pain meds

For a few weeks now I have been suffering terrible pain due to stressed and tense muscles in my neck and shoulder giving me intense headache, nausea and general discomfort. I don't particularly enjoy taking meds but wanting to end my misery and the misery I was causing my family I decided to take some muscle relaxants. They seem to do the trick mostly, however the side effect of that loopy, tired, drugged feeling caused me to be a bit relaxed.
A dear friend of mine stopped by (which I loved even if my house was a total disaster) and I completely remember the jealousy inducing stories of Italy I couldn't remember my own conversations moment to moment. I hope she can forgive my scattered mind.
After my friend left I went to the mall with my family and decided to get that haircut I've been talking about for years. With my husband there to keep me from chickening out and the meds still in my system to make everything somewhat surreal I finally went through with it.
In these pictures I don't look happy but I really am it was just difficult to get a photo of myself so I was concentrating. Also the girl straightened my hair (which I like) but when the curl comes back it will lose some more length.

Meds have worn off I should really see a doctor maybe...I'm just not comfortable with that.
