Awoke with a headache, which is never a good start to the day. Got through all the usual morning dramas to hustle the children off to school on time, and the husband - bless him - brought home fresh croissants from the local bakery and made us ham, cheese & tomato croissants for breakfast. He knew I wouldn't have eaten because of the headache, but he also knows it only gets worse if I don't. I know this too, but in some academic way that doesn't actually convince me to eat unless the food is prepared and put in front of me.
Spent the rest of the day avoiding analgesics, preferring to gently whine about any noise. Gave in about 6pm - couldn't handle the pain AND having to prepare dinner. Oh, the bliss of codeine! The lightheaded feeling as the drug works through my bloodstream! The joy as the pain subsides! The tinge of hysteria combined with the relief as the tension abates! The sense of calm peace that eventuates.
Lucky I've never tried *real* drugs, hey?!
