PayBack

I pulled open my bedroom door and paused, gazing down in bemusement at the gift my roommate had left me. A little tower of change stood, blocking my path. 
"Not quite how I expected to be paid back." I mumble, bending down to scoop up the handful of bills and change. "But it does work out."

There are days when I really just....don't like working Saturdays. 
For the most part it's because I have to do a lot more customer service than on the other days of the week.
Which...while draining is okay because at least it keeps me busy.

Today though.
It was dead for most of my shift.
Which put me in the hard position of a) not having anything to do task wise and b) not having anyone to help which left me aimlessly wandering the aisles trying to keep myself entertained until someone walked in the door that I could help.

And that too...is draining.
I ended up with a headache much earlier in the day than I usually do on a Saturday workday. 

It came on around 1 or so.
Tension in my neck. An ache across both eyes.

*exhales* 
I was hoping taking a nap after work would help it.
No such luck.
It's moved to just behind the right eye currently, edging down past the ear into the neck.

So at least it's not the entire head that is in pain.

Still though.
Not fun to have to deal with. 

Slight headache behind the right eye tonight.
Probably because my right side from shoulder to hip has been aching throughout the day.
Who knows why.
*exhales*
It is getting tedious though. 

An Interloper

She stepped into the living room, eyes flashing as she glanced about the place, automatically judging the slight dust on the shelves, my feet on the coffee table and the Halloween decorations scattered about. "Oh." She sniffed crossing her arms. "Decorating for Halloween are you?" 
I frown at her tone, not liking how disapproving she sounded. 
"Yes?" My roommate queried a bit taken aback at the tone. "It's not even all up yet. I love this holiday." 
"Ah. Well..." She moved into the kitchen her judging eye taking in the semi clean counters and the bowls of Halloween candy we had on the table. "At least you got candy." She said, grabbing a handful of skittles. "That's the important thing."

Give Me Alone Time

They were there. Constantly around me. I couldn't escape them. The people. Every room I went in, there was another body. There was another sound. It was relentless. There was no peace. There was no quiet. There was no way I could ever relax. Not when the people were there.

Too Loud

His voice rang in my ear, blaring like a foghorn as his words inundated my skull.
I flinched, tearing the earpiece out of my ear, unable to take such a racket at such close range. "Ow!" I complained aloud, shaking my head, desperately trying to get the ringing to fade before I cautiously moved the earpiece back up to my ear. "Try and deafen me why don't you?" I told him, making a face. 
"Deafen you?"
It was quieter this time. Thankfully. 
"Yes. You were practically yelling that first time." 

-Inspiration from Work

The muscles from my neck down between my right shoulder blade and spine all the way down to my hip have been aching today.
Aching hard enough that I've had a near constant headache.
Which has faded in and out as I've rested my eyes and taken to putting heatpacks along the sore area to try and get the muscles to relax.
But honestly....
Why?
Why are you aching?
I haven't done anything besides like...write? 
Why have you decided to stress out and go tense like this right side of my body?

*exhales* 
Who knows.
Who really knows.
