It�s 3:46 a.m. I have The World�s Worst Headache � Only, it�s not the worst. But it is. But I can function more than with my last migraine. But I can�t move, so it�s worse� Anyway, I was in bed (having gone to bed with this thing) and it woke me up three times. On the second time, I got up and took two Tylenol 3s (having taking some earlier this evening, I wasn�t holding my breath). On this third time waking, I realized my head throbs horribly if I�m laying down, but is tolerable if I�m sitting up. I can�t sleep well sitting up, so I thought I�d have a cuppa tea, as I know caffeine, while ruining my ability to sleep (which I don�t have tonight anyway) does have pain relieving qualities.

However, I�m not sure this is a migraine, as I originally thought. You see, with my last one, eating was out of the question. But, I just ate some oatmeal (I thought hunger might be adding to the issue, and T3s make me sick to my stomach, and I wanted to counter that � throwing up now would hurt lots, I think.) and usually light is a big no-no, but it�s not bugging me at all � as you can tell by my ability to write this entry without added pain. Moving. That�s the big pain right there. If I move, my head throbs. While laying down, it seemed to throb just from breathing too hard. Sitting up and keeping my head still = much better.

Speaking of aches and pains, my ears are beyond the clinic doctor. He said that if the medications he�s given me the past two times did nothing to drain them, then I may need tubes in my ears. I read up on it, and it looks like the relief from ear aches and pressure-related problems are instant, and they don�t need to knock you out to insert them. The dr. put in a referral to an ear, nose and throat specialist, and it could take a month for me to even get my first appointment for assessment, but that�s okay. I�ve had this forever now, one more month is do-able.

So, what did everyone do this weekend? Me? I got my eyebrows waxed on Friday. Not into a thin line which some ladies seem to like, but just shaped nicely. And yes, it hurts like hell, but I�m vain that way =) Then I came home and played computer games rather than studying. Saturday morning I went to the clinic for my ears, went shopping, then went to the cheap theatre (the smaller big screen) to see A Lot Like Love, which I enjoyed. I think if I had of gone to the bigger big screen and paid $8.50 to see it, I wouldn�t have enjoyed it so much, but the cheap theatre is so called because it�s only $4.25 a movie, and popcorn and pop is $3.50. It�s a steal of a deal. Saturday night I played on my computer instead of studying. Sunday morning, I went for a 6.5 mile (11 kilometre) run, then took a nap, then went for a walk to the grocery store, then studied a bit but started to get a headache, so found that hard, then called my mom and complained about my head, then went to bed, woke up, slept, woke up, slept, woke up, and am now writing this. Good times.

Well, I�m going to go sit in my bed and annoy my cat so he�s not sleeping either. As he keeps me up most nights, seem to me that it�s my time to annoy him.
