Not the smartest cookie in the box...

Yesterday after I got home, I emptied the kitty litter, took some Advil, got my heatpack from the pretty girl upstairs, ate, emailed the roomie's mum with my parental phone number (which would be why I was online at all despite a tension headache that was actually making my cheekbones, eyesockets and jaw ache) and passed out on the couch. That would have been around 7 p.m. I woke up around 10:30 p.m. to an empty house (roomie had gone to watch the game), checked that nothing had exploded XP-wise and then staggered off to bed, where I slept like a dead thing until 8:00 this morning.

The good news is, the headache is gone. Of particular help was my heatpack, which is one of those U-shaped ones full of lavendar and wheat grains, that you heat in the microwave. The smell lingered on my hair and skin even after I went to bed, which helped with the coma-like sleeping, I think.

Of course, the other side to that is I'm still kind of dopey and my IQ has shrunk to that of Ralph Wiggums from The Simpsons. Considering it was the level of a retarded sloth last night, this is actually an improvement. Plus, my back and shoulders are still like steel cables. But yeah, I'm going to be a bit dim today, I think, at least until I shake the weariness. You have been warned.

I do have an appointment for regular counselling next Tuesday, tho'. All hail productivity!

If that's the one I got you that one year, they are seriously godsends and the only reason I regret moving away from Dumfries (the mall near there had a stand of them and I swear I bought one for everyone I knew at one point). They're the best things ever when my cat doesn't steal it.

Yep, that's the one. I have to keep it on the top shelf of my closet to stop the kits running off with it. ;)

Every time I need it, I bless your name, Jen. You have no idea how much pain it's averted.

I love heatpacks! Just do not leave that sucker in the microwave for 20 minutes and forget about it cuz not only will your place smell like lavender for like a YEAR, but you will fry the bag!

Yay productivity!

I LOVE my heatpacks. I have like 3 or 4 now. Using all 4 at once tends to put me into Extended Coma Land.

Also, I'm not sure sloths come in retarded. I mean, they're pretty stupid as it is. I think you should be fair to yourself and just go with regular ol sloth. Also sloths are stinky and you are not. But! baby sloths are adorable and so are you so maybe it is a valid comparison. But only in that regard.

Sloths are not stupid! Sloths have exactly the right amount of brain needed for their level of activity. You think it's stupidity. I think it's efficiency!

PS Baby sloths are cute beyond the ken of mortal men, really.
