I ended up with a headache today.
Probably from the tension of trying to live tweet General Conference for four hours. 
*exhales*

It wasn't that bad during conference.
But as the evening progressed....
The tension in my muscles wouldn't fade.
And the ache behind my eyes just got worse. 

To the point where I was feeling sick.

So I'm going to bed early.
Hopefully the headache will go away.
But I'm not optimistic.
It's likely to be a headache that will keep me up all night.

….Guess we'll see. 

Flowers

I crouched down, fingers trembling as I touched the first petal in the bouquet. 

"Who?" I whispered, looking up, glancing around. Who had left these on my doorstep? And were they...were they really for me?

I smiled, picking up the vase, bringing the flowers closer to my face to inhale of their scent. "Ahh." 

It didn't really matter I suppose. I turned, heading back inside. The flowers were just what I needed for the day. 

-Inspiration from being given flowers. 

Sunset Musings

I leaned against the railing, breathing in the crisp autumn air, staring at the reddened skies as the setting sun briefly vanished behind a cloud.
"So this is Fall." I whisper, a small smile growing on my face.
Finally, after months of having to deal with heat and dryness.
I could finally feel at ease. 
Finally the cold was coming.
I looked forward to it.

Sore muscles.
Pretty sure it's sore muscles.
Pain. Radiating up from my hip to the ribs to the shoulders, up the neck, into the head.
It's all just one aching problem right now.
Causing a major headache that just has me feeling....off. Not quite sick. But getting there. 
*exhales* 
I need to get these muscles to relax.
Because getting a headache every afternoon this week is. not. fun. 

The trend of the week definitely seems to be getting headaches in the afternoon. *exhales*
I think this one is caused from working my muscles a bit too much yesterday so I was sorer today than normal.
-As bending and stretching and reaching to get decorations in your tank is rather....well my arm was sore today lol.

And it was the right side that ended up with the headache and the right side that did all the work.
So the headache is probably caused by those aching muscles. *exhales* 

At least taking out my contacts seems to have helped to release the strain. So I may have been too focused today as well...who knows. 

Ended up with another headache this evening.
Possibly from doing too much and not getting enough sleep. 
But possibly from tension.
Like...it's behind my right eye and the right side of my face has been aching off and on because I'm apparently being paranoid about it and therefore it's making everything worse because I'm focused on it. 
*exhales*
Hopefully sleep is the trick to making this headache go away. 

I would be tempted to think the headache I got today was a delayed reaction to yesterday's Fast Sunday.
After all I usually get a headache on Fast Sundays and didn't. 

But no.
I'm pretty sure today's headache was caused from too much interaction at work.
As it was oddly busy for a Monday. 
The phones were constantly ringing, There was a constant stream of people needing help. Cashiers were constantly calling for backup. 
And of course the managers were needing me to be every which way. 

*shakes head*

So I wasn't surprised to end up with an aching headache behind my eyes this afternoon as my shift ended.
I knew I would get one once I clued into how tense and aching my shoulders and back were.

An early indication that I've been overextending my energy. Been helping too many people. Been trying to do too much. 

Thankfully. It's gone.
Some food, baja blast, and Tylenol seem to have done the trick. :) yay.
