okay, so i came to my senses and realized that after the Summer of Spending, there was no way i could justify buying $115 concert tickets to see rem, even if they are playing in my favourite “big” venue. i mean, really… they’re no great big sea, afterall.
yesterday morning, i woke up with a pre-migraine. i thought i could fight through it, so i had my shower, brushed my teeth, got dressed, swallowed a handful of extra-strength tylenol, emailed my boss to tell him i wouldn’t be coming into work, got undressed, went back to bed, put a towel over my eyes and slept until eleven o’clock. i still wasn’t 100%, so i took another handful of tylenol, drank a mug of tea, made a pot of soup and watched three days worth of starting over. by the time i was scheduled to go to the thursday night financial seminar, i was feeling both better and on my way to worse again.
i’m fairly sure the tension headaches i’ve been experiencing for the past week or so could be cured with some massage therapy for my neck and shoulders. i’ve been noticing that i’m holding a lot of stress there. it almost feels as if my head is sinking into my shoulders, like a turtle retracting into its shell. it’s not a very fun feeling. someone make me a massage appointment and i’ll go. it’s just the picking a place and making the call that i’m putting off. work even pays for it, so that’s not even a reason to linger. i guess i must enjoy the discomfort. why else would i let myself suffer?
btw, i’ll have some free time in victoria next saturday if anyone wants to buy me lunch or a latte.
I used to have chronic headahes a few years ago – even went to a neurologist; had an MRI. The only thing that helped me was visiting a chiropractor. Give it a try!!! ;)
Silly… I would assume that watching Starting Over would have the opposite effect. I think watching three day’s worth would give me a weird twitch.
i’ll buy you a coffee in vancouver.
My massage therapist is amazing…but he’s in Kerrisdale. I guess that’d be a good excuse for you to come visit, though ;)
