I’m not sure why, but I’ve had a headache almost all day.  I’m not a doctor, but if I had to guess why, I’d say it’s because I learned too much today and my brain is expanding inside my skull.  That, or I accidentally swallowed a fly, it flew up into my head, and layed eggs there.

Despite my head pounding all day, I’ve refused to take any drugs.  I know it makes no sense, but I don’t like to rely on medication unless I absolutely need it.  It goes back to this pride thing I have, and that real men don’t need medicine… (try telling that to someone about to go into surgery).  Really there’s no logical reason that I don’t take Advil or Tylenol, but then again if I made all of my decisions based on logic, I’d never have children.  (If you think about it, they are a bad ROI.  Some studies say it can cost as much as $1 million dollars to raise a child in these times.  Unless they’re making millions of dollars by the time they turn 25, it’s really not worth it, because let’s be honest, life is over after 50 anyway…. Just kidding mom.)

My medicine for a headache is to first try to ignore it.  Which is, of course, impossible because the only thing you think about when you have a headache is that you have a headache.  That, and the fact that EVERYONE in the entire world’s sole purpose seems to be to try to annoy you at that exact moment in time.  Seriously, stop with all that “breathing.”  And I’ll be damned if that stupid grass isn’t growing loud on purpose…

My second medication is to just go to sleep.  That solves a lot of things (fever, cold, deprivation goggles…).  So that’s what I’m going to do now.  Holla.
