In the wars

I've been getting seriously bad headaches for the last week or two now. I'm used to having headaches since I grew up with a constant stream of them. Sometimes I will get skull splitting migraines and sometimes I will get lingering background headaches that last for weeks. One problem is I often don't drink enough water and I'm probably not active enough. If I drank a glass of water every hour and went walking or running once a day they'd probably go away, or at the very least occur less frequently. My doctor gave me some migraine medication but it's really expensive and you're supposed to take it when you feel a headache developing. The way I see it why waste expensive medication on what may just be weak background headache. But by the time I know it's going to be a scorcher it's too late to take the medication, so the medication remains unused. I mostly rely on Panadol or Neurofen, but we havent got any of either at the moment.

On top of that I burnt my hand today. I took a tray of pizza out of the oven and put it on the stove top while I got a plate. Of course when I got back I forgot the tray was hot and put my hand on it. I've been nursing it in cold water since (I'm typing with just my left hand at the moment). I wonder how much longer it will burn for.
