Brain: Ignores all the previous story ideas I need to be working on.
Me: How about we work on one of our wips?
Brain: No! New idea! Let's work on this new idea!
Me: But--
Brain: We can finish it quickly! I promise. :D 
Me: .....seriously? 
Brain: *nods*
Me: *looks to all our Wips* Somehow...I don't believe you.

Had a brief headache this morning. I think it was mostly from not having breakfast right away...that and again the muscle between my spine and shoulder on the right side tensed up...so putting some heat on that and eating some food helped to make it fade. Woot!

Saturday, September 28, 2019

Ended up with a slight headache this evening.
Probably from tension and not enough food as making some dinner and eating it has helped it to already fade.

Note to self. When in doubt. Eat food. It seems to help more often than not. 

Friday, September 27, 2019

Had a bit of a headache this morning/afternoon behind my left eye and then my right. Pretty sure it was connected with being hungry as eating food seemed to have helped that out. But also just from tension by my right shoulder blade again. Once I got that worked out the headache faded away pretty quickly.

Ended up with a major headache behind the eyes today which is frustrating after spending the last three days feeling sick. Like surely I should get at least one full day where my body feels completely healthy before the headaches come back. XP

Me: I should write in this fandom I haven't touched in 2 years.
Brain: But what about your current wips!
Me: Some of those are from the fandom I haven't touched in 2 years.
Brain: Oh....but the other fandom?!
Me: Can wait.
Brain: Okay...I understand....but how about instead of writing in either one.....we write in none.
Me: WHAT?!
Brain: *peace sign* 

Friday, September 20, 2019

Have a slight headache behind my right eye currently.
Probably tension related again as I did go to the gem faire and that sort of situation always makes me tense. There's so many people and so much energy. 
And my muscles get tense 
So I'm not surprised I have a slight headache behind the eye. 
Hopefully it doesn't get worse though.

Brain: *still fuming over an incident that I had no control over.*
Me: You know...we could let it go....
Brain: NO! I am gonna use this as fuel to write a STORY just you wait!
Me: ...... *exhales*

Ended up with a headache behind my right eye today again.
I'm pretty sure it is from tension in the muscles in my back as those were aching before the area behind my eye began to ache.
It's probably from stress....as I didn't get restful sleep last night due to being startled awake in the middle of the night. *exhales* 
Then stress at work probably exacerbated it as well. 

Tuesday, September 17, 2019

Brain: Has 12 ideas throughout the day.
Me: Okay let's try working one of those.
Brain: We can write them all!
Me: No...how about one.
Brain: ALL!
Me: *gets home from work*
Brain:......what story ideas? I don't know what you're talking about.

Headache has made itself known behind my right eye again. *exhales*
I halfway think it's from tension as the space between my shoulder and spine is sore and that's gone up to my neck tensing up those muscles there and up to rest behind my eye. 
It may partially be due to the stronger contact lens I'm wearing in that eye too...
But I'm more inclined to think it was tension as I came into work today to find just me and the manager and that we possibly wouldn't have a third person in until like 11am which is rather stressful news to find out first thing in the morning.
Plus manager surprised me with a 'we gotta deep clean everything this month' sort of paperpacket for our back rooms.
So yah. 
Stress. Probably stress.

Have taken excedrin and aleve...it's helped a little but the headache keeps coming back.

She hunched her shoulders, keeping her head down as she scrolled through the various apps on her phone, conscious of the consistent breaths of air that puffed against her arm that indicated the guy next to her was still staring in her direction.
Was he watching the phone?
Staring at her?
Just happening to be breathing in her direction?
She didn't know.
But she didn't like it.
A glance to the top of the screen showed she only had to survive a few more minutes.
A few more minutes of pretending she didn't notice the guy staring her way, breathing her way, being too close in his seat next to hers.
Just a little longer.
And she'll be able to get out and away from him.

It was tension between my right shoulder blade and spine in the muscle there was causing my head to ache. Probably just reacting to the stress of the managers emanating from them because we had corporate dropping by to visit today to check out our adoption event and they were stressing out over making sure it looked good. 
But taking some Excedrin and resting with a heatpack on my break seems to have helped it.
Though now the medicine has worn off...so more Excedrin has just been taken and hopefully it will help the resurgence of the headache to die away again.

Friday, September 13, 2019

I need to stop waking up super early in the morning and then falling back asleep to sleep in rather late on my days off as it seems to cause a headache to form more often than not. *exhales*
Woke up with one pounding away behind my left eye today.
Which is different from being behind my right eye.
But is still rather annoying in either case.
Not quite sure what to do to get rid of it either as the day is early yet, but I have tried taking an Aleve and a shower and have heat packs currently on my neck, so we'll see if that helps or not....

Thursday, September 12, 2019

I'm pretty sure my headache started today because I let an unexpected text get to me. 
Like. I shouldn't have let it mean so much really. It's just a simple reminder text from the roomies about the garage, but like the whole situation just...got under my skin.
And tensed up my muscles.
And gave me a slight headache that ended up starting behind my left eye, but after taking a nap and such it's now spread to a dull ache in my forehead. *exhales*
Trying to relax my muscles by a heatpack and some Aleve. Also drank some more water and ate more food. 
As well as took out my contacts because they probably are part of the issue as well. *exhales* 
So we'll see if all that will help it to fade away.

