Deja vu and headaches.

[personal profile] marina is off to DC for the day, and she'll be sleeping at [personal profile] synecdochic's tonight and tomorrow because of my brother, ARG. I mean, I love the boy so much, but seriously, his communication and sense of timing suck. He's taking his super duper comfortable bed back to Boston tomorrow, and sleeping on it tonight. With the new potential boyfriend material. I like the new potential boyfriend material, actually, he's sweet and funny and they seem to get on quite well. But still. I wish he could have pushed this back a weekend or two. He's also taking his computer chair back, which means we need to get something for [personal profile] soleta to sit on.

I just had a massive deja vu; it was this SGA fall meme over on LJ. There's a bit of fic, and then a pic of action figures with a quote, and between that and the response to it, it was SO sharp. I remembered it exactly - so much so I checked to see if it was perhaps the old meme they were referencing, but no. And I remembered the John Hannah thing that was on the TV and the red blanket I'm sitting under (which we just pulled out for Marina last night, so it's not like the red blanket is something that's normally around for me to sit under). So clear, seriously, it was bizarre.

Also, I have a headache I can't get away from. I've tried Advil, stretching, lots of water, and it just won't budge. I don't have headaches like this; dehydration ones are taken care of with lots of water and any other ones I have (eyeball headaches, tension headaches, or slight caffeine withdrawal headaches) are all handled with an Advil or two (and sometimes stretching my neck). I've had four Advil and four glasses of water now, and my head's still pounding. :(

On the other hand, it is a glorious 50° outside. It can stay like this until next spring, please.

Maybe try a heat pack? I put dry rice in a sock, tie a knot in it, and heat it in the microwave for a couple of minutes. If it's too hot, wrap it in a towel. I usually find the heat helps my headaches when nothing else will. Hope you feel better soon!

Way late, I hope, but have you tried saltines for the headache -- I know it sounds very counter-intuitive, but when I get migraines, crackers and caffeine sometimes work where even my prescription stuff didn't always.
