I’ve had a headache off and on since I fell, and my nose vaguely aches. The rest of my body is meh but not as draining as the headache. I wonder if I should take my migraine stuff, if that’s the issue at this point. I have too much to do to be put down with a headache… ---

It sounds like you might have a concussion. Please call your doctor ASAP, this is very worrisome. ---

I haven’t been because I am feeling better, didn’t really think of it (last time I did something like this the migraine was quick onset, and we did go to the hospital, they checked me quick quick). I always get headaches though, it’s nothing new especially when the weather is changing which it did yesterday when it was the worst. Winter has returned, so my head should settle down again like it usually does but if the headaches continue I will go to the doc. ---

It’s called St-Jacques street, NOT St-James! There is no street in Montreal called St-James. Drives me nuts when people call that street by the wrong name. So, I guess there’ll be a new minirants thread tomorrow. I wonder what it will be called. ---

No dual names? I’m from a place with dual names, myself, so if it was named after the actual saint (and not a person or place) it would have both. ---

If it _were_ St James and there was a hospital on the street, it could be St James Infirmiry. ---
