Tension Headaches & Marathon Massages

So today was a good day. Kept very busy at work and was able to pull away by 5:30 (although I arguably could've been there until 8 or 9 going at different projects). I didn't realize how stressed out I was until I got home. Although I actually think my stress is coming more from anxiety about my marathon next weekend than from work...but whatever. Ain't no thang on me.

So I came home with the hopes of running, but it didn't happen because of a headache I had brewing in my brain since around 3:30. I opted to update my iPod marathon playlist instead. Special shout out to Kittenhead for sending me the mp3 of AC/DC's Thunderstruck. I appreciate it, Sonia! It'll be the first song I play as I cross the starting the marathon. Definitely enough power to get my motor going. So thanks for the suggestion, girls, and thanks for getting it to me.

By the time I finished updating my iPod with a few more songs (mostly with the likes of Outkast, Missy Elliott and and stuff I normally wouldn't be caught dead listening to...) my head was absolutely pounding. I thought it was cause I was hungry...which certainly was not the case as I snarffed down some food. But seeing as I was late for my pre-marathon massage, I forgot about the foot to dash off to Urban Oasis.

The massage was AWESOME...and soooo well needed (and deserved, I'll add!). Cecily got all the kinks out of my shoulders and back...although I nearly rocket launched off the table when she got to my legs and feet. I think running has made me even more ticklish. Funny how sensitivity works. I was hoping it'd help my headache go away, but no such luck.

I came home to dinner and some aleve...and it still hurt. Throbbing. Right behind the eyes and at the top of my neck. I could literally feel my brain pulsating...which is a rather scary experience if it's never happened to you before. Mike seems to think I could be getting the migranes my dad and sister are so accustomed to...god forbid. So I've been moping around...trying to shake this stupid headache. Finally, with the help of a heat pack, it's just now starting to subside...nearly 6 hours later. Not feeling super fantastic...but at least I can see straight now.

Good news...I got my sapphire ring back from the jeweler today. ANNNNNNND our new queen bed came this morning. Thanks Mom & Dad...what a rockstar Christmas gift. I can hear it calling my name right now...luring me to dreamland...can you hear it? Do ya?

:yawn:

Good night!
