Ended up with a slight headache today after church.
Pretty sure it was from the tension experienced from having to sit through a stressful lesson on finances and insurance and such that I think no one in the room wanted to hear.
I'm pretty sure it stressed people out, talking about budgeting and debt and getting married and health insurance. *exhales*
Yah.
Stressful. The energy in that room was anything but spiritual today. 

Thankfully some Excedrin and such helped to get rid of the headache.

I ended up with a headache early this morning because I came into work to discover over a dozen of our bettas were dead on the shelf, and another dozen or so were close to dying because one of my coworkers had overdosed the water with either pimafix or melafix judging by the smell....so I had to quickly rescue the remaining surviving fish and get them into fresher water.
Add into that that apparently my coworkers were stressing over the health of our animals that when I checked them out, looked completely healthy despite my coworkers stating otherwise....

Yah wasn't a fun way to start the morning.

Ended up with a slight headache this afternoon, mostly from the stress of having to deal with the dentist today as that always leaves my jaw aching a bit. Some Mountain Dew and Tylenol helped the faint headache to fade.

Got stressed out today to the point of getting a slight headache because I've stated multiple times that I don't want to participate in a DnD campaign that my family is putting together, because I have no interest whatsoever in participating, but I keep getting asked to participate and give my opinion and it stresses me out because I want to make my family happy, but I don't have any interest at all and don't want to play and so I'm now stuck between making my family happy and keeping myself happy. Gah.

Have had a minor headache that's come and gone---starting while I was at work....and probably caused due to tension because I'm probably stressing over things I shouldn't be stressing over. 
But also like....dealing with stressors at home as well since change is on the horizon and its not always easy to deal with change especially when you don't quite want it to happen.

Had a pretty major headache today. 
I think it was from a combination of things. Like not getting enough sleep because I stayed up late to watch a video.
And then like wanting to talk about that video allllll day at work....only to not be able to talk about it with anyone until like nearly sunset.
And then worrying over why others were unable to talk about the video until that point.
And stressing over writing I should be doing.
And probably needing to eat more food.....

And  yah....a migraine isn't that unexpected all things considering.

Me: Let's spend the day writing things!
*six hours later after being taken to go do other things*
Me: ….Guess writing has to wait then....

The minor headache of yesterday afternoon ended up becoming a full blown nuclear migraine in the early hours of this morning, pulsing bad enough behind my left eye that it made me nauseous to the point where I couldn't take any medicine to get it to go away because I would just throw it up if I tried. 
It was awful really and heatpacks couldn't only do so much.
I ended up taking two showers within the space of a couple of hours of each other, to try and get the muscles in my neck to relax so that the pounding in my head would fade.
That helped a bit. Enough that I was able to fall asleep. 
The headache faded after that, but didn't go away until I pulled out a mountain dew. The caffeine from that finally chased it away. So woot. 

Saturday, June 22, 2019

Ended up with a headache behind the eyes this afternoon. It started after I woke up from a nap so it's probably related to too much sleep or sleeping tense....but sleep related. 
Eating some food helped it fade a bit. But the headache is still present.  Only at like a one or two on the pain scale so annoying but nothing I can't handle.

Me: You know.
Brain: ???
Me: We would write this story out a lot faster if--
Brain: If what?
Me: *exhales* If we didn't examine every single line for like twenty minutes to make sure its okay before moving on.
Brain: ()_() But.
Me: I know. Crazy right?
Brain: WELL YAH! It needs to be PERFECT the FIRST TIME around.
Me: *exhales* I knew you'd say something like that.
Brain: Perfect I tell you! Perfect!
Me: …...

Slight headache this afternoon. Muscles tensed up from mental stress more than anything probably. 

Wednesday, June 19, 2019

Had a slight headache at work today. Not sure why. Beginning to wonder if the contact is causing the issue but at the same time it's not consistent. So no idea. At least it went away though.

Tuesday, June 18, 2019

The headache behind my right eye returned this afternoon. Which is rather annoying when I'm trying to focus on writing.
I'm guessing it was tension based from staring at a computer screen for too long or something.
As food and liquids and meds weren't helping the headache go away.

But a quick walk around the block with the roomies apparently helped to relax my muscles enough to get the headache to fade. 

Monday, June 17, 2019

Ended up with a headache this evening behind my right eye. 
I'm guessing it's just from stress of the day.
Not really personal stress, but other people's stresses.
Worrying for friends and family who are going through difficult times currently and such. 
And it stresses me out because I want to help out, but I'm not currently in a position where I can do so.
So like...I'm just sitting here having that worry niggle at the back of my head throughout the day.

So yah. No wonder there's a slight headache going on.
Hopefully some sleep gets rid of it. 

Sunday, June 16, 2019

Had a faint headache behind my right eye for most of the day. It went away after I ate dinner, but I think it was mostly caused from tension/stress because I was stressed about going to Church and having to interact with people and stressed about driving up North for family dinner and stressed to have the roomie coming back after an extended absence but not knowing when they're going to show up---so yah stress.

"Just like Cinderella" I mutter as I again dip the mop into the bucket, scrubbing at the sticky stain on the floor. 
It felt like I'd been at this for hours.
Me, the bucket and the mop. Scrubbing away at the different floors around the house, trying to make it presentable for the company that would soon be descending upon us.

I may have found the reason why I'm getting headaches in the morning again.
I think it's because we're using the AC more this week than we have been.
And the ability to cool our house down...sucks really. Like the AC can go for hours and the basement gets colder and the upstairs stays the same or gets hotter.
Seriously, bad design on whoever designed this house.

In any case.
The AC unit with it's loud humming fan sits right outside my window.

And the past week the AC has been running late into the night.

