Migraines

I have migraines, or so says my doctor.  Usually I'm able to stave them off with good food, less stress and adequate amounts of sleep.

HOwever, since returning to Olympia--it's only been 48 hours!!--I've had two.  When they hit me on campus, I can usually remedy them with greasy pizza and a Dr Pepper.  Today that method did not work, and I had to resort to medication.

The pills are supposed to be 'rescue medication' which means I take it as soon as I detect the migraine.  I had already done the pizza and soda, and I need to be minimally grouchy  during my work shift, so I resorted to the pill.  Maybe it would have worked if I had taken it at noon, when the pains began.  Now I have a migraine and I feel nauseous.  Luckily if I'm entertained and engaged in an activity, I don't notice the need to crouch over a toilet bowl.  But as I'm currently sitting in an uncomfortable chair on display at the Information Desk, I'm not.

I just want to go home and go to sleep.  :(
