migraines suck

my first blog post.

had a migraine last night, after playing two games of ultimate in fairly stifling heat. i think this is the first migraine i've had in maybe 5 years. migraines suck big time.

i know when they're coming around because i start not seeing things: that is, there are gaps (white splotches) in my vision. all i can do then is go lie down somewhere quiet and close my eyes and hope i can get to sleep.

thankfully i got to sleep through most of it.

still had a headache all day today, but i came in to work for a few hours because it was andrew's mid-term seminar, and i'm on his supervisory panel. it went well, as expected.

so i decided to be a sheep and do a blog. yeah, that follows.
