After having a migraine on Sunday afternoon that lasted until Monday ... my head hurts. Not much at the moment, just enough to be annoying. Am applying prophylactic caffeine, Advil, and food to prevent it getting worse, and if it *does* get worse I need to remind myself to Take My Med Now Dammit, which was my Sunday problem: living with the mild headache long enough until it entrenched itself and couldn't be shaken.
It didn't help that Sunday I awakened with a giant existential ennui, with no motivation to do anything that I'd wanted to do this weekend in such a profound manner that I couldn't force myself to do anything. Toby sucked me into a game of Civ IV, but it was only late in the day that I realized the ennui was a migraine symptom and not just a normal mood shift. At least I got a bit of post-migraine euphoria yesterday afternoon in exchange.
Shall stop whining, for a while at least, and go do some work before deciding if I need to upgrade to migraine meds or not. (There's been some recent research showing that weather changes don't have as much of an effect on aches and pains as people think they do, but when a migraine shows up in the same period of time that Texas gets snow (in late March!!) and then the pendulum swings to 60° weather in 48 hours, I have to wonder.)

I often fall prey to Not Taking My Medicine Now. I try to take as little of everything as I can get away with, but sometimes higher levels of pain creep up on my so gradually that's not until I realize I'm cranky, depressed, and in agony that I really have a problem.
