Headache

(I wrote this on Saturday. I’m fine now… But this is my brain on headache, presented unedited. Don’t try this at home.)

So my head. It hurts. I took some thingy thing for it, but it still hurts, though now it feels more squashy and flobbledy than it did before, and less like a nasty old troll is smacking the back of my skull in with a rusty-nail-spiked board, so I guess that’s an improvement.

Also, “In the Night Garden” is starting to make sense. There’s something very wrong with me.

I’ve been screwing up words all day. I told Ike to put his underwear in the garbage when I meant the laundry, and I keep saying stuff like “put the thing in the other thing, and let’s get to the place so we can do the other whatever. Thing.”

Thank God they’re not usually like this. I get a lot of headaches, but I can usually function fairly normally.

I think it’s actually melting. I’m just going to lie down and be very still so my brain doesn’t flow all over my pillow and make it smell all brainy. That’s probably gross.

Probably best if I don’t try to do any writing until this gets more normal…

You’re headache is heading my way. Maybe it’s some sort of brain virus that is attempting to make people more thing, er stupid.

  I’m sorry! If it’s any consolation, it seems to be just a 3 day thing: one day of muddled, one day of pain and stupid, and one day of exhaustion.

Ugh. Sorry you had that headache. Maybe this will cheer you up. I had a dream I shopped in Rossy. Oh yes, the Drunken Floozie set was there, but what I was really interested in was picking up a Rainbow Brite rip-off cross-stitch. I think I was buying it for you. I laughed pretty hard when I woke up. Thanks for inspiring dreams. 😉

  Best comment EVER.
  
  I read this while I was out for a walk with Jack and started laughing like an idiot on the side of the road. Even the dog looked at me like I was nuts! XD
  
  Thank you!

[…] dog, stuff I see on my walks, links to things that make me laugh. Nonsensical babbling from my pained brain, and posts sharing the wonders of Newfoundland (or the funny bits- we have a lot of those!). In […]
