This is the song that never ends...

Oh, it goes on and on my friends.  Someone started singing it, not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because...

Today I felt better, at least as far as the headache/migraine issue was concerned.  Still had a headache, but I think it was mostly a rebound headache.  Didn't take Imitrex today.  Didn't get dehydrated.  Good things.

And I actually did a few things.  I took my dogs for a walk in both the morning and evening.  I did my laundry and hung it on the line.  I made a vat of peppermint tea made with fresh peppermint from my mom's plant.  I wrote!  I wrote a lot and was on such a role that I had to go the bathroom and held and held it until I was ready to pee my pants because I couldn't tear myself away.

But the pain right now, in this moment, is excruciating.  I considered the ER, but my rule is as long as I can walk I don't go to the ER.  I've spent way too much time there.  I need relief and soon.  This is making me dizzy and so nauseous.  I've had some stress today and I know that doesn't help.

That's why this feels like the song that never ends.  It seems to go on and on, my friend.  Even as I recognize that it may not actually go on forever, this moment feels like an eternity.
