stop the pounding...
It's baaAAAAaaack.
And we hates it still!!
THIS time I'm (almost) certain the headache has preceeded the muscle spasms. Add the rainy weather that settled on us kinda sudden-like, and you have got yourself a whole mess-a hurt.
ALL my teeth are hurting right now, from my eyes up to the top of my head feels like a stinkin' monkey is in there banging away with a hammer and from the base of my head to the middle of my back feels like two more dadgone monkeys are in there on each end of all them muscles twisting in opposite directions!
YEOW!!!!!!!!!
Okay, okay...done whining.
Today's been a bust.
Took Corey to work at 11a.m. and then Case and I went to the library to find books on calligraphy. Check.
Then headed to the shopping center to look for calligraphy stuff and groceries at Wa|mar+, but decided we needed sustinence first. Walk to Golden Corral. Check.
After stuffing ourselves and making a potty stop, back to the mega-chain discount super store. Check.
We got busy shopping and I missed my cell phone. I have a new one now. Well, new-to-me. See:
So, I can't find this blasted phone because I don't have a case for it. I dug all through my mondo-purse and couldn't find it!! I thought maybe I'd stuck it in my pocket and it had fallen out at GC. I sent Casey out to the car to look for it.
Casey went with much reluctance. He hadn't been gone too long when my mondo-purse started to ring.
Gah!! It was in the dorky front pocket. On the OUTSIDE of the purse! Sheesh!
How embarrassing! Anyhow, phone located, I continued my shopping. A different kind of shopping because I come bearing coupons! I seldom use coupons because 1- we don't get any newspapers and so have no regular source of them and 2 - I usually can't remember where they are when I need them!
This time was different. I got my ClubMom coupon bookie thing a few days ago and I was ready!
I bought a bunch of health and beauty aid stuff with my handy-dandy coupons. I saved almost $10! Woo-and-a-Hoo!
Anyhow, whoop-dee-do, I went shopping, came home, unloaded it all with Casey's help. We both were talking 'nap' when Tommy called to say he needed me to go to Corbin to pick up a part for the Trep. If I would do that, it'd give him and Corey extra daylight to go take a bunch of other parts they'd made a deal for at another shop.
On the way there, JUST after I got off the interstate, it proceeded to POUR A FLOOD!!! It was raining so hard I had to pull over. Thankfully, it didn't last long. Then I experienced the inner workings of a big-time salvage yard.
Sheesh. In other words, I waited for about 20 minutes listening to a big ol' guy answering the phone and wheelin'-and-dealin' all in this growly, mono-tone voice with a hick accent.
Yea-up. I did.
Got the part, headed home in the aftermath of a flash flood....gravel all over the roads! Dropped Casey off at the other shop where Tommy and Corey were working and headed home as fast as I could!
Now, here I sit. Typing out the miniscule details of my day so that ya'll can feel the same excruciating pain that I do.
Actuall, that's just a nasty side-effect of reading this post.
Take two (or more!) asprin and read me in the morning. ;)

Actually, I wouldn't call today a bust! You really accomplished quite a bit considering how you were feeling. Way to go, G!

Hope your headache is gone today, G~! Have you seen that new headache stuff in a tube that you rub on your head? Looks kinda like a giant gluestick. When my mother used to get severe migraines, she used to use BenGay on her head. She said it worked. She *thinks* that the new tube will work. I don't know whats in it, but I'm going to try and find it for Mel. Don't know if it will help her, as most of her headaches are related to sinus (like weather changes) or her not taking her iron.
That's funny about your cell phone. Yep, it is! We were in Walmart checkout one time, and someones phone was ringing. We're all looking around trying to find the person who was annoying everyone by not answering their phone. Turns out it was D's phone. Clipped to his back pocket. ROFLOL I'm the only one who calls him, so he wasn't expecting his phone to be ringing. (It was my bro, by the way, thinking he was calling me. D and I had switched phones. LOL)
You haven't LIVED, until you've gone to a junkyard!!!
ROFLOL Not too much longer, until C gets his license, huh ?, then HE can go to all those kinds of places! Men in those places always look at women who come in like they have 2 heads, and are stupid!
*disclaimer) I haven't actually been to the one you went to, but I have been in others. Maybe your's wasn't like that.*end of disclaimer*
Anyway, hope you have a good day. I have to try and get some work out of D. But I bet he spends most of the day with Precious, getting her ready for a car show tomorrow. grrrrr
This is my first long comment since you switched to whatever this format is. lol Will I once again be told I talk too much?????
If you see this, then I DON'T talk to much!! lol

Lawsay me, Member Linda! You jes' went ta town, did'n ya?! ;)
These comments (another feature I LOVE about MT) will go on forEVAH! ;)
I've put straight peppermint oil on my head before. If nothin' else it'll open up the ol' sinuses all the way to tomorrow! Yessiree! I'm sure that's 'bout like BenGay. & I can relate to your mom's using it...when it goes on forever, you will do just about ANYTHING to make it quit.
I dunno that these are migraines, like I said before. AND I think mine are related to sinus crud, too. And stress crud.
It just comes on so slowly..& I'm busy doing stuff, so I don't really notice it until I either stop what I'm doing OR it gets so bad you can't NOT notice it. :\
LOL about junkyards. I'm glad Case went w/me b/c it gave me a little validity to have an actual male-type person w/me.
Gah! I'd have never gone back in my skinny days. Sheesh! When I worked at my dad's John Deere dealership umpteen years ago, it was a lot like the junkyard office. Guh! I tried to stay in the office all I could, but sometimes I'd have to go out to the parts counter for something. There was this one guy who never failed to make some comment. Since HE KNEW my dh worked there, too, I'd just haul off with a real scorching comeback. It was a joke on both sides, so it was funny. But some of them were just letcherous! GAH!
So, I can do w/o having to stop at the junkyard ANYday. Yep. I will NOT consider my day incomplete w/o a trip there. *shudder*
(see? toldja the comments go on forever! LOL!)
Hope Mel's feeling better re: teeth. CyaLater! :)

Thanks, Alberto. I'll have to find that one!

Aw, thanks Claire. :) I guess you have a point. All I could think of was how awful I felt.
Went to bed with lotsa tylenol. *sigh* And an ice pack on m'head.
Face all swollen and achy this morning, but I put a cold wet cloth on my head, salve up the nose and a couple shots of Afrin spray...just for good measure. *gah!* and now I'm functioning fairly well. At least I don't feel like I did yesterday!!
PTL!!!
~hugs~
