The Shriek

It was the high pitched shriek of an upset child that started it. 
The sound reached a decibel level that caused me to wince, to flinch away.
And as it repeated itself. Again and again.
The ache behind my eye grew. 

>.<
I probably could have gotten away with not getting a headache today.
Seriously I could have.
But for whatever reason, that child in the store today at work...just had the right tone and volume to put me on edge and cause me to get the headache that I'm now struggling with.
It didn't help that there was also a customer that let his two little tiny dogs bark their heads off like crazy for a good 15 minutes.
It didn't help that I had to play jigsaw with juggling cages today at work, which is always a mental strain.
It didn't help that I was tired and that my right arm decided to randomly start aching like mad even though I did nothing to it to cause it such pain. 

No. A lot of things didn't help me out today in avoiding this headache.
