Swimming.

I decided last week during my ultra proactive mood to start swimming. Best. Idea. Ever.

It feels so good to be in the water. I get tired super easily; but when I'm in the water, I can move and get tired a lot less quickly. I'm exercising. It's amazing. The pain even almost goes away while I'm in the water. Maybe I was supposed to be a mermaid.

My sweet, headache-inflicted friend Sarah has been going with me. I went four days last week. I think it's my new favorite thing to do. We swim laps. Kind of. If it counts as swimming if you're using a kickboard. But that's okay. Because we're moving. We're not sitting on the couch groaning and contemplating brain transplants.

Why didn't I think of this sooner?

Also thanks to my proactive mood last week, I'm getting a massage this afternoon. Can't wait for that one. I also ordered some lavender and peppermint oil. The smell is supposed to relieve headache pain, but smells trigger pain for me, so we'll see how that works.
