Headaches ...

stink!

Headaches are horrible and I seem to get them way too often.

I have figured out by journaling what I eat that I can no longer have any kind of soda pop. ("soda" for people in CA and "pop" for those in CO.) If I eat anything with aspartame my head feels like it will explode!

I also get headaches when there is any kind of change in the weather.

I get a headache when I don't drink enough water and I get a headache if I don't get enough sleep.

I get a headache when I don't wear my glasses and I get a headache when I do wear my glasses.

I get a headache if my workout is too intense and I get a headache if I don't eat right.

My Ma is a big getter of the headache ... a headache-getter ... one who gets an ache in their head. Can they be hereditary? Maybe so ... I have one as I type this.

I just came home from taking Matthew swimming at the Y. Great, now I can add I get headaches from swimming ... maybe too much chlorine? The Y pool has an outrageous amount of chlorine I think ... my skin is dry enough to strike a match ... would that give me a headache too? Probably.

I have been drinking lots of water and every so often I'll cruise the internet and look for any new headache info; ways to cope, how to avoid ... on and on. I'm not a pill popper ... and I hate the need to be sucking down Tylenol all the time and I sometimes feel like I should be. Maybe Tylenol gives me a headache?

I think the worst is waking up with a headache ... that happens lots too. It's just not a nice way to start the day. I just end up coping with it ... and it sucks. Headaches suck.

Ahhh, I just saw a commercial for The Office ... starting back next week!!! YIPEEE! I just LOVE that show. The Office does not give me headaches.

Guess I better flash the lights at my husband in hopes that he will bring me some Tylenol, and then to bed I will go. Friday tomorrow ... this week has gone by fast! My in-laws are coming into town tomorrow night ... late ... then leaving Sunday morning ... early.

Thank you Lord for today, for swimming with my Matthew, for the laughter that comes from my Gracie Lou, for my husband bringing me Tylenol. Amen.
