I think it was the my contact lens that caused the headache today behind my right eye.
As I put in a different lens than the one I had been using...as that one had ended up getting a chunk taken out of it somehow...
So I put in an older lens...
And while at work ended up with a slight headache...that grew progressively worse until it was positively pounding behind my right eye.
There was a lot of relief after I took out the contact in that eye...
So I have to wonder if I accidentally grabbed a contact that was the old stronger prescription...As that's the only reason why I could think that it would show up behind that eye.

In any case I spent the day laid up on the couch with heat packs and taking Advil to make the headachce go away as a nap didn't help it at all.

Ended up with another headache while at work today. I was probably stressing over meeting up with friends to go see Avengers: Endgame along with other work related and family related stresses....so not fun though I managed to get the headache to mostly fade away before we actually went to the movie.

I was right.
The migraine kept me up basically all night.
I took multiple hot showers in the early hours of the morning, heated up more heat packs, and after getting a can of pepsi and taking a little bit of Advil...I was able to doze off on the couch by my fish tank listening to the trickling of water there.
The headache was basically gone throughout the day which was nice.
But as the evening wore on it's started to come back.
I can only hope its from tension of interacting with people today and I can get rid of it tonight when I go to bed.
*fingers crossed*

I had a headache come on while I was at work today, managed to make it go away after taking some meds and a nap on my break, but towards the end of my shift it started coming back and....well stayed. I took a longer nap after work, but it didn't help. The headache is pounding away at my head and I've already taken a shower to try and stop it and heat packed it and medicated it and ate food and drank things....so it's probably just going to turn into one of those nuclear headaches that's not going to bode well for me.

Woke up with a headache this morning.
Which isn't a pleasant way to wake up at all.
But was probably caused from the stresses of last night as I didn't eat or drink as much as I should probably have, and ended up staying up a lot later than usual.
So yah...hopefully eating and drinking more food today will help it to totally fade away,
though it hasn't worked yet. :( 
Meds aren't quite helping either....

I took a deep breath, steeling myself as I gazed up to the multicolored lights.
This was it.
This was what we had all been waiting for.
I glanced to my right, my friends standing beside me also looking up to the shining tower.
Tonight.
It would all change.
I could only hope everyone survived it.

Had a minor headache this morning, which may have just been left over from yesterday's ache, but was probably just triggered by more work stress, since the entire store is going through a reset this week and the managers are pretty stressed out. 
Thankfully taking some meds and a small nap after work helped it to go away.

Tuesday, April 23, 2019

Have a headache that's slowly been building up this evening. Not sure if it's just from the tension that comes from attempting to write, or if I'm just stressing because my roomies are stressing and I'm stressing that I can't help lessen their stress....
Maybe I need to go eat something....

Her shoulders slumped as she moved into the kitchen only to find an even bigger mess of dishes piled in the sink.
"You couldn't even have done these?" She muttered, rolling up her sleeves as she trudged forward. "What's wrong? Afraid of a little grime?" 
Apparently so because there had to be a least a weeks worth of mess piled before her.

Woke up with a headache this morning. 
I don't know if it was from being startled awake by an alarm on my phone I didn't know I had set that then disturbed my sleep rhythm.
Or from sleeping too long or too tense....
But I woke up with a headache behind my left eye that radiated down my neck and to my shoulder.
Advil and heat packs have helped to keep it from being anything majorly irritating.
But it still hasn't fully faded yet. 
So we'll see if it still is a problem on the morrow....

I crouched down, out of sight, my fingers white on the shelf as the man rampaged through the store screaming at the top of his lungs.
I knew grief.
I knew being upset.
But this.
This was crazy.
I flinched as a crash echoed through the store, the sound of shattering glass tinkling in my ears. 
Hopefully the police would come soon.

I leaned into his chest, relaxing as his arms wrapped around me. 
"Happy?" He whispered.
I tilted my head back, looking into his eyes with a small smile. "Very." I whisper resting my head against him. It was a perfect start to a new beginning.

What was the point?
Reaching out?
Thinking I was popular?
Ha.
Popular to myself.
No one cares.
No one cares unless they can get something from you.
So if you ask for something in return....
Crickets.
Endless crickets.
What was the point?
What is the point?
Trying.
Sharing.
Working.
For what?
For who?
Sure for me.
But sometimes I wish...others would express what I crave.
What I need.

Yet.
Here I'm left.
With only me.

Ended up with a headache at work this morning. 
Not sure if it was leftover from last nights headache,
or if it was a new one that started up because I was probably stressing about working with a particular coworker that tends to....like to complain....
Thankfully taking some Excedrin helped to get rid of the headache before it got too bad so I could focus at work...thought I've been left rather tired most of the day. 

Tuesday, April 16, 2019

Ended up with a headache tonight, probably from taking like a 2 hour nap once I got home from work as work was...exhausting. It's exhausting being back.
It probably didn't help that I spent a couple of hours intently focusing on editing and writing....which usually causes a headache....I hope some sleep helps to get rid of it because meds aren't really helping it.

