SOMEONE PASS ME THE ASPIRIN ... A SLEDGE HAMMER ... ANYTHING!
I've been blessed with many things in my life ... some of these things are what I would consider actual blessings. Others, not so much ...
Big thighs and a rather large behind ... see, I don't consider these things "blessings."
Sensitive skin ... again, not a blessing.
Abnormally, abnormal sinuses ... sooooo NOT a blessing!
January tends to be one of the worst months on record for me, sinus-wise. I'm not sure what it is ... a major switch in weather patterns ... no sun for what seems like 8 months ... constant, ever-present furnace dust ... whatever the cause, I generally get a migraine headache the hangs out with me from January 1st through sometime in mid-February.
The year 2008 is proving to be no exception.
As long as I stay seated and unmoving, I am perfectly fine. The minute I choose to take in a breath, allowing my chest to move ever so slightly, I become dizzy and headachy. Sometimes, this blows up into a full-fledged pain-in-my-head migraine. Other times, I'm just plain sick.
So far, with all of our modern technological advancements, no one has come up with something that can effectively render me headache-free. Well, with the exception of STRONG LIQUOR. But with enough of that, I'd still be headachy and sick the next day ... so what's the point!
So, I raise my glass of water and Excedrin Migraine to the Year 2008. I should be out of my headache-funk by the time I turn 36 and ready to face the world again.
