I have not been able to sleep. I'm suffering from a really bad headache, and nothing is making it go away. I've been getting them for a week now and they are not much fun. I don't usually go to the doctors for headaches, because I have grown up having them my whole life. My sister goes in for hers, but hers are probably a hundred times worse than mine. She gets migraines and has to be on medication. I just take the over the counter stuff and hope it works. It usually does. I've got this bottle of Excedrin the kind that has the added caffeine. Well, normally it works if I take a couple of them and have something to drink like a soda, but yesterday they didn't work, and I took 2 in the morning, then 2 in the afternoon and a couple more in the evening. Nothing worked. However, the caffeine worked! It kept me jittery so bad all night that I had no way to fall asleep. :(
So, I've not only had a headache from hell, I've been up all night fighting with sleep, and there's nothing worse than being tired, and feeling jittery with a headache. I hate not being able to sleep when I really need to. So.. here it is almost 10am and I have been up fighting this headache... which I think may be related to a sinus infection, and also my period which it just so happens came along last night. I of course took a hot shower/bath at 10:30pm, hoping that would help me sleep. Yah, right. Then I took another really long hot bath at 5am, that also didn't do any good.
Now I am here my eyes still wide awake, hurting, and burning, my poor head feeling like it's on fire, my entire body feeling sick, like I want to throw up and my damn period.
No fucking fun.
God, sometimes I wish I were not female.
You know, I'd bet anything that my headaches are really bad enough to go into a doctor and ask for something "GOOD" to take... something other than asprin, or ibuprofen, or such. Sometimes I have to take up to 4 at a time to make any sort of difference in my headaches. I get way too many. I am jealous of the people who have never had one in their entire life. All I can tell you is it feels like a toothache in your head, and if you've never had one of those, try taking off your shoe and ramming your toe into the foot of a coffee table or how about taking a frying pan and smacking yourself on the nose with it at full force. That's about as painful as a headache, but the pain does NOT seem to go away.
UGH That's all for right now.. my head hurts too much and my ears are ringing, and if I can sleep a few hours in peace now I will, because the kids are off to school and it's quiet and dark in here. Poor me :(
Ouch. But, at least I do not have the flu. *knock on wood*

My perpetual mood: 
 | 'Forgotten Things' "Moreover, something is or seems,
That touches me with mystic gleams,
Like glimpses of forgotten dreams-- Of something felt, like something here;
Of something done, I know not where;
Such as no language may declare." Quote excerpted from "The Two Voices"
by Alfred Lord Tennyson
