No worries!
I seem to be better this morning...perhaps it was the full night of sleep I managed to sneak in. I am truly thankful that I slept well last night, and am looking forward to an even better night of sleep tonight. I may just end up in bed at 7pm, and as of right now that sounds perfect.

Tension Headache??
Another quick one this evening, as it is about 2 hours past my usual bedtime :p
Last night I got very little sleep and was wide awake from 1:30-5am, which wasn't fun. Before I went to bed I got a 'headache' right, smack on the top of my head. It's more like pressure, but whatever it is, it's unpleasant. Of course this concerned me because usually my headaches are sinus related and more towards the front of my head.
I took some OTC meds before bed, then at the party I was having in the middle of the night. They help to some degree, but not entirely. Of course I have been freaking myself by reading 'stuff' on the internets. I don't know why I allow myself to do that.
Anyway, I am still suffering from this 'headache' tonight - it's been 24 hours. I am not sure what kind of headache this is, but I think I have narrowed it down to a Tension Headache. I read on the Mayo Clinic site about them earlier today, and my symptoms fit the bill (insomnia, achy jaw, etc.). It's just unfortunate because it's a pesky type of headache and the normal OTC's do not cut it!
But what I'd like to know is what caused this? Anxiety? Stress? Diet? Lack of Sleep? Contacts? it could be a number of things, which is just unfortunate because I would like to try and avoid this in the future.
If it keeps bugging me this weekend I'll get examined on Monday. Let's hope it doesn't get that far!

Hello Blog!
Im not even sure where to start, but I know it will be brief.
This is my 3rd(maybe??) attempt at beginning a blog (I read waaay too many), we'll see if it actually sticks around this time! My newest motivation? The fact that I have just purchased myself a laptop, and I have always (day) dreamed of typing while lying in my bed, which is what I am currently doing :)
So aside from wanting to sit in bed and type, there are other reasons that I would like to begin a 'journaling' of my not-so-exciting life, but hey, this is for me!
1. Travels (for work and pleasure) - between now and the end of the year I will be out of town at least 6 times. My first travels begin next Tuesday, and I hope they're somewhat enjoyable, even though it will be LOTS of driving - boo. I guess things could be worse.
2. 'Diet' - I use that term loosely - it's not that I am going on a diet, it's that I want to change my diet. You see, I am going to try change a lot of my diet to a raw diet, for body and mind. It will probably not be 100% raw b/c I love *cooked* food so much - and I am highly short on time...it may even take me a HUGE amount of time to get even partially raw - what did I eat raw today you ask? umm a tomato. Yeah, long way to go, but perhaps this will give me some motivation.
3. Photography - I somewhat recently bought a Digital SLR camera. I am learning the ropes of trying to shoot in Manual, not easy, but it's progressing. I shall hopefully use my plot of the internets to post some - if I ever figure it out!
4. General - for moments like this, when I am just hanging out watching awful T.V., or well listening to it. Somewhere for me to complain, or not. Keep notes? perhaps. We'll see, I hope to stick to this and that this blog evolves into it's own awesome space!
That's it for now, I'm tired and I want (err NEED) to skate in the morning.
So pull up a chair and stick around, or not, I'm not promising things will improve, but hopefully they will!
