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.

Yes, like everyone else says, that could well be a migraine. That's a lot like what mine are usually like. Napping is good. I've found that plain aspirin actually works best if there's not a ton of pain, but of course you're probably totally different on that. Oh, and if you feel more overwhelmed than you otherwise might, that could be physical too; I often get depression with visual symptoms.

Poor thing, headaches are never any good, and migraines are awful.
