headaches

headache? or migraine? not sure if sick, or allergic, or exhausted, or stressed, or dehydrated...

i got up super early to take the car to the mechanic, walked home thinking about homeless couriers, took mr smear to school with gd, walked down to my mom's coffee shop where we had chai while the hardware store dude took care of the patent screws, returning home, damaging a door discovering that the "professionals" who'd installed the locks hadn't used the same kinds of mechanisms at all, walking to a locksmith's and setting up my next tattoo session along the way, continuing the morning with hard, frustrating work, picking up mr smear who'd woken up from a nightmare and stayed in the mode - apparently it was about my brother being injured, so i calmed him down a bit by showing him i'd checked and he was fine - trying to get some work done at the coffee shop but the headache started, rushing out (fast, breathless walk) to the mechanic to pick up the car and learn that they'd replaced the light and spent ages on diagnostics but couldn't find anything wrong AND weren't going to charge me, chatting with my mom on the way home, detouring to the mall to do some emergency grocery shopping

godspeed you! black emperor while chilling with mr smear who wasn't feeling well

a little comics campaign progress with the illustrator, sailor not pitching so taking it easy and going to bed early (huh! it's just about midnight and i was ready to crash ages ago, why am i still here?)
