Day 3 of shitty headaches

I woke up with a headache and it turned into a migraine. Then after the migraine went away, it turned back into a headache. I managed to get a few assignments done but still have two more to do. I will try tomorrow as I can fucking find the information I need anywhere. I might skip it and just complete the rest of the paper. I don’t care at this point.

I had ordered blueberry muffins and someone ate two of them last night. I had the last one this morning with my coffee. My sister was home and she was bitching the whole time I was in the kitchen drinking my coffee. It was not pleasant and didn’t help my fucking headache.

I had some turkey and pupusas for dinner. Then I did my med boxes. I kept forgetting to do them. This headache is making everything worse. My thinking isn’t clear. I just want to lie down. I wanted to sleep in till noon but my damn sister played her music so fucking loud and then opened her door. That was the end of me resting. Tomorrow she goes to work so I have the house to myself again. No bitching or music.

I have decided to do “no shave November”. I was going to shave my head at the barber but decided to let it grow for the month. Maybe I will let it be. I can’t really decide what to do with my hair. I like it short and bald. I like it a little long. Just sucks that the front is thin and some spots bald because of T. I have a receding line. It sucks.

I was hoping to read my library book tonight but this headache isn’t making it likely. I’m probably going to go to bed early like I did last night. Maybe tomorrow I can go to Starbucks and finish my homework assignments. I haven’t heard back from the professor yet but I am sure I will tomorrow. I got to email my neuro tomorrow about these damn headaches. Nothing seems to be working. I am at my wits end. I stopped taking the gabapentin because I was just gaining weight from it. It really wasn’t helping the migraines or the headaches at all.

I have been doing my homework the past couple of hours. I have no idea what I am doing for one of them. I can’t find the answers and it’s frustrating me. I might make it up or guess. I had to email the professor on a question because I couldn’t find the answer anywhere.

My groceries came. I was glad they gave me a case of Powerade rather than bags. It makes it easier to carry. I had to do it myself because no one was home. My sister was home but she wouldn’t help me. I had a muffin with a cup of coffee and I am feeling full. I don’t know what I want to eat for supper. I got a headache/migraine. I’ve had it since I got up. I think it’s a continuation of yesterday. Feels the same. I got a lot more schoolwork done though so that is good.

Temps were in the 50s today but it didn’t feel cold. Supposed to be 49 tomorrow and then back up in the 70s most of the week. I think it is going to be another warm winter, which means I can keep my AC in a little longer.

Tomorrow is my little sister’s birthday. She is in Nashville with her husband celebrating. I am happy for her but I miss her. She is going to the Patriots game. I hope they win. They haven’t played well all season. I am feel so tired. I want to do some more work on my homework before turning in. I hate that the professor gave us five homework assignments at once. I did the discussion things today so I am done with that. I want to read my library book but I don’t think I can with this migraine.

I’ve been keeping track of my migraines since the 21st of Oct. I’ve had 6 migraines, including today. I tried to work through it but I couldn’t.  I have 7 things to get done by Monday so this migraine needs to be gone.

I met with my professor today. We talked about neurotransmitters and stuff for the exam. I am so overwhelmed. She wanted me to utilize the disability center but I don’t think I need their services. I know i can do this. I just need to fucking focus. The hardest part is going to be knowing the pathways. I got a week and a few days before exam to memorize them. But having a migraine every other day is not fucking helping me.

I tried listening to music today and it was a trigger for my brain exploding. I was sensitive to sound. I forgot to do my Italian yesterday. I don’t know how that slipped. I think I should be ok for class as long as it isn’t super intensive. It’s a 102 level so I hope not. I am trying for 2 classes next semester. Umass is finally free tuition so I want to take advantage of it.

I was up early and I am wicked tired fighting this migraine. I laid down for a little bit and it was almost an hour. I didn’t want to get up but I was thirsty. I had three cups of coffee and some juice. I made some burgers. I swear i could live off them. I place my grocery order to be delivered tomorrow. I’m running low on powerade. I had some weird dreams but I slept through the night. I have to be up early tomorrow for the delivery.

Happy Halloween! Today I am celebrating the publication of my book by going out to the pub for a drink and burger before the concert. I am seeing the beautiful Jennifer Nettles. I’ve been listening to her and little big town all day.

I was so grateful class was on zoom today. I met with the professor after class and we went over my exam. I made some stupid mistakes and others were just guesses as I didn’t know. I got one answer changed as it was just on the cusp of the area that was correct.

Went to the concert and had a wicked good time. Sugarland was so fucking good. I love Jennifer Nettles so much. Her vocals were phenomenal. I recorded Babe and Little Big Town’s Better Man, both Taylor Swift songs that got awards. Karen Fairfield did an excellent job performing Better Man. It was so awesome seeing it live. My cousin came with me and she had a good time.
