ravenHello, flist. Apologies for being quite as crap as I have been being recently. I have a migraine. It's no good at all. I had about fifteen migraines in two weeks, and then on Thursday I started having a migraine that hasn't stopped yet. Three types of pills and a lengthy visit to out-of-hours haven't helped, and although everyone has been very nice (I tweeted about how much I heart NHS Direct - they retweeted me! I thought it was sweet) I am in pain and cranky and very, very worried about work.
(This is because last week I spent several days on my own without a supervisor, which was peaceful but boring as all-get-out, and I started getting very very frustrated; then he came back on Friday and gave me lots to do and it was interesting and started making me feel much less useless. And I already had several late mornings for my migraines - if I have to go off sick this week, I miss two interesting pieces of litigation and the run-up to my own mid-seat review, no. And it's so true that nothing to do makes you feel bad. I had just stopped feeling bad on that account and I'm so not in the mood for that again.)
So that's why I'm a little out of things. To try and keep my mind off things I am watching Satyameve Jayate on YouTube, which I am enjoying thoroughly - I always like it when actors whom I love because they are delectable are also likeable for reasons of being decent human beings, and really, Aamir Khan is - and it's kinda melodramatic and scripted but hey, where's any other show doing what it's doing. So. Y'all should watch it. (I've had no luck finding a version with English subtitles, but will post if I do.) Episode 1 deals with female foeticide, and episode 2, I am told, with child sexual abuse, so this is my trigger warning.
I'm also watching The Golden Girls and thinking about how much I love Bea Arthur. I thought about more Game of Thrones, but somehow I think it would not be so good for the headache.
