Sure Fire Remedy for a Headache

Walk in door. Do not open mail, do not listen to messages on answering machine. Do not check emails. If you have pets or children or husbands, all standing around needing you, try to avoid them.

Go to cupboard and pull out one cake mix, read directions, throw it together. While it's baking do not go weak and do any of the before mentioned items. Have a glass of wine, or flip through some mindless magazine. If necessary, hide in bedroom while doing so. When cake is done, don't wait too long for it to cool. Or you can go soak in the tub while it cools - your choice.

Throw some tub frosting on it, not worrying much about looks. This is not a State Fair entry. It's for medicinal purposes.


Grab a plate, and a fork, cut a BIG slice, and dive in.

My medicine of choice was red velvet with cream cheese frosting, but I'm confident german chocolate would have worked its magic too.

My version of 'take two' - combine slice of cake with magazine or wine. Your call. You probably won't overdose if you go for all three.
