Summary: Natalie feels a little woozy.
Natalie had had a day. A terrible day. A no good day. A very bad day. A terrible, no good, very bad day. In essence, she'd had a Monday. She'd woken up that morning with a slight headache and had taken a potion to get rid of it, but two hours later she'd still been hunched over the counter at the front of the shop, pressing the heels of her hands against her forehead as she tried to ignore the headache that had most definitely not gone away.
It had, in fact, just gotten worse over the course of the day. By the time that it was time for her to close up the shop for the night, her head was absolutely throbbing. She felt like her brain was convulsing or hemorrhaging or going through labor with triplets.
After she locked up the shop, she trudged slowly up the stairs to her flat, wincing at how achy her body felt. When she finally made it up the stairs, she shuffled into the kitchen and pulled her thermometer out of one of the cabinets, and then sat down on top of the counter as she took her temperature.
She most definitely did not make a small whining sound when she read that her temperature was at just about 40 degrees.
It took her a while to summon up the energy to move from the kitchen counter to her bedroom, and when she finally did, she dragged herself onto the bed and pulled her blankets tightly around her body, too drained to even think about changing into her pajamas before she fell asleep.