"Mama?" She asked, staring out the window of the plane. 
"Mmm?" Her Mom barely looked up from the book she was reading, focused more on the page than on her.
"How long will we be in the clouds?" They hadn't seen the sun yet, but she knew it was somewhere above them. Daddy had said so. 
"Until we finish climbing."
"How long is that."
"As long as it takes."
She pouted, sitting back in her chair, crossing her arms. That wasn't an answer. It already felt like they'd spent ages with white mist surrounding them. Where was the sun? It had to come out soon.
Right?

Me: So we finished a story! Time to start another one!
Brain: …..
Me: Ummm
Brain: Break?
Me: But we're on a roll here! Let's right!
Brain: Tired. Think too much. Break. 

Saturday, April 13, 2019

Had a slight headache start up this evening. I think it was mostly from trying to focus on writing throughout the day, though other factors could have been involved, I'm pretty sure it's from that as the process of creating a story can be rather tension inducing. 
Some Excedrin has helped to make it go away though. So Yay! 

Thursday, April 11, 2019

Ended up with a headache that came and went throughout the day.
I think it may have been triggered soon after waking up...just...idk...it came on early, so I either slept tense, or I got tense pretty quickly after waking as worries or something just filled my mind.
Thankfully, it never got bad and some meds, a massage stone, and distractions later. It went away.
But yah. Never got majorly bad for which I was grateful. :)

They sat near the door, glancing out to the rolling clouds that only grew darker as they came closer.
"You think it will be okay, Ma?" The youngest whispered, clinging to her leg.
She quickly smoothed the worried frown from her face, holding the child close. "It will be fine." She reassured, though the raging wind outside warned otherwise. "It'll be fine."

Tuesday, April 9, 2019

I ended up with slight headaches throughout the day. Nothing major, mostly I think it was just the stress of traveling. As I did a lot of that today. And once I got some food in me and a chance to relax. The headache stayed minor or vanished completely as time went on. So yay for nothing major. 

Monday, April 8, 2019

Ended up with a headache pretty soon after coming into work. I think it's just from exhaustion. Being tired. That or maybe because the migraine yesterday had me feeling sick, I didn't eat much food last night, so I was probably needing some nutrients.
Because after work I grabbed Wendy's and eating that, plus a half hour nap, helped to make the headache go away. So woot!

Sunday, April 7, 2019

I woke up with a headache this morning. *exhales* I think it was from sleeping tense? 
Maybe I was hearing the beeping of the fire alarm's dead battery.
Or the annoyance of having unexpected problems in the morning....

In any case. The headache came and after conference got much worse. Into migraine mode. To the point where I had to just crash for a bit, take a shower, and some meds....and yah...
Headache did vanish long enough for me to be able to make it back home with no issue. 

Saturday, April 6, 2019

Had a slight headache behind my right eye today while I was at work. Can't tell if it was just the stress of work or something else. But thankfully, a bit of Excedrin helped to keep it at bay and the distractions of work ended up not being too stressful. 

Friday, April 5, 2019

As is typical of my days off when I'm focusing on trying to write....there is a slight headache developing behind my right eye.
Probably from tension of staring at a screen, while my thoughts are going a mile a minute, and I'm trying to write like twelve different things at once.
Probably. 

Thursday, April 4, 2019

Me: *staring blankly at the computer screen*
Brain: ….you were wanting to write?
Me: *softly* Yah.
Brain: :( :( :(
Me: *yawns* 
Brain: We're tired.
Me: I know.
Brain: I know you know. But we're tired. Sleep.
Me: ….Yah. Alright. *closes laptop*

Her heart jumped into her throat as they pulled into the desolate lot. "Ummm, Dad." She said looking at the bright lights and empty tables within the Taco Bell. "You really want to eat here?" Their first attempt to eat tacos had been ruined because their usual spot was randomly getting remodeled, but this old taco bell on the outskirts of town....it had much more of a creepy vibe, especially in the light of the setting sun. 
"I told you, sweetheart." Her dad said, turning off the engine. "Tacos are what we need and tacos are what we're getting!"

Tuesday, April 2, 2019

I ended up with a headache today.
Not really surprised I did though.
Because like...the stress of yesterday meant that it was only a matter of time before one formed behind my eyes.

One that while annoying isn't super bad...but is making it hard to focus on things because it won't go away.

Monday, April 1, 2019

It was hard to not be suspicious. I'd been on edge all day, waiting for someone to do something to me. To prank me. Yet...I twirled around in my chair, glancing to my coworkers. It was like no one remember. No one knew...today was April Fools day and no one was doing anything obvious to fool me. 
I exhaled, turning back to my computer screen, watching from the corner of my eye. 
It would come.
Sometime.
Soon.
The prank would come.
