Ended up with a Migraine today towards the end of my work shift.
Well, it had the faintest of beginnings towards the end of my lunch break around noon, but it got steadily worse as the remainder of my shift progressed.
Oddly enough, it was behind the left eye today which is different than the more usual behind the right eye sort of headache.

I tried to keep it at bay by taking Aleve and Tylenol and a nap and had a heatpack while at work.
It helped a tiny bit, but not much.
But at least it faded enough for me to be able to manage through the remaining portion of my shift. 

I came home and took another med...not sure which one..the Aleve may have worn off by that point so I took Advil to see if it would help, and later more Tylenol and once the Advil was through my system more Aleve.
Took a shower too to try and relax my muscles.
Took a nap to see if it would help.
Well...ended up practically sleeping throughout most of the day really.
And the headache is still present.
So it looks like it's going to go Nuclear and make me suffer for the rest of the night.
*exhales*

Dear Migraine.
WHY?

Friday, August 30, 2019

Woke up with my headache from yesterday still present. 
Which is rather irritating because it makes it difficult to want to do anything when I have this faint ache pounding behind my right eye. Bleh.
Nothing seemed to be helping it either.
Tried Tylenol and Excedrin. 
Heat packs.
A Hot Shower.
Liquids, Food.
Nothing.
But I've been organizing my room a bit and I guess that helped a little bit to work out the tension in my muscles as it's not as present now. So yay for that.

Ended up with a headache this evening. Not quite sure why it started up behind my right eye but it was probably tension over something. Maybe it was from attempting to write but not writing....

It was all around me, even with my eyes closed it seemed like all I could see were those red burning flames of fire.
Fire.
FIRE.
I couldn't escape it.
No matter where in the country I ventured, drought seemed to soon follow and with the drought....came the fires.
The skies filled with smoke.
The land burned.
And everywhere I turned, were those fires.

Me: Oh yes, I can take all of these writing prompts and write short little oneshots for each one.
Brain: *takes each one and expands them all into multi-chaptered fics*

Me: -_- …okay I knew this was a possibility…but WHY are you like this?

Brain: ^^;; You know you love it!

Another day another headache in the morning just from coworker and work stress. *exhales* Hopefully some sleep helps.

Sunday, August 25, 2019

Ended up with a headache this evening. I think just from stress of trying to write and read and well...please people. But Hopefully some sleep and some heat on my neck will help it go away. Took some Tylenol and a shower but they've only dulled the ache for the moment.

Saturday, August 24, 2019

Ended up with a headache behind my right eye this morning pretty quickly after I came into work because I encountered some notes left by coworkers the night before that I didn't quite understand the point of. Because my coworkers said that the cats were 'very sick' and they appeared to be fine, and also that two of our animals in the store had been 'put on hold' when we're not supposed to put animals on hold.
So yah. Irritation this morning caused a headache, but also the stress building in the store due to issues in the grooming department didn't help.
But thankfully taking a Tylenol and Aleve helped the headache to disappear. So I didn't have to deal with it too long. 

Friday, August 23, 2019

Woke up this morning with the same headache I went to bed with which wasn't fun, but thankfully a shower and some heat on my shoulders helped it to go away. 

Thursday, August 22, 2019

I have a slight headache behind my eyes currently.
I think it may be from taking like a two hour nap when i got home today as I haven't done that in a long while.
But probably waking up too quickly after said nap and going adventuring about town right after....

So tense muscles are probably a cause too...
Though at least it's a minor ache.

Wednesday, August 21, 2019

Ended up with a headache this morning.
I think it's mostly from tense muscles as my right shoulder up to that side of the neck is aching. 
But I'm not sure if it's just from sleep issues, or waking up at the wrong moment...
There was slight stress at work that made the headache slightly worse.
But getting some PastTense, Excedrin, a heatpack and a Dr. Pepper has helped it fade a bit. 

So we'll see. 

Tuesday, August 20, 2019

I've been fighting to keep a headache at bay most of the day because I woke up to a comment from a reader that just...tensed me up. Irritated me first thing in the morning and when I get irritated...it's hard to keep a nice mellow relaxed mood after that point. 
So it's been hit and miss. I feel the twinges of one beginning and take actions to get rid of it...which it does only for it to again twinge a bit later again trying to come back.

Me: We finished the story!
Brain: WE DID!
Me: This is amazing!
Brain: It is!
Me: ^^;;
Brain: ....
Me: >_> 
Brain: So....new idea? Wanna work on that?

