listersgirlI have a headache.
I don't like taking medication when I get headaches. This is not for any good reason other than stubbornness. Mostly it's that I feel like the headache is winning if I let it annoy me enough that I actually do something about it. But this headache is in a new and exciting place, providing new and exciting pain, and has been here since I got up this morning, so I broke down and took pills.
Which did nothing.
And when I move my head it feels like my brain is sloshing around inside. Also like my neck is tiny and will break like the stem of a flower.

My parents have far more exciting lives than I do. Isn't that sad? They're out almost every night of the week, at choir, Scrabble, book club, games night, playing bridge or pinochle, going to the opera or plays, having dinner with friends. And they both still work full-time, so I can't even use that excuse.
Every Sunday when I talk to them I am embarrassed by the fact that they have many more social events and activities to relate than I do. You can hear the sympathy coming down the line when my mother asks me what I did on the weekend and I have to admit that I barely even left the house. I have got to get a better social life. Or at least start making shit up.

I am craving apple crumble. In a big way. So it's probably a good thing that my oven doesn't really heat up properly.

Date: 2006-10-23 07:18 pm (UTC)Pinochle is definitely not for our age group
Date: 2006-10-23 07:34 pm (UTC)Definitely start making stuff up! Here are some suggestions:
Monday: wilderness safari; fought off pack of lionesses unarmed!
Tuesday: extra on movie set, plucked for leading role! watch for you in the next Tobey Maguire, Joey Cruise, wait, who is that, is that Christian Bale?, oh whoever, vehicle!
Wednesday: fetish night; trotted out new latex catsuit (photos to follow by email)!
Thursday: Must-See TV!
Friday: horseback riding in farm country with Fabio-esque slave from fetish night!
Saturday: rollerblade derby (you're the team captain)!
Sunday: facial, sauna, massage, pedicure, etc.!

And it's possible that all my strenuous doing of nothing on the weekend has contributed to back misalignment. Maybe I'll try to stretch myself out tonight.

Date: 2006-10-23 11:21 pm (UTC)And you were social this weekend! You had coffee with friends! And an outing!
That's it, we are going to have some kind of weekly social THING. Maybe we will learn to play pinochle!
