Unexpected Tenseup

Ended up with another headache today.
Mostly because I got a bit tense from unexpectedly needing to interact with people when I hadn't been planning to interact with them. 
*exhales* 
Hopefully it's a faint ache that will vanish with sleep.
Advil seems to be helping a little....
But we'll see. 

A Steady Increase

It came on during work.
I'm not quite sure why. 
A reaction to a bad dream?
A reaction to slight stress at work?

Who knows.
But the headache began to make it's presence known just after I finished my first 15 minute break of the day.
So I went to take preventative measures. Taking an Advil and putting on some essential oils. 

Which helped a little.

But towards lunchtime it was coming back.

So I took a nap for my break, and some more advil and more essential oils.

But it was steadily getting stronger as the shift progressed.

So after work I went to a fast food place nearby home to get some hot food....as maybe I needed more meat in my system or something, as well as a Dr. Pepper because Caffeine.
And came home, ate, drank the Dr. Pepper, heated up a heat pack, grabbed some Excedrin and took a brief nap.

It's helped kinda.
The headache's faded a bit, but still tends to get randomly stronger for a bit before fading again. 
*exhales* 
Hopefully sleep tonight will make the last of it go away.

Too Long

I'd only meant for it to be like a fifteen minute nap. 
Just a moment to rest my eyes and recalibrate....

But I ended up shutting off my alarm.
And slept for 3 hours instead. 

Heh. Oops.

Guess I was exhausted.
Not too surprising, the past couple days at work had been tiring. 

Still, I may have slept a little too long,
As there's been a slight ache behind my eyes since I woke up. 

Hopefully it doesn't become anything more major....

Live

I pulled the tiny bird close to me, my hands heating up in an attempt to warm up the little creature. "Come on." I whispered, gently running a finger down the bird's back. "You can pull through. Don't die on me now."
The bird shivered in my grasp, closing it's eyes and holding far too still as it leaned into my touch.
"come on." I whispered again, my vision blurring. "Please. come on."

Threatening But Not Yet Come

There's been a headache threatening to come at me for most of the day.

Most of it was caused by tension.

It was a day where I was a bit more sensitive to noise. Where I felt like people were making sounds much louder than necessary.

It was also a day where the energy just felt...off.

People were tense. There felt like there was more negativity and anger swirling around me as people voiced disgruntlements about certain events that were happening.

It just...felt weird.

And it was difficult to be around for long periods of time.

Thankfully though, I've managed to keep the headache at bay so far. 

Focusing on other tasks.

Distancing myself from others.

It's helped. 

Brain: Should he be a criminal or a famous star? 

Me: Uhmmm

Brain: Could he be both?

Me: Sounds....complicated there....

Brain: True...but like could he be both??

Me: *exhales*

Brain: WHY DID THE MOVIE END THAT WAY?!

Me: ....Because....that's how they wanted the movie to end?

Brain: *annoyed* It's a stupid ending. I would have written it differently! Made it more meaningful! Wrapped up the plots. Given more freaking motivation!

Me: .....

Brain: Yah. That's it. We're doing this! REWRITE HERE WE COME!

Me: *rolls eyes* Why am I not surprised? *grabs pen to start jotting down ideas*
