Well, it’s Friday, and I woke up with a dent in my head. I feel like a golf ball. If golf balls only had one dent.

It’s really sore, too, which makes me think I bonked it on something in my sleep, and don’t remember.

That is totally the kind of thing I do. In fact, I’ve done it before. More than once.

I’m not sure why I’m fussing about it so much, then. There always seems to be someone who can tie head dents into the presence of brain tumours or radical mental illness or aliens on the cerebellum. To them I say: STOP TYING THINGS IN. I really can’t do it, not with my OCD brain. I’m already freaking out that it seems to be getting wider.

I’m going to end up in the “As Is” section at Ikea.

AAA!

So, rather than continuing to Google variations on this theme, I’m going with a new mantra: when life hands you dents, make dentmonade!

Without further delay or head-feeling…
