Oh, the places we go

C and I made our way to Virginia last night. It was a great trip, with minimal traffic until we got outside Richmond. The weather is nicer down here than at home. Rainy today, but still nicer! I cannot drive a manual car, so he was the driver and I was his faithful passenger/sidekick. We joked abut a lot of things, talked about rings (woot!), and just had a great time together.

“Sexiest Women of All Time”

http://www.menshealth.com/sex-women/hottest-women-all-time

That’s the article declaring the list of women, who are the sexiest women of all time. Apparently.

See, I feel this is a misnomer.

If you happen to look at the list, it’s women from the past 100 years. So Men’s Health really cannot claim they are the sexiest women of all time. Because we will never know.

Just my 2 cents.

And yes, it is bugging me.

Headache City

I started out about 6 years ago with a nasty headache every so often. I can remember one particular time that it was literally on one half of my head. Over the years, the headaches began coming monthly. I attributed it to a surge in hormones. I have read that it can trigger headaches.

When these headaches would start, it was a dull ache. Over the past few years, I have recognized the signs and to take something right away if it was available. If not, the headache would become a horrible pounding. I would get nauseated, but not sick. Whenever these headaches occur, all I want to do is sleep. Usually, sleep will knock out most of the pain.

I remember a hot, sunny day last October, and I got the start of a headache. I attributed it to being I. The sunny weather, and drank as much water as I could. I didn't have anything on me to take for my headache, so I just took on the pain. I was camping with my family that weekend, and had to drive 2 hours by myself that night to get home. It was so bad that I prayed that I got home safely.

I can usually predict when the next headache will occur. Like clockwork, it has been pretty regular. Last month, I noticed I did not get one at the regular time. So I was doing a happy dance on the inside, celebrating the fact that I didn't have a headache.

I spoke too soon. Not only did I get one within day's of me noticing, I also got 3 more. Plus nausea with it. Those 4 days were awful.

So, then last week, I ended November with a nasty headache and started December with one. This time, dizziness accompanied the headaches. I finally decided I needed to call the doctor to make an appointment. C asked what took me so long. I was hopeful that I could take care of them on my own. But I can't anymore. It's affecting my life.

Yesterday was the latest headache. I was fine until 6 last night and then BAM! It knocked into me, made me feel funny, get dizzy, and have nausea. I felt like I could collapse at any given moment.

I've had a couple of nights where I wish I didn't live alone. Last night being one of them. I was scared that something would happen to me. I called C and cried on the phone to him , because I was so scared. Eventually, I calmed down. We talked about things, kind of took my mind off if it. When we got off the phone, I fought the nausea/dizziness, rolled over and fell asleep until 5 this morning.

I am scared. It's hard not to be when the headaches are getting worse. But hopefully I have some answers Monday afternoon.
