OUCH

I woke up this morning and went to the gym. All seemed normal.

But by about 8:15 my head hurt so bad I wanted to scream. I figured I could just be still and not talk and all would be well.

I was wrong.

The first indicator was walking to my office through the long marble halls of the Rayburn building. I think I walked down the entire length of the hall with my eyes closed. That sort of helped. I walked into my office and was the first one there from the back office. It was dark and I was seriously considering bribing my office mates to please, please, leave the lights off. I sat there for about 5 minutes and decided that I needed to find a really dark place to hide. I promptly left work five minutes after I got there and ten minutes before it was even supposed to start.

I came home, went to my room, shut all the blinds, got in bed, put my head under the pillow and stayed there for nearly 4 hours.

My head is feeling a little better, but I still feel like crap (to be said with a Scottish accent). I've never had a migraine before - guess I can check it off my 40X40 list.

OUCH.
