My head hurts
I rarely get headaches*, but this is the second one I’ve had in two weeks. The last was followed shortly by a weird cold that induced a week-long, hacking, phlegmy cough and made me lose my voice for two days. I’d really rather not go through that again—I should be exempt or something. Immune! That’s the word.
I took some drugs about twenty minutes ago and am waiting for them to kick in. I hope it wasn’t the kind of pill that has caffeine in it, but I can’t tell—the pills in the bottle don’t look like the picture on the outside. Nothing weird, I got the bottle from my parents. I’m sure they just refilled the Tylenol bottle with Aleve or something. Whatever it is, it’s made my headaches go away before…
In unrelated news, I just signed the FedEx door tag for my iPod, and it might just be the prettiest signature ever to flow from my pen. I want to cut it out and frame it. My best guess is that it’s the smoothness and softness of the sticker paper the signature line is on. If it would always make my handwriting that lovely, I’d write on sticker paper every day.
Now that I think about it, I think the pain is fading a little. I think** I’ll try sleeping now. Modern medicine is basically my favorite thing ever. I want to give it a hug and maybe bake it cookies. Chocolate chip, natch—only the best for my buddy modern medicine.

* Those of you who get headaches more often than once every few months probably have little sympathy for me, and that’s okay. My good head karma is balanced by other things—bad skin karma, maybe, or bad left shoulder karma.
** I used “I think” three times in one line. I bet that’s annoying.
