Pain in the head

I am sorry I did not write yesterday. I had a terrible migraine, the likes of which I fortunately experience very rarely. It was the kind where I feel like I am going to vomit, where I can smell blood (without any apparent bleeding), the kind where I can taste sound. I tried to fight it, ignore it, work around it, but when my vision blurred I realized that it had won. Depending on circumstances, I deal with these pains in the head in one of two ways. The first is to lie down in a dark, silent room and put something cold on my eyes. I like to use a bag full of ice cubes wrapped in a towel because I find that it conforms more readily to the contours of my face. My other remedy is the one I used last night: a hot, scented bubble bath. I used equal parts lavender and peppermint, put on the sound of ocean waves, and soaked all of my cares away. Or as many as I could, anyway.
