A Legal Alien

23 August 2005

I went down to London today to turn in my school development paper and my dissertation. YAY! I'm officially done! I got my letter for the Home Office so I can finally get my FLR. After all that, I met up with Sandra and Ruffina for lunch. I haven't seen either of them since they came back and I probably won't see them again as they are both going home in the next few weeks. It was good to see them, to laugh and talk about school. I came home sooner than I wanted to though because I started to get a horrible migraine.

The beauty of medicine in the UK isn't the NHS. It's called codeine and it's available without a prescription. At Liverpool St. station, I stopped into Boots and bought a box of Tylenol with codeine to take on the train ride home. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to help much and the thought of walking home made me wince. So, I took a taxi home and the painter was here doing up my room. He should be done tomorrow. Housemate wasn't home so I grabbed a wet towel and went to bed to cover my eyes and rest. I laid down for a long while and finally, the idea of a hot shower massaging my head sounded good. It hit the spot and standing under the spray helped a lot. I took some more codeine to get rid of the last bit of tension and decided to have something to eat. Turkey sandwich and some trail mix for dinner and I'm not 100% yet but getting there.

Oh I'm so not witty today. Having a blood vessel pounding behind my left eye prohibits me being funny or even attempting to be funny.

Tomorrow I'm off to buy the car and a bit of my sanity.
