The Minor Headache
A couple of weeks ago, a few of us met up at my place to go to RFK Stadium to watch the D.C. United game. We're all just about ready to go when I decide to go upstairs and take some medicine for this minor headache I was having, which was probably a result of the previous night's drinking. I have a bottle of off-brand headache medicine that I wanted to finish off, so I opted for that over my Advil since the headache was minor. The off-brand headache medicine resides in an unmarked orange bottle. I take one pill.

I go downstairs. Everyone is ready to go, and I am halfway out the door, and stop. I think to myself, "wait a minute," and run back up to my room. Yes, in my haste, instead of picking up the headache medicine bottle, I accidentally took one of my percocets out of a similar looking bottle from back when I was in the hospital!

Needless to say, my minor headache went away.

I zoned out for 90 minutes of soccer. Good game.

Had the headache been less "minor", I might have been inclined to take two. That would have been just swell.