And the past three days I've woken up randomly in the middle of the night to hear it still humming.
And that humming is often similar to the vibration I hear with my phone.

So I think just hearing that noise constantly throughout the night is causing my muscles to tense up.
Hence why I'm waking up with a headache.
Because my body can't relax while its sleeping. 

Thankfully, taking some advil this morning helped to get rid of it....
Temporary.
The headache came back as a full force Migraine at Lunch Time.
I don't know if it was sleep deprivation or not enough food or tense muscles still or all three.
But the pain behind my eyes was intense, painful, nauseating. 
I ended up taking an Excedrin and then took a long hot shower and let the water beat against my neck for a good twenty or thirty minutes to get the pain to decrease if not go totally away.
Then grabbed some food to eat to see if that would help and just rested with my eyes mostly closed in the dark while listening to shows. 

So for now.
It's fine.
Hopefully it stays away.

*exhales* 
Ended up with another headache this morning.
Which either means I'm sleeping tense or there's something with my right contact that is causing irritation early in the morning.
I'm thinking it's sleeping tense, as I'm still wearing the contacts and the headache is gone. So possibly sleeping tense. 

Thankfully distractions at work and some Excedrin helped it. 

Wednesday, June 12, 2019

I've had a slight headache for most of the morning and afternoon.
From how tired I'm feeling, I'm guessing it's mostly because of that.
That or not eating enough food....
As grabbing some Wendys has helped to make it go away....but a quick nap has also helped too.
Probably both.
Hopefully I keep it at bay for the rest of the evening.

Tuesday, June 11, 2019

Have a headache behind my right eye currently.
Advil isn't helping as much today.
Possibly because I haven't taken a real nap and have been focused on writing and trying to get a few different tasks done.

So. Possibly dehydrated a bit too. 
But I'm hoping its mostly just tiredness causing it. 

Monday, June 10, 2019

Woke up with the migraine I went to bed with this morning.
It was painful, but more like a 5 or so on the pain scale. 
So annoying, but mostly manageable. Though it was bad enough that I didn't want to eat anything.
Tylenol and Aleve hadn't helped during the evening yesterday.
So I took some Advil once I was sure it wouldn't react with the Aleve and had a Dr. Pepper.
Thankfully, working and the meds seems to have helped the migraine go away, so this evening I've been doing pretty good. 

Sunday, June 9, 2019

Ended up with a major migraine this evening.
Pretty sure it's based off of sleep deprivation.
Because I only got about 4 ish hours of sleep before then spending like 9 hours on windy mountain roads to get back home. 
Some of those hours were spent driving.
riding or driving still kinda tense to be on the windy roads.
Plus loud voices made it hard to sleep in the car.
So like...I think I took a nap too late? 
Because it was nearly sunset by the time I found a chance to close my eyes for a bit.
And when I woke up.
bam. 
Headache behind the eyes. *exhales*
I took some meds, but I feel this headache will probably stick around until tomorrow.
Hopefully it doesn't become nuclear. 

Saturday, June 8, 2019

Ended up with a slight headache behind my eyes today. I think it was a combination of being out in the heat for most of the day, but also having to listen to a family member talk about finances, which has recently just caused me stress because I don't like hearing the 'what ifs' on if things go wrong and hearing the topic be brought up yet again? *exhales* Yah. Stressful.

She bounced in her carseat, eagerly doing her best to look out the window to the passing trees. "Dada!" She giggled, making grabby hands. "Dada Dada!!" 
Her mother smiled, turning on the street that lead to their home. "Almost, dear one." She murmured, soothingly. "Almost. Dada's almost here." She could see the car in the driveway and breathed a sigh of relief. He'd made it home before them. Good. She didn't want to deal with a disappointed two year old if he hadn't.

Brain: What if we came up with a prequel/sidequel series of this one character so that we can further focus on this cool world we created?
Me: Yah that would be cool but--
Brain: What if we wrote a series following our MC when they're older?!
Me: That's also cool But!
Brain: What if--
Me: WHAT IF we FINISH the other WIPS we're working on first okay?!
Brain: :( :( :( :(
Me: Okay?
Brain: So....there's this completely new idea!
Me: *face palm*

Wednesday, June 5, 2019

Woke up with a slight headache behind my right eye today.
I think it was from not getting the right amount of restful sleep as I ended up tossing and turning most of the night. 
I think it was because the place we're staying at may have gotten a little warm, and I don't usually sleep well if the home is too warm. 

So I think that was the main reason why I had the slight headache.
A heatpack, some advil, and a distraction later, helped to make it go away.

A single ripple moved through the pond, disturbing the glassy stillness that had been it's surface until a moment ago. 
He exhaled, bowing his head over the waters.
A moment of tranquility. Lost to an unknown creature disturbing the waters.

"It can't end in a question?" She growled, staring at the screen that had been the focus of her entire day, to the last paragraphs she'd been struggling over for the past two hours. 
"It can't end in a question? Why not? What's wrong with it?" 
It was silly, after all, she'd been working on a cliffhanger, and this question. This final question. Gave her that. 
At least...she thought it had. 
But now she wasn't so sure.
And she hated the feeling.
Hated that the doubt was once again in her mind where certainty had flowed so strongly.

Me: *attempting to write* 
Brain: Nooo that's not right!
Me: Then what is right?
Brain: *shrugs* But we must write it right!
Me: So what is right!
Brain: *shrugs again*
Me: *exhales* *continues chipping away at writing*

Saturday, June 1, 2019

Ended up with a slight headache today behind the eyes.
I'm pretty sure it's self caused as I've been working on writing all day.
So staring intently at a screen with hunched shoulders....probably doesn't do my muscles much good in preventing a headache from happening.
Hopefully a little sleep will help the last of it go away.
