And It Strikes Again

It struck last night.
A major headache.

I was expecting it to actually.
I mean, I was hoping I wouldn't get one on the trip.
But I wasn't surprised to get one, because I've been dealing with a lot of stress and negative energy in my life recently.
I figured the chance to finally unwind and relax and literally have no worries would send my body into shock and I would get sick.

So far *knock on wood* I haven't gotten 'sick'
But I did end up with one of those 'can't sleep, too tense, nothing works, gonna be sick' sort of headaches.
The one that just leaves you energetically empty.
To the point where you just need to spend the day recovering.

lol.
Which lucky me, I'm on vacation! So I can totally afford to spend the day just vegging. :)

Thankfully, a few medicines, a hot shower, and a nice massage later and I was good as new!! ...well recovered enough that I could actually participate with other people for the rest of the day. :)

Hopefully I don't get another one for the rest of the trip. :)

Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