Wednesday, September 11, 2019

Ended up with a slight headache behind my right eye again today.
Tried to head it off by taking Excedrin at work, which helped a bit but the headache was still present behind my right eye when I got home. 
Probably because I was subconsciously stressing about things or something.
But adding in a bit of Advil and a heat pack seems to have helped it go away.
So yay!

Tuesday, September 10, 2019

Note to self. Stop taking naps after work as I tend to get a headache behind my right eye when I do which means a) I'm not sleeping the right amount or b) I'm sleeping tense and in either case...it's not good. So dear self. Less naps. 

Monday, September 9, 2019

For a change of pace, the headache has moved to take up residence behind my left eye today.
The muscles in my neck there are stiff.
And I'm guessing it's partially from sleeping, as I took a nap after work and the headache only came after that.
But the tension of work, and the tension of stressors from the night before probably are a factor. 
*exhales*

However the main cause may be from my contacts giving me problems.
As my right eye isn't seeing as well as it should be even with the contact in.
Which could either be from stress....
Or my right eye has decided it actually wants the stronger prescription.

As like a year ago I increased my prescription in my right eye, only to decrease it like four months ago because I was getting too many headaches and was feeling strain...but now the right eye doesn't seem to be liking the weaker prescription...so we're going to try increasing the prescription again in the right eye.
*fingers crossed* that the shift in prescription will help decrease the headaches and help the right eye take on more of the work load. 

Sunday, September 8, 2019

Woke up with a major headache this morning, that I'm pretty sure was caused from sleeping too long as I slept in far later than I meant to today.
But it persisted throughout the day and got worse when I had to put my contacts in so I could actually leave the house. 
But with some excedrin and a long drive up to visit family...the headache did fade and is almost gone currently so yay. 

Saturday, September 7, 2019

Ended up with another headache today behind my right eye.
Wasn't that surprised though because 
a) Didn't get enough sleep
b) Had a long drive that was slightly stressful
c) Spent some unwelcome time in the heat.
d) Spent far too long surrounded by toooo many people who would stand too close to me and that would tense me up.
e) Noise. So much noise
f) probably didn't drink enough liquids today
g) also probably didn't eat enough.

And yah. That's the main list right there as to why I have a headache.
It's managed to fade out a bit now that I've eaten food, drunk liquids, took a nap and a shower.....

But yah.
So much headache. Bleh.

Friday, September 6, 2019

Faint Headache today.
Stress. Mostly Stress.
Usually happens when I go to places with a ton of people.
So much energy. 
So many people.

Me: So we should write the ending now, right?
Brain: ???
Me: You know...finish the fic?
Brain: ???
Me: Finish?
Brain: But....how? 

Wednesday, September 4, 2019

Ended up with a slight headache after work today, once again behind my right eye.
It came on after taking a short nap....so I'm guessing it was resting in the wrong position or for the wrong amount of time or waking up at the wrong moment....
It stuck around for a lot of the evening, but some heat on the shoulder seems to have helped it a little bit.

Tuesday, September 3, 2019

Had a headache for most of today. Which is...antagonizing when you're trying to work and be social and friendly with customers.
I'm pretty sure it was from muscle tension because the area between spine and right shoulder blade has been aching something fierce most of the day and meds haven't been helping.
Took Advil and Excedrin and grabbed a Dr. Pepper, had heat packs and took brief naps at work.
Nothing.

The ache behind my right eye just continued on and on and on and on and on. Sometimes getting worse sometimes getting better but always present.

I ended up grabbing Wendy's after work adding in a small hamburger to my usual order and once I got home I took out my contacts and took another nap....

And somewhere in there it seems to have helped the headache fade more than it's done all day.
So that's good.
Still don't trust it's not going to come back, so right now just taking it easy, hanging out in my room in the semi-darkness and another heatpack over my shoulder to try and keep the muscles there relaxed. 

Monday, September 2, 2019

Ended up wtih a slight headache behind my right eye today after getting home from work.
I think it was just from being tired and maybe slightly stressed from dealing with the holiday rush at work and some work related stressors there.
But it seems like taking a nap and eating a bit of food has helped it mellow out. 
So yay mellow headache day.

The Migraine did indeed go Nuclear.
Making it difficult to have any restful rest.
Kept up the heatpacks and Tylenol and ended up taking like a half hour shower at like 4am this morning to try and get the muscles relaxed and the headache gone.
Helped a little.
Not much.
As it seemed like it gets worse whenever I stand up. XP 
Ended up camping out in the family room on the couch, listening to various movies on Netflix as I drifted in and out of sleep.

Ended up taking an Excedrin and what do you know...it seems this time around THATS the medication that will help this nuclear Migraine go away as the ache has decreased to being barely noticeable at this point in time.

Still taking it easy, hanging out on the couch, (and probably shouldn't be on the computer blogging, but I'm tired of doing 'nothing' so here we are.) 
But yah. Not going to do anything too crazy today as I don't want to end up with the headache coming back.

Though knowing how these nuclear headaches go...It's probably going to happen regardless of what I do.
