Gratitude 18 August 2016

• Finally getting over a 2 day migraine at about 8:30 PM EST. I know a lot of people have much more significant health concerns that they are dealing with other than migraines, so this is nothing like that. However, I felt like I couldn't do anything. I couldn't think, be happy, concentrate or be creative. It hurt right above my eyes and nothing helped (home coffee, Starbucks coffee, Excedrin migraine, chewable aspirin, healthy food, fried food, fruit smoothie). I just wanted to lay down and then got frustrated because a) I didn't have time to just lay around, and b) I felt unlike myself. I am very grateful this headache has gone away. 
• Spotting a book that I think someone may enjoy and buying it as a present for him.
• Working on something I didn't want to do and getting it done.
• Reflecting on finishing my Master's degree and graduating August 6, 2016.
• Learning about microbes and how they affect immunology.
• Hearing the catchy song "Cake by the Ocean" by DNCE.