Sunday, August 18, 2019

Ended up with a headache behind my left eye this evening.
Not quite sure why or how.
Probably stressing over writing and not eating enough or something like that.
So far Excedrin hasn't helped it nor heatpacks so at this point....I'm guessing I'll just have to head to bed soon and hope it doesn't stay when I wake up in the morning. 

Saturday, August 17, 2019

Me: As soon as I get home I'm going to write all the ideas!
Work: *Gets crazy busy and hectic* 
Me: *arrives home* 
Me: *crashes*
Me: *doesn't write* 

Friday, August 16, 2019

I slammed the book shut, tossing it halfway across the room with a snarl on my lips. "That's just stupid!" How could the author have ever thought that it was a good--gah! I fell back on my bed, pulling my pillow over my head so I wouldn't have to see the cover of the book containing such a weak uninteresting plot. Why I had ever thought the book would be a good read, I had no idea.
But I was really regretting choosing to read it today. 
With a groan I rolled, turning my back to the offending object.
Hopefully the next book I picked up would be better. 
But with how many paperbacks had been tossed onto the floor around my room...my hope was small indeed.

He kept his head down, taking orders as quickly as he could, not wanting to look up because he knew. He Knew that the line was out the door that he was taking too long. But there was only so much he could do when he was expected to be three people at once. 
Taking orders was easy.
Setting the food on the tray easy.
But trying to do that and half a dozen other tasks as customers kept coming up with more needs and requirements of him...made it difficult.
He silently flinches as yet another person leaves the line, headed to find food elsewhere.
If only...if only he had backup.
But a glance into the back shows his coworkers, those he can see at least, busy with the drive thru and the cooking for the food.
No one could help him.
No one could come get a second register open.
He exhales, turning to the next customer, hoping yet not believing that this would mean the end of the rush hour line.

Me: *has plan to write*
Life: *detour* 
Me: *takes detour* 
Hours later
Me: Oh....I wanted to write.....

I've had a headache basically since I woke up today because my neck is still tense. Tense enough I almost thought that I'd cricked it when I woke up this morning. *exhales* It got worse when I put in my contacts. The area behind my right eye throbbing off and on throughout the day. Getting worse getting better getting worse getting better.
Been doing what I can to keep it at bay.
But with how tense my muscles are.
And how stressed work is...
I doubt it's going to go well for me.
Though taking out my contacts seems to have helped a lot. So yay for that.

I ended up with a headache after work today.
I think because I tensed myself out trying to get a chapter posted for the story I'm working on as I needed to do a bit of editing/tweaking before I posted it and I think the stress of getting that done and uploaded before I needed to go help a friend move caused the headache to come throb behind my right eye. XP 
It stuck around for the rest of the evening unfortunately. It would fade in and out...but over all it stuck around, I think because the muscles in my neck were so tense.

Me: Okay let's finish this idea first and then we can work on a diff--
Brain: Look what I did! *holds up five new story ideas*
Me: ......

Saturday, August 10, 2019

Ended up with a headache today after work.
I think it began from just being bored at work, there weren't that many people around to help and my mind tends to stress out if I have nothing to keep me busy for hours on end.
But then there was also the stress of trying to post a story and being tired and probably not eating enough and....who knows what other stressors---mostly I'm beginning to think that Saturdays are going to be like Fast Sundays and I'll just end up with a headache after work regardless of what I do. *exhales* I hope that's not the case but it feels like it has been for the past little while.

I knelt, moving as quickly as I could to gather up all the odds and ends scattered about the floor of the bedroom. The sooner I could get everything out of here, the sooner I would be able to finally be free of the dark cloud hanging over my head knowing that expectations were high, that people were wanting this room ready. 
Within minutes it was done.
So quickly.
So very quickly.
How had it not been completed by others before now, I had no idea, but at least now it was done. 

Inspiration from helping to clean a room.

Frustrations at work had my neck and shoulders getting tense today.
To the point where if I didn't act quickly I would end up with another headache because I was annoyed and being more sensitive to sounds today and there was an annoying barking dog that barked for like two hours straight if not longer. Bleh.

But I took an Excedrin and put some PastTense on the back of my neck to help relax the muscles there.

It helped. A lot. 

Though trying to write and publish a chapter and that got my shoulders tense. *exhales* Trying to keep myself relaxed.

Ended up with a slight headache at work today.
It started behind my left eye because I was stressing over a situation with a guinea pig, but that ended up fading once I took a nap on my break and had a heat pack over my eye. 

But then the headache went over to the right side behind that eye as the morning progressed. I think because I could hear a faint...humming singing sound from somewhere nearby. 
And it was just faint enough like the faint buzzing of a fly or something that if you weren't paying attention you probably wouldn't realize it was there. But I could sense it...this faint humming.

I ended up going to investigate.
Couldn't really find it...I did encounter a customer at the birds talking to the conure and she hadn't moved from him in sometime....so she could have been the source as after she left...I didn't actively hear the humming anymore.

In any case.
I ended up getting some of my PastTense Essential Oil and placing it on my tense muscles, took an Excedrin, and grabbed some crackers to snack on to hopefully help it fade.

Which it did. Yay.

Hopefully it stays away.

I frowned, tapping my fingers against the steering wheel as I watched the gentleman put yet another debit card into the ATM machine. That had to have been like the fourth one in a row, what was the dude doing? Stealing someone's identity? Stealing all their money? 
I shook my head, resisting the urge to lay on the horn because I needed to withdraw some cash too and this guy was taking for and ever. 
No. It couldn't be...there were other people in the car. Maybe he was using all their cards too...loading up...the guy was from california after all....
But at the same time....I couldn't help but wonder....

Got a headache at work today.
Possibly from just dealing with too much conversation over the radios?
Not sure.
I did what I could to get rid of it.
But the headache is sticking around.
Again behind the right eye.
Again because the muscles in my neck are tensed up. 
Tried some meds
And some heat.
They helped a bit.
But the headache is just in that come and go sort of stage where it gets stronger and weaker and stronger and weaker.
*exhales* 
So annoying

Sunday, August 4, 2019

I'd tried so hard to avoid getting a headache today.
I even forwent fasting for fast Sunday to avoid getting the typical headache that I usually get after fast sunday. 
Took all the precautions.
As driving up and down from seeing family can also tense me up and cause a headache from traffic and such.
So I did all I could to avoid the headache.

So it's rather frustrating that I ended up with one anyways.

*exhales*

It was while I was sitting with my Daddoo that the headache struck.

I think it was because he'd fallen asleep and was breathing heavily onto me. 
Like maybe it was just....that I didn't like the energy being sent my way with each and every breath?
Idk.
But my right shoulder/arm/side of the neck tensed up. 
Which meant an ache formed behind my right eye.

I managed to get rid of it. A hot shower, a heat pack resting over my eye and a short nap...seemed to have helped at least. 

Saturday, August 3, 2019

I was doing pretty good today, avoiding getting a headache.

Had the beginnings of one this morning, but I took an Excedrin to help get rid of it.
Could feel the tension coming back into my shoulders as I got off work, and so I took another Excedrin to keep it at bay for a few more hours.
But now that I'm home....
The stress of all these writing prompts I have....is tensing me up I guess.
My right shoulder is tense....probably because I went pokemon hunting and held my arm in an awkward position for like two hours straight. So the arm probably aches from that, and the ache has gone up into my neck and is trying to settle behind my right eye. I've taken some Tylenol now to see if that helps, and placed heat on the sore area....

But idk if this faint headache will stick around or not....bu thopefully it leaves sooner and if not sooner, once I head for bed. 

Friday, August 2, 2019

I was right in thinking that sleep wouldn't help my headache from last night go away.
I ended up heading to bed early last night to try and force my aching head to behave....
To no availe.
It kept waking me up throughout the night, but thankfully wasn't in the nuclear levels.
Still, it wasn't until the sun had risen and I'd taken an Excedrin and gotten myself a heat pack on my left eye and distracted with projects that the headache finally left my aching head.

*exhales* Took most of the morning though. But thankfully I seem to be free of it for now. 

Thursday, August 1, 2019

Ended up with another headache today.
I think it was triggered by how often people were squeaking squeaky toys today at work.
Like it felt like it was an almost consistent thing today.
And the repetitive noise got on my nerves and tense up my neck....
And like it's probably sleep deprivation too as there's an ache behind my eyes that is probably from not getting enough sleep.
But it's to the point where I'm like halfway certain that trying to take a nap will only make this worse....
*exhales*
So we'll see. See if this headache sticks around or not.
