Vicodin works pretty well. I was able to handle work today without any discomfort in my thumb, and without any stress in my head. Everyone seemed particularly sociable and contented today. So far, so good.
I came home and took some Ibuprofen instead, since I could easily end up liking that Vicodin a little more than necessary. Might still need it to sleep, though, so I don't roll over onto my hand again - that woke me up pretty quickly.
Other than that, I'm seriously looking forward to my Finland trip next month. I think I had a dream last night about Finland in the summertime and woke up just wanting to be there already - laughing and having a drink with my friends in Helsinki, staying up all night just because it doesn't get dark, hearing the squeal of the trams, parks that are actually safe to walk alone, that ubiquitous red granite, the smell of the harbor and of kebab shops still open at 4 am, and just hanging out with the street musicians and listening to the accordian covers of Queen and Led Zep. What a dream - and what a shame to wake up from it because my thumb decided to complain!
Oh hey, have some Värttinä:
