It's gonna be a late one

[auntiemeesh]

I had a killer headache all afternoon. A two hour nap didn't even touch it, four advil didn't touch it. So I broke out the big guns. At nine o'clock at night, I made a pot of coffee, ate two spoonfuls of peanut butter and had two handfuls of dark chocolate chips. Two hours later the headache is finally gone. I'm wide awake and suspect I will remain so for a good long while, but I'm not in pain, so I think this counts as a win.

In other news, the Pens beat Montreal 3-1 and I caught probably half the game in between wanting to die from headache. Also, I finished season three of Castle. I was thinking I'd probably wait awhile before getting season four, but after the cliffhanger ending, I want to watch the next season right away. I'm going to attempt to assert discipline with my finances. We'll see how long that lasts.

The Steelers are in the midst of blowing a 15-0 lead to the Bengals in the fourth quarter. I'm not watching the game, because I hate football and football culture, but I live in a football mad city and it's a Wild Card game, so I feel like I need to at least be informed. I'm curious to see if they pull it out or complete the choke. Update: And the Steelers pulled it out with seconds to spare. I'm impressed.

Roethlisberger is out; he got pile-driven into the turf on a sack a few plays ago.

Ouch! That sucks.

I know all about killer headaches, and I'm sorry you have to go through that.

Thanks. Luckily, I've almost never had one that I couldn't get rid of in the end. When friends start talking about the migraines that have landed them in the ER because they were so severe, I count my blessings.

Headaches are no fun! My go to last ditch cure is Chinese food and a Pepsi. Sometimes, needs must.

That sounds good too. Probably serves much the same purpose; caffeine, sugars, and oils. It does the job, even if it's not the healthiest snack sometimes.

So sorry about the headache. I'm glad you were able to get rid of it, and I hope you managed a little bit of sleep as well.

By dint of staying up until sometime around 3:30 or so, I did end up getting a decent amount of sleep. Thank goodness it was on Saturday afternoon, not Sunday!

And thanks to you, I now know what happened in the Steelers game- in case I should have to make sports-related small talk in the coming week or so! You are an invaluable resource for me.

I hope the knowledge has served you well. I did have one parent so far ask me if I'd watched the game. At first I was like, yeah I was really happy that the Pens managed a good win, but realized what she was talking about in time to not look like an idiot, lol.
