh. Yesterday starting at around 3:00 in the afternoon, I had tension creeping up my shoulders - headed for my brains. By 5:00 I had a pounding headache, so I drugged myself in attempt to feel better in time for Fighter Practice. By 7:00 it became apparent that doing anything other than laying down in a warm, dark room was out of the question.

So the only Thing I have to report from yesterday was gathering my tax documents together, scanning them and emailing them off to my accountant.

While it was an Important Thing, it feels not right. It didn't involve string... But the money that comes back will allow me to buy MORE STRING! So. I guess that's OK.

I went to bed for the night at 8:00 PM and woke up this morning at the normal time feeling hung-over. At least I wasn't awake to enjoy the migrane, but I didn't even have a chance to tidy up the house before I passed out. Hopefully today I'll feel good enough to finish a proper Thing and get some tidying done.

My brains are clear. My sinuses are relatively clear. My head doesn't hurt, but I think that's the ONLY part of me that doesn't hurt today.

I woke up this morning feeling a touch on the stiff side - like I'd done strenuous exercise all day yesterday (and Lord knows that's not the case....). Stiffness has progressed to a full body tenderness. Every muscle I have, particularly in my neck/shoulders region, is COMPLAINING.

I emailed Zig to come get me as soon as he wakes up. I will take a 1/2 sick day today, and maybe tomorrow too. Yuck. (With any luck, my energy will last long enough for us to sneak off to the Post Office during business hours to get passports. We want to go to Paris over the Holidays this year.)

In the mean time, I'm going to take two asprin and try not to breathe on any of my colleagues.
