I took the day off. I’ve had this headache since last week but the weird (or not so weird) part of it is that I only suffer from it at work. Almost as soon as I get home, I hardly notice it – it’s still there, but just not bothering me. So it’s not a major problem but at the same time, it is a bit worrying because it’s not the tension headache that I normally get, the one which starts from the shoulders and works its way up. Anyway. I got to thinking that I’ve only had one week of vacation this summer so taking the day off felt like the right thing to do.

I’m really starting to enjoy my cabin now. It may sound like strange thing to say because I’ve had the cabin so long, but there’s always been something nagging me, like the last wall that I needed to paint. With that done, it feels like my worries are gone, so what better way to cure a headache than take a walk on the tundra and then spend the evening on the couch?
