I've got a headache.

The sheer pain isn't so bad, but it's a weird-featured headache. I just had to take the fluorescent yellow and pink post-it notes off the edge of my monitor, because they were hurting my eyes so badly. I'm dizzy and nauseated. And the floor in the hallway, which is special non-skid stuff with a pattern of raised circles, made it impossible for me to focus my eyes.

If I were a person who got migraines, I would think this was a migraine... except that the pain qua pain is bearable, and I've been led to understand that migraine pain is more along the lines of being stabbed with an icepick.

I want to go home, but I don't think I'm up for taking the bus. I left messages for Michael about a half hour ago, asking him to come get me... oh, good. I just called again and he was home. He's on his way.

Then I'm going to crawl into bed and never come out again.

Ocular migraines. I get 'em, without any pain at all, and my ophtalmologist says they're nothing to worry about and not precursors to the full-blown head-splitting kind. They're pretty common, especially among women. Some people never have more than one. Some people have them frequently.

They're weird and annoying as all get out (especially if I have to look at the computer), but mine never last longer than about 20 minutes. I tend to get them when I'm underfed and/or dehydrated.

Silly brain tricks. Hope yours vanishes soon, rivka.
