The spectre of yesterdays 'migraine' lingers, and unfortunately, it's worse at work, where more rigid demands are made on my environment and attention. At home, fairyhead very kindly (and likely to her detriment) kept the windows open all night so I could access the air and hear the rain in my sleep, which always helps me reorient myself. At work, however, it's windows that don't open, blinds drawn, the barely noticeable vibrations of computer monitors and the attendant hum of machines, and the regular flickering of flourescent lighting; all of these things exacerbate the situation, which is most easily dealt with by immersing myself in the "organic" (for lack of a better term).

I've come armed with pseudoeffedriene, pain reliever, water and Icy Hot (for the knot that always forms on one side of my neck, at the base of my skull). With any luck, I'll be able to make it through the day without leaving early again. Though it's stupid, I don't want to be seen as unreliable, or to have made the commute this morning in the rain in vain. What I want to do, though, is sit in some covered area, open to the air, and soak in the soft, damp feel of the world today.

don't they have sick days down south?

;)

r. gets migraines too, sometimes. they seem horrid. he shuts down immediately, is nauseous the entire day, and spends the whole next day unable to do anything productive, feeling as if he were run over by a truck.

hope you feel better.

We don't have sick days (or vacation or holidays), we have PTO: bleh.

If I don't shape up soon, I'll have to take off. I'm a zombie today, if slow and easygoing, but any flavor of zombiedom isn't really good for work.

Meh, today is fairly dreary. Spodgumene was particularly ill behaved today, while taking her to the vet, I've got random new people in the company calling me, etc., etc.

Ironically for me, moving down to the basement, where I bask under the flickering of the fluorescent light and tv screen, I feel less cranky. ;-)

You could have closed the windows, you know, but thank you.

I may be headed home in a bit if I don't pull up; I'm a zombie.

If you really loved me, you'd let me eat your brains!
