I had a pretty full day today, and didn't get home till about 9:00 p.m. tonight. I had a bit of a headache. If you know me in real life over the last few years it was one of "those" headaches. For those of you that don't know me, or haven't seen me for several years, I get Migraine like headaches. I've never had them diagnosed as migraines, but they do fit the general description of them.
I get an intense hurting either at the base of my neck, or behind one of my eyes, that works it's way around to the other side of my head. I get very sensitive to bright lights, strong smells, and sometimes motion. Surprisingly, sounds don't seem to bother me that much during these headaches. In fact, sometimes listening to soft music helps with them. I have gotten sick to my stomach, and actually gotten sick with them before, but not every time. When I get these headaches, all I want to do is lay down, and go to sleep. I've had them at work before, and it's like hell getting through the evening with them. Sometimes the drive home is interesting, especially when I'm sensitive to motion. I've had to drive a little bit, then stop when I've almost gotten sick in the car. That's only happened a couple of times, thankfully!
Any way, I went to a friends birthday party to night, and had a good time. My neck started hurting before I left the house to go, and I should have known what was coming. About 20 minutes before I left my friends house it started getting worse, and got even worse on the drive home. I kinda laid in bed listening to the comedy channel on my satellite radio, but the headache got bad enough that I had to use an ice pack. That's what I did before I found Excedrin Migraine pills! They have been life savers sometimes!! Usually 2 will get ride, or make the headaches tolerable with in 30-45 minutes. It's a combination of Aspirin, Acetaminophen, and Caffeine. My headache wasn't bad enough to use them tonight, but it wasn't too far from it.
I could still look up the info I was wanting to use for the post, but I'm going to go back to bed in a few minutes. I just got up to check my email, Facebook, and Myspace profiles. I wanted to write to my readers to let them know I;ll be writing the NASA post tomorrow night. I'm planing to write it as a historic post about the tragic beginning of the Apollo Programme, the fire aboard Apollo 1. I also hope to finally get my other Blog, Inside The West Wing, off the ground sometime this week. If you haven't looked at it, it's a blog for people who are fans of the NBC T.V. show "The West Wing"!! I'm looking forward to this blog very much!! :) :)
