Uhnnnhhhhhhhh

I have a massive headache. I think I'm going to take more painkillers, even though it's not been the requisite 4 hours yet.

I'm worried that it's because my hockey helmet is super out of date. It was manufactured in 1999 and helmets now come with a five-year expiry date. :S

Last night I had a hockey practice and I got hit in the head with the puck about 4 or 5 times, which is well above normal. I didn't feel bad at the time at all, or even last night. But in class this morning I was starting to get a headache and then our prof's slide projectors make the most high-pitched squealing noises and my head started really pounding.

I've been lusting after new gear all year. But I think I should maybe go and get a new helmet sooner rather than later, just in case my headache is puck-related. If I can find one that's close to $150 I'll just buy it. But if they've only got the $300 ones I may have to wait for my birthday.

I love being a goaltender, but I really wish that the equipment wasn't so expensive. Le sigh.
